Rentability and Wow Factor? Velmar Penthouse!

Robert:

Velmar Penthouse is a really cozy and cute 2 bedroom 2 bath unit 2 blocks from the beach in Bucerias' Zona Dorada...the views of the bay are stunning; as dramatic as can be. And, because Velmar Penthouse sits on a gentle hilltop, the views will never be obstructed.




The penthouse is in a great 6 unit building that is exceptionally well run and well maintained. Maintenance fees are very low; around $240 USD a month, depending on the exchange rate.







Fully furnished and fully equipped, ready to live, rent or both.

Bucerias Cobblestone Brigade Out In Force

Robert:

For several years the side streets in the Zona Dorada (Golden Zone) neighborhood of Bucerias have been in bone-jarring condition, with thousands of threatening potholes. Some blocks looked as if they had been cluster bombed, and were really a trial to navigate without seriously damaging your vehicle or having the fillings fly out of your teeth.

The irony was that this tourist zone was in much worse repair than many areas of the support communities of San Jose or San Vicente or Valle Banderas. Although it was good to see the city spending money on those inland communities as well.

But the municipality has now directed funds in this direction, and crews have been painstakingly repairing the cobblestone streets block by block. What a relief...and a big Gracias! to the ayuntamiento (city hall).



This was taken yesterday afternoon...it's calle Francisco Madero, looking from calle Galeana south toward calle Juarez.

Driving Through Nuevo Vallarta Out To Hwy 200

Robert:

I was leaving an attractive house in Nuevo Vallarta's canal area yesterday, and driving through the neighborhood and out to hiway 200, to return to Bucerias. Everything is maximum green right now, and there was good afternoon light, so I shot some video to give you a bit of a tour of the area.

If you have never driven around in Nuevo Vallarta's canal home area, you might be surprised at what's there; beautiful, mature landscaping; nice homes on the canals, many with private docks. It's a tranquil, tropical suburbia.

Notice the Carl's Junior hamburger place on the right as you approach the highway 200 overpass? In that same little strip mall is a Subway, a Wing's Army, and a Tower Pizza; American cultural hegemony running rampant.





Our Newest Agent.

Robert:

Here's our newest agent. He's a bit inexperienced, a rookie, a little green, but just needs some on the job training. In any case, he is tenacious, and on an upward career path.

"For No One"...Tranquility Break.

Robert:

Regardless of your age or taste in music, surely you can appreciate this example of breathtaking natural talent. It seems so effortless, as great talent so often does.

He had so much hauntingly lovely melody in his head, and was at the height of his powers, in his finest form, when he wrote and recorded this: Click Here or the video prompt below, which may or may not appear, depending on your device and browser.









Another Reason Most of Us Here Love The Rainy Season

Robert:

Yesterday, about 6:30 p.m. The brighter of the two was visible as a complete arch.

This lasted a long time. The first photo was taken as I was leaving Mega; the second a while later from near my house.



An evening of thunder and cooling rain followed. Off and on through the night. Nice.
