Live Real del Mar: Tijuana's new luxury residential landmark just 30 minutes from San Diego 🇺🇸

Just 30 minutes from San Diego, the Baja California coast is writing a new chapter for those looking for investment properties in Tijuana that combine value, privacy and a lifestyle reminiscent of benchmark destinations such as Santa Barbara, Palm Springs or Rancho Santa Fe, but with an incomparable advantage: better costs per square meter and a simplified purchase process for North American buyers.

Real del Mar, a resort-residential development with more than 30 years of prestige, now presents two of its most iconic projects: Candé and The Estates. Two distinct but complementary concepts within a master-planned community that offers uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, the 18-hole golf course and the Coronado Islands.

🇺🇸🇲🇽Privileged location to cross borders (literally)

Located at km 19.5 of the Tijuana - Ensenada scenic highway, Real del Mar enjoys a unique location:

• Only 20 minutes from the San Ysidro International Gateway.
• 10 minutes from Playas de Tijuana
• 10 minutes from Rosarito
• 5 minutes from the Metropolitan Convention Center
• 60 minutes from Ensenada and the Wine Route

This location is perfect for buyers from San Diego, Los Angeles and throughout Southern California looking for a second home, retirement or vacation rental investment in Baja.

🌊 Candé: coastal luxury, endless views and premium design

Candé is a horizontal and vertical residential project that fuses the essence of California style with European elegance and Mexican warmth. Designed for those who value thoughtful architecture and an intimate relationship with the coastal landscape, Candé offers:

37 residential lots of 550 m² each for villa-style homes with private terraces, independent accesses and outdoor spaces designed to take advantage of the topography and views.

3 vertical towers, each with 6 levels, housing luxury apartments with 1 to 3 bedroom layouts, spacious balconies and the option of a private Jacuzzi. Each floor has only 3 units for maximum privacy:

• Units in extremes: 2 bedrooms, ocean and golf course views.
• Central unit: 1 bedroom + flexible area (studio).

Terraces and private amenities: Each terrace is intended as an extension of the living room, with space for outdoor dining, lounge and optional Jacuzzi. The tiered design ensures unobstructed views from any unit.

Architectural details: Candé responds to the Santa Barbara and Palm Springs style, with facades in earth tones, tile roofs, stone walls, wood and steel. The interiors mix natural textures such as stone, beige plaster, wood floors, woodwork in warm tones and wrought iron details.

🏌 Premium amenities within the Real del Mar master plan:

• Direct access to the 18-hole golf course
• First class equestrian club to practice horseback riding.
• Gourmet restaurants within the complex
• Spa and boutique hotel (under development)
• Tennis courts, hiking and cycling trails
• Uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, valleys and canyons

Security and privacy: Entrance gate with double entry/exit for residents, visitors and suppliers; surveillance circuit and controlled access.

Comparative advantage: An ocean view condo starts at $405K USD, while in similar California enclaves such as Del Mar or Encinitas, similar prices start at $1M+ USD.

🌿 The Estates: ranch living with the soul of Rancho Santa Fe

For those who dream of a low-density retreat, large lots and a life connected to nature without sacrificing luxury amenities, The Estates is the jewel of Real del Mar.

123 ranch-style lots, each with an average of 2,000 m² (21,500 sq ft). Ample space to build 2 to 4 bedroom homes, with a maximum allowable setback of only 25-30% to preserve green areas, private gardens, terraces and interior patios.

Architectural design inspired by the Californian-rustic style: Materials such as natural stone, quarry, wood and black steel details create a timeless, sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere. Santiago Cuaik's architecture (a reference in the region) reinforces the feeling of living in a unique residence, with clean lines and high-end finishes.

Guaranteed views: Each lot and home is designed to take advantage of the topography, staggering levels and orienting all windows and terraces towards the ocean, the golf course or the valleys surrounding the community.

🏇🏻 Resort-style amenities:

• Equestrian club with stables and training arenas
• International standard 18-hole golf course
• Boutique spa and hotel within the master plan
• Gourmet restaurant, convenience store and social club
• Tennis and pickleball courts
• Access to the Wine Route only 60 minutes away.

Direct comparison:

• Average price: $892K - $1.05M USD
• Rancho Santa Fe: similar lands exceed $4M-$6M USD
• Same quality of life, greater freedom, lower density.

Friendly purchasing process for foreigners:

• Title to property through Mexican bank trust
• No residency or work visa required
• Personalized legal and tax advice
• Private financing available in selected phases
