Sunday morning the cyclists of Playacar II circuit Avenida Xaman-Ha past The Leaf's gatehouse, the gardener of the central park trims the hibiscus border, and the doorman waves at the families heading to the golf clubhouse for brunch. The community at this hour reads as the controlled, gated residential side of Playa del Carmen the residents who chose Playacar II deliberately came for.
Playacar Phase II is the gated residential community south of Quinta Avenida in Playa del Carmen, anchored by the Robert von Hagge-designed Playacar Golf Club and the beach corridor of Playacar Beach. The community includes the international school of Playacar, restaurants, and a controlled-access lifestyle distinct from the Hotel Zone density of central PDC.
Inside The Leaf, the project reads as a large gated-community residential condominium — one hundred sixty-nine residences arranged across a master-planned community with multiple pools, gym, sports courts, kids club, and the controlled access expected in Playacar. Each one-bedroom unit spans 650 square feet with full-height openings to a balcony, materials honest — wood, stone, glass.
Immediate delivery. Pricing from $195,000 USD for an entry one-bedroom. With 72 of 169 units still available, The Leaf sits at the gated-community entry-tier end of Playacar II's residential market.
Playacar is Playa del Carmen's original master-planned gated community, built in the early 1990s as one of the Riviera Maya's first luxury residential projects. It sits directly south of 5th Avenue with private beach access and the Playacar Golf Club. Two phases: Phase I (adjacent to Playa del Carmen Centro, mostly hotels) and Phase II (residential, where most homes for sale are located). The appeal is maturity: manicured streets, established restaurants, strong resale history, and a quiet residential feel rare in central Playa del Carmen. Expect premium pricing vs new construction outside Playacar, justified by the stability and infrastructure.
The Leaf Condos Playacar is a large boutique-density opportunity in Playa del Carmen's Playacar II corridor — a 169-unit residential project with 72 of 169 still available, a 6% broker commission, and pricing from $195K USD for an entry one-bedroom that puts it at one of the most accessible price points in the consolidated Playacar gated community. The Playacar Phase II gated community is anchored by the Robert von Hagge-designed golf course and the beach corridor of Playacar. For Canadian and US buyers seeking gated-community ownership in Playa del Carmen's most consolidated golf-residential corridor, Mexico Luxury Properties presents The Leaf as a defining current-market opportunity.
