Los Cabos, Baja California Sur
San José del Cabo
The colonial and cultural side of Los Cabos
San José del Cabo has what the Corridor will never have: a historic center. The cobblestone streets around Plaza Mijares, the art galleries, the independent restaurants, and the 1730 mission church form an urban context that cannot be replicated in any new development. For buyers who want a city that is actually inhabited, San José offers something distinct from the rest of Los Cabos.
The San José residential market ranges from properties within the historic center to gated communities along the Estero, to signature-architecture developments at the city's edges. It is also the cultural center of the region: the San José Art District organizes events every Thursday during the high season.

The buyer
Who is this area for?
The San José del Cabo buyer wants a city, not a resort. They are interested in neighborhood life, local gastronomy, and cultural activity. They are often full-time or semi-permanent residents, more integrated into local life than the typical Corridor buyer.
