El Tezal

El Tezal is Cabo's best-kept secret for full-time residents. Just five minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas and the start of the Corridor, this residential neighborhood offers the best value proposition in the greater Cabo area. Prices range from $159,000 for entry-level condos to $2.5 million for premium homes -- significantly below what comparable properties cost in beachfront or resort communities. The neighborhood has a genuine residential feel that sets it apart from tourist-oriented areas. A growing mix of Mexican and international residents creates a real community atmosphere, with gated sub-communities offering ocean views, new construction, and established neighborhoods. El Tezal's commercial infrastructure is expanding rapidly, with new restaurants, shops, and services catering to the growing full-time population. For buyers who want to live in Cabo year-round without paying resort premiums, El Tezal delivers. Typical two-bedroom condos run $271,000-$380,000, and three-bedroom homes in gated communities start around $795,000. It is the most popular neighborhood among full-time expat residents who prioritize everyday livability over vacation-home flash.
