Los Barriles The Baja Lifestyle

by Luis Acosta Remexico Real Estate

Welcome to my blog!

Today I will be talking about Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, and if you are wondering ¿Whats Los Barriles?

Barriles Baja California Sur

Well let me tell you.

Los Barriles is a small beach town 1 hr away from San Jose del Cabo on the East Cape side, basically you have the Sea of Cortez for a playground.

This means that you have endless water activities, from regular swimming, snorkeling, sportfishing, kite surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just relaxing at the beach.

Los Barriles is in the municipality of La Paz, this means that La Paz city, (which is the capital of the state) is the one in charge of the services in the area such as water and electricity, for the most part.

Location Baja Sur

But still, Los Barriles is actually closer to San José del Cabo which is nice if you fly into Mexico internationally, since La Paz airport is not international.

Life at Los Barriles feels like the old times when Baja wasn't as populated as today, slow paced and tranquil.

But don't be fooled, here you can do nothing or all of it. You have a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, pickleball courts, mountain biking, endless water activities, off-roading, and nearby waterfalls.

Los Barriles and Buenavista are in the top retirement destinations of Baja for its way of life, the magnificent beach, the sense of community among expats, and the local people.

Now if we talk about Real Estate, Los Barriles has experienced a significant growth from 2020 to today, about 25% more Real Estate opportunities than in previous years.

What type of properties can you purchase in the Los Barriles and Buenavista area?

CONDOS

If a house may be bigger than you need, then a condo is the perfect solution, for reference, the last 3 years more condos in the East Cape have been built, and it's practically for the need of housing, without having the hassle of actually manage a whole house, it's just easier to deal with, plus you probably have an HOA that can help you with things around the condo.

Condos are the perfect solution for seasonal residents, you can rent your condo while you´re not here, or not and the maintenance is going to be way easier than a house, and you usually have some amenities in condos, like a pool and rooftop area, which is really nice.
