Key residential and investment profiles attracted to the area
Trophy Estate Hunters
$2M–$7M standalone villas in Conchas Chinas — privacy, square footage, and the view that justifies all of it.

Guadalajara weekenders, increasingly active since the vía corta cut the drive under three hours.
Yelapa Bohemians
