If you’ve been daydreaming about swapping city traffic for sea breezes, it’s time to explore what your dollars can do in Los Cabos.
Specifically, let’s look at what you can snag with a $700,000 budget right now. Why $700,000?
It’s a ballpark benchmark inspired by the median starter home price in Los Angeles—$615,000—rounded up to reflect the real-world costs of moving abroad and going for something truly special.
More Americans and Canadians are turning to Baja Sur for better weather, lower costs, and a lifestyle that blends modern amenities with coastal charm. Whether you’re chasing winter sun, retirement dreams, or a smart second-home investment, Los Cabos offers a range of neighborhoods and property styles to fit the bill.
