North Shore Real Estate

One of the fast-growing areas of the bay is the region between La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and Punta de Mita, often referred to as the “North Shore” (Costa Norte), since it’s the north shore of Banderas Bay. It includes a number of new developments, as well as a few established ones, on a fantastic stretch of sandy beaches and coves. While some areas offer beachfront, others provide oceanfront or ocean-view, with numerous options for a luxurious but laid-back lifestyle.

Development here has been mostly high-end luxury homes and, most recently, some larger condominium developments. The only urban areas are at the point of Punta de Mita, where the towns of El Corral del Risco and Emiliano Zapata (also known as El Anclote) are located. There are a few small condominium projects along the beach here, with reasonably priced homes and lots situated behind.
