The Evolution of Housing: Choosing the Best Option
Human life is in constant evolution, and our needs
change according to the times we live in, as do the ways we satisfy these needs. Having a place to live is a fundamental necessity, yet the way we conceive our homes has also evolved.
With changes in lifestyle, most people now live in urban or suburban areas, limiting the space available for housing development. To address this issue, two main solutions have emerged:
- Suburbs – Residential neighborhoods located far from urban centers.
- Vertical housing – Residential apartments built in areas close to the city's urban core.
As we explained in our blog on how to buy a house, these are the two main options available. However, today, we want to highlight the advantages of living in apartments in Puerto Vallarta, particularly those developed by GOVACASA.

According to the latest population census conducted by INEGI, 8 out of 10 Mexicans live in cities, meaning that more people are sharing less space. Building upward instead of outward is a smart way to distribute urban populations without expanding urban sprawl or harming the surrounding environment.
However, beyond space efficiency, apartment living offers several other advantages:
-
Lower expenses in the long run While buying property in an urban area may seem more expensive initially, it often leads to long-term savings. With closer access to workplaces, schools, recreational facilities, and commercial areas, transportation costs are significantly reduced.
-
Better quality of life Living in the city allows people to satisfy material, psychological, social, and economic needs more easily by being near essential services and amenities. This proximity can contribute to overall happiness and well-being.
-
More efficient spaces Vertical housing is designed to maximize every square meter. Architects and designers ensure that each area within an apartment serves a specific function, optimizing space usage for comfort and convenience.
-
Reliable access to basic services Apartments often have easier access to essential utilities such as water, gas, electricity, and internet. Additionally, vertical housing developments tend to increase in value more efficiently than standalone homes.
-
Common areas and community living Modern apartment complexes are designed with integrated community living in mind. They often include gardens, recreational spaces, wellness centers, and communal gathering areas, fostering a sense of community and enhancing security.
Living in an apartment offers practicality, efficiency, and an improved urban lifestyle—factors worth considering when choosing your next home.
