San Francisco, or San Pancho for short, is known for its alternative style, its unique artwork, and for its rural, natural essence. This town is more relaxed than its busy neighbor, Sayulita. You won’t find any high-rise buildings or huge hotel complexes here, which is a great spot for ex-pats who are looking to make the move away from the busy city life.

There is a wide variety of real estate option in San Pancho. Properties include charming, traditional Mexican-style homes and luxurious beachfront villas. San Francisco also boasts a polo, equestrian and entertainment facility as well as the Las Huertas golf course.

Home seekers looking to live in a more rural environment, outside of the traditional tourist locations, will find an authentic home in San Pancho.

Five minutes south of San Pancho is the surf town of Sayulita. If you drive a bit farther south, you’ll arrive at Punta Mita, the most exclusive and luxurious destination within the Banderas Bay. To the north of San Pancho is Costa Norte.
