In the center of it all Balance growth, this is Guanajuato, Central Mexico. The auto industries from around the globe are building plants and creating jobs. Guanajuato boasts GM, Pirelli Tires, Audi, and VW, Denso, Hirotec, Hiro, Mazda and Honda. Small towns are being employed and soccer fields are being built by the companies. It looks very much like this part of Mexico is on the move. 

Driving through Guanajuato will involve beautiful vistas through the Sierra Madres. Guanajuato real estate varies from city to city. Leon, the hub of manufacturing for leather, shoes, and more tends to be contemporary. The city is flat, the pace is fast. Real estate is expensive compared to surrounding colonial counter parts mostly because the growth of the middle to upper class and the influx of upper management from the auto industries have out paced the availability of high end homes. If you wanted to come in as an international developer and invest in land for sale in Mexico, now is the time. With housing tight, especially in high end rentals, buying land and building for the trend in housing could be an attractive project if studied and done well, in Leon in particular. It would service the entire area including Guanajuato City and Silao.

There is some overflow into other areas like San Miguel de Allende because of the attraction to colonial architecture. Many European executives like the old feel (much like that of Europe) and San Miguel de Allende has this character. They are not at work every day so they will travel the extra distance for the Mexican colonial experience. Not to mention, the shopping and restaurants in San Miguel have quite a draw from allover Mexico. There is also one other little town just coming onto the radar called Mineral de Pozos. It is the same distance from the auto hub in Leon and Silao as San Miguel but it has a different colonial vibe with less cities and more country. A 30 km bike trail winds around the town and through the grand ruins and mountains of this ancient silver mining Puebla. The walking/hiking with big sky vistas and fresh air definitely escape the rat race and offer a new and exotic Wild West experience to the executive mind. So, weekend executive rentals are another way to play the Mexico real estate market here in Mineral de Pozos. 

It is all about international living and understanding the global shifts in economies. The bold and adventurous can also prosper from this economic boom. The rise of the middle class nationals and the influx of middle and upper class internationals make Central Mexico a great place to be.
