Rinconada

Rinconada is the leafy residential and expat district on the west side of town, set back from the surf above the sheltered Carrizalillo cove, a postcard swimming-and-snorkeling beach reached by a famous staircase. It blends full-time expat homes, gated condos, and a calmer pace with easy access to restaurants and beaches. For investors, Rinconada balances livability with returns: it appreciated in line with the market at 8-12%, with gross yields of 7-10% on a mix of vacation and long-term rentals. Pricing favors condos and villas, generally below the beachfront strip. As coastal Restricted-Zone property, foreign buyers use a fideicomiso. Its calm, established character and Carrizalillo proximity make it a favorite for residents and steadier rental product.
