One of the biggest considerations facing any potential real estate buyer in Panama is location. Do you want to live in the city and enjoy access to restaurants, nightlife or shopping? Is a beach home with ocean views important to you? Is access to a golf course an important consideration? Do you prefer the serenity of an island home? Or is a cool climate and gorgeous mountain scenery more appealing? What about recreation -- like a pool, exercise facilities, spas, nature trails, sport fishing or a golf course? What will the project look like years down the road? There are many more questions to ask yourself, since location and lifestyle is a matter of personal preference. When making the decision to invest in real estate in Panama, a comparison of the benefits offered by master planned communities against those of living in unplanned neighborhoods should be made. Careful master planning takes into consideration all of the factors just mentioned -- and many more -- bringing long-lasting benefits and satisfaction to potential home buyers.

A well-planned community creates a complete residential environment by providing a variety of housing choices while meeting residents' needs for recreation, support services and open space. The developments participating in the Lifestyle Collection represented by Prima Panama have built a variety of master planned communities throughout Panama. A properly planned development adds up to a better quality of life that becomes even more rewarding as the years go by. Developers of master planned communities want to maintain the quality of their community well into the future so the land planning, amenities, selection of home builders and pricing are all very important.

Consider the following benefits:

Architectural integrity. A planned community establishes master architectural guidelines for all the homes in the development. Unlike other areas of Panama where zoning doesn’t exist or land uses are broad, a master planned community assures you that the project is well designed and homes complement each other. These guidelines allow for individuality, but protects the integrity of the project. Do you really want to live somewhere where you don’t know what future plans your neighbor has for his property?

Life-enhancing amenities. The Lifestyle Collection offered by Prima Panama include a variety of factors that can enhance the quality of life and provide everyday convenience for residents. Specific elements are selected according to the nature of the community and may include pools, tennis courts, hiking and biking trails, recreation centers, golf courses, spas, clubhouses and other amenities. Good planning also takes into consideration views and the preservation of natural open space.

As an example, the Vista Mar Resort, located approximately 60-minutes by modern highway from Panama City, offers spectacular ocean and beach views combined with a golf course planned for the future. In contrast, the Tucan Country Club and Resort, surrounded by lush forests, is just minutes away from downtown Panama City and offers a relaxed resort lifestyle highlighted by a golf course, walking trails, acres of open space and incredible views of the city and the Panama Canal. These are just two examples. All of our Lifestyle Collection members offer a wealth of amenities, recreational activities and life enhancing conveniences that add value to your property investment.

Security. Every member of our Lifestyle Collections offers round the clock security services and monitors the traffic coming into the community very closely. This adds an additional layer of protection for you and your property.

Investing in your future. While no one can guarantee that your home will increase in value, master planned communities typically maintain their value very well. The homes in planned communities usually see considerable appreciation due to the fact that they are seen as more desirable places to live. Homeowners' association dues are truly an investment in your future and contribute to the maintenance of community landscaping, pools, recreation centers and other common area amenities. As the years pass, the homeowners association will be able to refresh and renovate amenities as needed so the community will maintain its level of quality and desirability.

In addition to these factors, there are the intangible benefits such as the strong sense of "community" in a planned residential environment. A pool or recreation center is often a hub of activity, giving neighbors an opportunity to plan active adventures together. This sense of “community” is very important, particularly in an area where you may not know many people. The opportunity to meet people with similar interests and sharing common experiences can be very helpful in making the transition to a new country.
