The Communities and Developments Close to San Juan Del Sur
We get a lot of questions from people looking to buy property in San Juan Del Sur about the various communities, neighborhoods and developments. Most of the homes that foreign buyers are looking for are located within gated communities. Most, however, are not like what you might think of as a gated community in Canada or the United States.
They are not like country clubs. Gated communities here are just normal neighborhoods. Family friendly and also ideal for rentals. They are generally more desirable than unplanned municipal zones. Here a gated community usually just means that it's a planned development with some shared amenities between the homeowners of the association.
The communities and what they offer varies. However there are some commonalities.
Most include security at the gate, private water well systems, shared road maintenance and basic common area maintenance. Unless otherwise mentioned all the communities include at least these items.
Monthly homeowners association fees vary depending on the community and the services offered. In this article I'll go over the current fees and what is included in each of these communities. The fees in most communities vary between $65 and $110 per month.
A few have more perks like shared pools, gyms and clubhouses. Fees for those communities are higher, and can be substantially higher. They are detailed below.
The water well systems usually are a drilled well with lower tanks and a pump system that transports the water to the highest point in the community. Then that water gravity feeds back down to the homes.
This is a ideal here in San Juan Del Sur as the municipal water system often undergoes repairs and city water service can be intermittent. In the communities there are usually very reasonable metered water rates based on cubic meter usage per month in order to help preserve aquifers.
Most developments also have rules regulating things like restrictions on excessive noise and building heights to prevent new construction from blocking the view of existing homes. Some have design requirements on new builds to promote quality construction.
There are an extensive number of communities and small developments. San Juan Del Sur has become an extremely popular destination for expatriates moving abroad. The community is a big part of that. So are the many beaches and the cost of living. You can see all the articles and videos below or over in the blog.
If you are planning on having kids attend the school in San Juan Del Sur you’ll likely want to be closer to town. For people working remotely there are more and higher velocity internet options closer to town.
Many of the beaches without planned communities have some great homes. However most of those are not in associations. You can check out the video and article on beaches and then contact me if you're looking for a beach home. My subsequent article and video will be on the communities to the south, many closer to the beaches.
For brevity in this video I will go over the ones that are most popular with the expatriate community and have the most homes and lots available.
