Annual HOA fees vary by lot size and development status to cover 24/7 security, street care, and water infrastructure. Ownership grants convenient access to the Pedregal beach on the Pacific side and to the tennis/pickleball courts. Owners in Pedregal may join the Mountain Club which offers gym facilities and spa services.
Buyers can purchase resale lots and custom-build homes in diverse architectural styles rather than being restricted to uniform designs. Nonetheless, strict rules are heavily enforced to protect neighbors’ views. Buyers must plan for the higher construction costs associated with the steep, rocky terrain in Pedregal.
Pedregal is a highly rental-friendly community and one of the highest-grossing vacation rental neighborhoods due to its close proximity to the downtown area. However, the Homeowners Association strictly enforces regulations regarding noise, trash, and guest registration to preserve neighborhood harmony.
The Marina side provides views of the marina and downtown lights, offering easier walkability to local nightlife and dining. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean side offers secluded, dramatic sunset views and stronger ocean breezes.
Pedregal addresses regional water scarcity by operating its own private desalination plant. This infrastructure ensures a constant, private supply of running water directly to its properties.
Real Estate sales in the Pedregal Community throughout 2024 and 2025, as reported on MLS, resulted in 30 sales with an average ocean view home price of $3.20m USD. Prices ranged from a low of $0.97m USD to a high of $9.83m USD, with an average value of $640 USD per square foot of air-conditioned interior space.
Many celebrities from acting, sports, music and business fame own homes in Los Cabos. There is no map to the stars or tours of celebrity neighborhoods like there is in greater Hollywood. Paparazzi is almost non-existent here. Celebrities value their privacy and security and are able to find peace and tranquility on one of the Luxury Communities here.
Some of the consistently most expensive places in Mexico are:
- Los Cabos (Baja California Sur): This area, particularly Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, is often cited as the most expensive, especially for housing and hotel rates, due to its status as a luxury tourist destination popular with international buyers.
- Mexico City: As the capital and largest city, it naturally has high costs, especially in upscale neighborhoods like Polanco, Lomas de Chapultepec, and Bosques de las Lomas, where real estate prices per square meter are among the highest in Latin America.
- Monterrey (Nuevo León): Known as a major business hub, Monterrey (especially the Del Valle neighborhood) also ranks very high for housing and overall cost of living.
- Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco): This popular coastal tourist destination is frequently listed among the most expensive cities for rent and overall living, especially for expats and tourists.
- Cancun (Quintana Roo): Another major tourist destination, Cancun, also has a high cost of living, particularly in its resort areas.
The Luxury Club Communities predominantly along the ocean side of the corridor tend to attract the wealthiest people due to their amazing properties, incredible amenities, exclusivity, privacy and security
There are a number of great areas to live in Los Cabos. Which area is better will depend on what someone will look for in an area including price point and amenities. Often luxury communities like Pedregal, the Hollywood Hills of Cabo or Palmilla, the Beverly Hills of Cabo and El Dorado are mentioned as the best areas. Newer luxury communities like Querencia, The Cove Club, Chileno Bay, Maravilla, Diamante and Quivira are also great places to live. More budget conscious buyers will find numerous enclaves in the El Tezal area of the Cabo Corridor as great options.
