The Neighborhood of West Ajijic and it’s Gated Communities

Puerta Arroyo, Arroyo Alto, Los Sabinos and La Reserva are four separate communities built by Interlago Group.  
Winding cobblestone streets and bougainvillea covered walls set the scene in all these communities creating that “ vacation” feel.
All four communities are gated 24/7 offering a high level of security for all its residents with total lock and go peace of mind for seasonal residents and travelers.

Each of the four communities share similar architectural details though only La Reserva offers two-story homes.  The developer has used high-end finishings in all the homes including beautiful brick boveda ceilings, granite countertops in the kitchen and marble in the bathrooms.

Most homes are somewhat larger with beautiful views and some with private pools. Price points will range from the mid $300K USD up to the mid $700K USD.

Los Sabinos and Puerta Arroyo are very similar in style and price points range from approximately $200K USD to mid $400K USD. All homes offer high end finishings in a variety of styles and sizes. Although some homes have private pools both communities enjoy a beautiful common area with a well-equipped clubhouse, gym and large heated pool.

La Reserva offers a mix of single and two story homes and some with rooftop terraces.  The sales prices usually range in the $300K’s USD. While La Reserva does not have a common area, residents do have the right to join the fabulous Yacht Club adjacent to the property.

Fees and HOA what is covered?

Fees varies from the Home Owner
associations but are approximately $100 to $120 USD a month.  This includes: garbage collection, gate
security, maintenance of common areas and street lighting.  Both Los Sabinos and Puerta Arroyo include a Club
House and pool.
