Cabo San Lucas Real Estate
A luxury travel destination on the southern tip of the Baja California Sur
Welcome to Cabo San Lucas
Perched on the very tip of the Baja California Sur, Mexico, Cabo San Lucas is a stunning display of luxury resorts, clubs, and dazzling beaches. A historic rocky headland off the coast frames the city with an iconic and photogenic natural archway, ideal for any summer beach getaway.
Inhabited by hunter-gatherers called the Pericu until Spanish colonial settlers founded Cabo San Lucas in 1788, this location has gone through many iterations. At first a small beach town, Cabo San Lucas came into its own in the 1900s when an American company settled on its shores. However, it wasn’t until the mid-late 1900s that Cabo San Lucas became the vacation haven that we recognize today, due in part to a post-World War II boom and the development of the Mexican Federal Highway.
Fast forward to today, and Cabo San Lucas is one of the top five travel destinations in all of Mexico. Replete with world-famous clubs, resorts, and other acclaimed destinations, the architecture of Cabo harkens back to old-world Europe with authentic Spanish Colonial and Mission buildings as well as more modern, innovative styles, as is the case with the JW Marriott Beach Resort and Spa. Between the competitive housing market and gorgeous local color, Cabo San Lucas real estate appeals to many American ex-pats and others seeking a laid-back, deluxe community.
