Why San Felipe

Perfect weather year round, beach front property, luxury living, champion golf courses, world class fishing, the list goes on and on. San Felipe is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Its location provides quick and easy access to a wide population of tourism.

Location

San Felipe is currently less than a seven hour drive for over 38 million residents in Southern California. Economic predictions say this number will grow to over 48 million by the year 2020. As the population continues to increase in this area and expand from the Inland Empire to the Palm Springs area, tourism to San Felipe will grow considerably as more people search for a peaceful beach town destination. 

Market Timing

The San Felipe population has recently surpassed 25,000 (including foreign residents) as this seaside community is attracting those looking for an enjoyable place to retire. The past three years have brought a major increase in foreign retirees who are cashing out on their property investments and then building magnificent beachfront homes in San Felipe.

In addition, the Mexican government has stated that it aims to double the number of foreign tourist arrivals into Mexico, representing foreign exchange revenue of $5 billion plus annually. The combination of a rapidly improving economy and a stable, profitable base foretell an excellent ongoing investment environment. Currently, over 1,000,000 Americans own property in Mexico.

Surge in Real Estate Development

The 1990's brought several land developers who saw potential in the beachfront capabilities of San Felipe. As these developers began their projects, the economy began to surge and San Felipe began its journey to becoming a tourism hotspot.  

Rapidly Growing Mexican Infastructure

San Felipe real estate and tourism is rapidly developing due to the recent funding by the Mexican National Trust Fund for Tourism Development. Known as Fonatur, this is the same organization that funded the development of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan and Cabos San Lucas. Current projects include upgrading the airport, marina, celluar towers, phone, electricity, sewer, water and widening the highway between the border and San Felipe into four lanes.
