Guadalajara Real Estate
 Due to its importance as the major industrial and commercial center of western Mexico, Guadalajara has a large community of expatriates. Since the first major step of relocation is securing housing, expats generally select their residential area based on proximity to work and/or school, security, pollution and neighborhood services, such as shops and hospitals.
Atlas Colomos, Ciudad Bugambilias, Club de Golf Santa Anita, Colinas de San Javier, Country Club, Lomas del Valle, Providencia, Puerta de Hierro, Rancho Contento and Valle Real are the main areas of town where expatriate families live. These communities offer the security and comfort that expatriates expect. These neighborhoods are often gated or high-walled residences with security guards and have excellent facilities (like golf courses, gyms or swimming pools), along with proximity to essential services (shops, supermarkets, dry cleaners, etc.).
