Puerto Vallarta Centro holds the waterfront promenade, municipal buildings, and landmarks like the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Markets, galleries, and street performers animate the Malecón by day; plazas and bars carry the energy into the night.
Housing mixes older walk-ups, small hotels, and commercial/residential flats above shops. Short-term rentals operate on many blocks; pricing and noise vary with distance from the Malecón and the Río Cuale bridge.
Pressure points: festival crowds, vendor rules, trash and pickup schedules, parking scarcity, and construction on narrow streets. Good lighting, clear closures, and organized transport keep the core livable for residents and workable for businesses.
Our coverage follows housing and permits, the local economy, public safety, events, and mobility—so readers see what’s really changing and why.
