Hi There!
I consulted 6 developments around Fortaleza, to my surprise 4 are completely sold out, and the only two that still have units left are supposed to be ready by mid 2011! The construction company seems to be very good and I liked the apart. designs (3 bedroom, around 100m2, 175,000 Dollars). I will not reserve without seeing the place (1 in Cumbuco, 1 in Porto das Dunas). To tell the true, it doesn’t seems to be a great value, at the end, the land under my feet belongs as well to whomever lives above or below me. But I will check when there a couple of months from now. If we like it… I’m curious if anyone knows the minimum distance allowed for a construction. The ad says 50 mts from the beach, and it really looks like just few steps when I checked the pictures.
Actually, I don’t personally like beach front, just a walking distance is ok. My sister has a house in the South, things get rusted (car, fridge,…) after a while. One of the developments I saw has lifts for just a couple of floors; just to add maintenance costs…
My plan B (or C) would be to buy a couple of land plots, so I can build a house in one (just nice, not fancy would be ok) and use the second land plot for my hobby, gardening/landscape, best of the worlds, beach and gardening (the other one my wife doesn't allows...
) . I saw a couple that were either very far from the Fortaleza/Natal or didn’t have on site security & maintenance. And condominium with a dozen houses just mean high monthly fees for something that will stay closed 10 months a year. It will take longer than I was expecting to find just the right thing.
Back to the question, anyone knows the allowed distance from the beach… Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I haven't checked RN yet, but I will later on.
