Best Neighborhoods for Wealthy Americans in Cabo
Best neighborhoods to live in Los Cabos with ocean view luxury homes and golf courses

Choosing where to live in Los Cabos is the most important decision you will make here. Every neighborhood has its own personality: some are built around a private golf club, others around a marina, a swimmable beach or the energy of downtown Cabo San Lucas. Prices change a lot too, from condos under $400,000 to oceanfront estates near $30 million.

We help buyers from California, Texas and Arizona make this decision every week. So we compared the 8 neighborhoods our clients ask about most, using real active listings from the Los Cabos MLS, not guesses: Pedregal, Club Campestre, Quivira, Puerto Los Cabos, Palmilla, Querencia, Cabo del Sol and Cabo Real.

✅ How to Choose the Right Neighborhood

  • How will you use it? Full-time living, winters, vacations or rental income all point to different places.
  • Golf: do you want private club golf, or just a course nearby?
  • Beach: do you need to swim, or is the ocean view enough?
  • Town: do you want quiet, or restaurants and nightlife close by?
  • Build or buy: building gives you more control, buying gets you in faster.
