A practical buyer’s guide
Buying a home at Paloma Village.
A quieter Cabo routine starts with understanding the details. Here’s what to explore, what to ask, and how to plan a visit before deciding whether a home here is right for you.
Start with the community.
Paloma Village is an adults-only residential community for ages 18 and over in El Tezal, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Mature gardens, paths between the homes, a shared pool, and a palapa gathering area are part of everyday life here. Many homes have rooftop terraces with views toward the ocean.
A visit is a chance to look beyond the listing photos. Walk the paths, see the shared spaces, and spend time in the home itself. Think about how the layout, outdoor areas, and surrounding neighborhood would work for your own routine. Explore the village for a closer look at the setting.
Your own home. A community to enjoy.
Buying at Paloma Village is an opportunity to make a home in an established Cabo community, with mature gardens, a shared pool, and room to enjoy life outdoors. You purchase the home itself, while the homesite is held through a land lease.
The home purchase and the land lease are separate parts of the arrangement. Your budget includes the purchase price, a continuing land-lease payment, and everyday expenses such as utilities and yard maintenance. Any owner financing for the home is separate from the land payment.
As you explore a home, the seller can share the details that help you picture life here:
- What comes with the home, including furnishings and appliances.
- The current land-lease payment and how annual increases work.
- The lease term, renewal arrangements, and conditions for a future sale.
- The community rules and use of shared spaces.
Review the current figures and written terms for the home you choose with the seller and your own adviser. Knowing the details helps you plan confidently and focus on what draws you here: a place of your own and a more relaxed Cabo routine.
Everyday essentials, comfortably in place.
Life at Paloma Village comes with established utility connections and straightforward arrangements for the everyday essentials, leaving more room to enjoy your home and the Cabo lifestyle.
- Yard care: Yard maintenance is up to you as the homeowner, with a reasonable monthly cost to keep your outdoor space looking its best.

- Electricity: CFE service is already set up for each Paloma Village lot. As the land lessee, you pay the electricity bill every two months.
- Internet: High-speed fiber-optic internet is offered through Telmex, making it easy to stay connected from your Cabo home.
For a closer picture of life in a particular home, ask the seller about recent utility bills and their yard-care arrangements.

A current listing to explore
Casa #8: a starting point for your questions.
Casa #8 is listed at US$145,000, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a private rooftop terrace. The listing advertises owner financing with one-third down and the balance paid over up to two years.
Its listing also describes the land-lease payment, annual increases, and resident expenses. These details relate to this home. Confirm the current availability, figures, and full terms with the seller rather than assuming they apply to every home in the community.
See Casa #8 and its expense details →Ask how owner financing would work.
Financing can affect both the amount you need up front and your ongoing commitments. If you are considering the arrangement advertised for Casa #8, request a written breakdown of the down payment, payment schedule, interest or other charges, and the total amount payable.
Ask who will prepare and review the agreement, what happens if a payment is late, and whether early repayment is possible. Confirm the payment currency and how payments are recorded. The home financing and the land lease are separate arrangements, so review both before making your decision.
Use your viewing well.
Bring a short list of priorities and give yourself time to look at the practical details. Photos can show the atmosphere, but a viewing helps you judge the space, access, condition, and comfort for yourself.
- Check the rooms, storage, steps, and rooftop access.
- Ask about recent maintenance and any work the seller knows is needed.
- Confirm which furnishings and appliances would stay.
- Ask for the current community rules, including rules for guests, pets, and any intended rental use.
- Request the lease, expense information, and proposed sale terms to review afterward.
There is no need to settle every question during the visit. Take notes, request missing information, and review it before deciding on a next step.
Arrange a conversation before you travel.
Send the name of the home that interests you, your preferred visit dates, and the main questions you would like answered. If you are still comparing options, say whether you are thinking about a full-time home or a place for part of the year. That helps make the conversation useful from the start.
