North America is a continent in the Earth's northern hemisphere and (chiefly) western hemisphere. It is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea, and on the south and west by the North Pacific Ocean; South America lies to the southeast, connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama. It covers an area of about 24,490,000 square kilometres (9,450,000 sq mi), about 4.8 percent of the planet's surface or about 16.4% of its land area.
Investing in land is one of the oldest and most stable forms of building wealth, with demand increasing as populations grow, especially in growing urban or suburban areas in North America.
Undeveloped or raw land also often appreciates due to infrastructure development, zoning changes, or economic expansion nearby.
With planning permission, if required, land in North America can be developed with homes, apartments, commercial buildings, farms, or even renewable energy projects, and buying land in upcoming development zones can boost profits as construction demand rises.
Land doesn't require upkeep, repairs, or management, and property taxes and or insurance come much lower than for developed real estate.
Land can be handed down through generations as an investment, while maintaining or increasing in value over decades, and many wealthy families use land ownership to preserve long-term wealth and build generational assets.
