As US homebuyers are in search of a change outside of the country, the lifestyle in Mexico’s hidden gem, San Miguel de Allende, happens to be more than tempting. It is no secret why this city was named #1 Small City in the World an unprecedented five times by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure magazines. It can be a challenge finding any global destination that combines rich history with luxury living quite like San Miguel de Allende which has American house hunters swooping in, even more so post-pandemic. The UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site of San Miguel de Allende offers a unique experience that seamlessly blends its five centuries of history with luxury living.
Located just outside of Mexico City, in the state of Guanajuato, the city upholds a unique ambiance. Around every bend of the charming cobblestone streets, there is a celebration of beauty, culture, and history. San Miguel de Allende serves as both the epicurean capital and the equestrian capital of Mexico and is the 2nd largest wine district in the country. The streets are lined with five-star restaurants, boutique hotels, theatrical playhouses, and nightly music venues surrounded by five centuries of Baroque/Neoclassical colonial architecture. Additionally, the town’s perfect year-round mild climate and reasonable cost of living only make the city even more desirable.
