Casa Jardin Secreto

"Because our city has consistently topped the ‘Best Cities in the World’ lists in Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines for the past few years, we see this destination market continuing to increase in popularity. Our typical luxury buyers are investors looking for properties to take advantage of the lucrative vacation rental market, or shopping for their second or third vacation homes.

In the past 5 years, we’ve seen more younger couples moving to San Miguel de Allende to raise their families or telecommute to enjoy the diverse and culturally rich community. One of our largest group of buyers are Americans and Mexican nationals who are choosing to retire in San Miguel de Allende for several reasons -- the lower cost of ownership, cultural activities and opportunities for community involvement, the excitement of living in a walking city filled with festivals, art and design events and the growing gastronomy industry in the city."
