Pedregal de La Paz is a gated hillside community above Caimancito Beach, off the Carretera a Pichilingue -- and it's widely considered La Paz's most exclusive address. This isn't a neighborhood in the usual sense of a mix of properties along public streets; it's a fully self-contained, privately managed development with its own desalination water plant, underground utilities, 24/7 security, and Club Pedregal, the on-site tennis, pickleball, soccer, and gym facility.
Market snapshot: lots inside Pedregal typically run $250,000 to $900,000, though a handful of large, multi-lot developer parcels list well into the millions -- worth knowing about, but not representative of what a typical buyer pays for a single homesite. Finished homes span a wide range, from around $730,000 up to $5.9 million for the largest hillside estates. Condos, in developments like Pentgarden Naute and Serena, run $599,000 to $860,000.
Pedregal draws a different buyer than most of La Paz's other high-end options. Compared to Puerta Cortés at Marina CostaBaja -- a resort community built around a marina, golf course, and hotel -- Pedregal is quieter and more residential: private, security-focused, and centered on the community's own amenities rather than a marina or golf lifestyle. It's a fit for buyers who want privacy, panoramic Sea of Cortez views, and full control over a custom home, without resort-style public-facing infrastructure.
The foreign-buyer basics are the same as anywhere in La Paz: fideicomiso for the trust structure, and roughly 5-6% of the purchase price in closing costs -- I've written that up in detail if you want the full breakdown. Worth budgeting for ongoing costs too: predial, CFE, and HOA-style community fees all apply here -- I've laid out what annual ownership actually costs if you want to plan ahead.
