Tour of La Paz Centro Neighborhoods and our La Paz Visitor's Guide

Hi Friend,

November is here, it's the start of the Fall/Winter season, and we are happy to be welcoming our seasonal visitors, friends and neighbors back to La Paz. This is a time of year when the social scene starts to buzz again, tours to our famous local attractions like the whale sharks and the sea lion colony at Espíritu Santo are starting up, and the malecón downtown begins to hum with life after the long hot summer. The real estate market is also in full swing again, new listings are beginning to come on the market and folks are busy scheduling their househunting trips here to see if our little slice of paradise is right for them. If you are planning a trip to La Paz soon, be sure to check out our Visitor's Guide below to help you prepare.

Interest in the new master-planned community of Villas del Centenario, featuring ocean view homes in the hills of El Centenario, is growing, with 14 lots now under contract. There has been a lot of work on the community behind the scenes to get the Neighborhood Association approved, the subdivision registered, the lot map updated and internal roads marked out, among other things. See the link to the full story below.

Our friend and local La Paz resident Brighton West has been creating a series of videos about La Paz area neighborhoods. Last month, we brought you a tour of El Centenario neighborhoods. This month, the latest in the series offers a video tour of downtown La Paz, featuring Baja Life Realty's own Ian Wilson, who takes us on a tour of the different neighborhoods in the La Paz Centro area.

We hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter, and we welcome our seasonal residents and visitors back in La Paz. As always, contact us with any questions, or just drop us a line to let us know if you're planning a trip to La Paz. We'd love to help you make the most of your visit.

Regards,
Jim & Rebecca MacDonald

14 lots are now under contract in this new master-planned community of ocean view homes located in the hills of El Centenario, and the developer's presale pricing, which provides discounts on lot reservations from 10-20%, will end on November 15th, 2021. Base prices on homes will also increase at that time due to recent increases in materials costs, so don't miss this last opportunity to lock in your presale discounts. Six floor plans are available to build on the spacious 1,500m2+ ocean view lots, which can be reserved with a 50% deposit on the lot premium. The first homes are scheduled to break ground in early 2022. To see the updated lot map and download an overview brochure with base home pricing, follow the links below.

Useful Spanish
Each month, we'll bring you a useful Spanish phrase or tip to help get you started speaking like a local.

When you spend time here in La Paz, one of the first things you will notice is the friendliness of the local residents, so you will want to know how to say hello. "Hola" (OH-lah) is informal, the equivalent of "Hi" in English and is usually followed by one of the following more formal greetings, which vary according to the time of day. If it's before noon, you say "Buenos días" (BWEH-nos DEE-ahs); if it's after noon, you'll say "Buenas tardes" (BWEH-nahs TAR-dehs), and after sunset, "Buenas noches" (BWEH-nahs NOH-chehs). And when you are meeting someone for the first time, it's also polite to say "Mucho Gusto" (MOO-choh GOOS-toh)! It means "Nice to meet you!"

"Our experience with the Baja Life Realty team was great, and it started months before we met them. As we started our Internet search to find a home and a realty team, they were fast to respond and provide the information we asked for. The sales process was awesome and the after sales support is incredible. They didn’t just help us buy a home, they helped us with knowledge and referrals for contractors, utility setup and so much more. Best real estate experience, 11 out of 10!" — Gary & Daphne
