Buying in Huixquilucan

House sales lead in Bosque Real, which alone carries more listings than any other colonia in the municipality. La Herradura, Lomas de Tecamachalco, Bosques de la Herradura, Lomas de las Palmas, Lomas de La Herradura and Parques de la Herradura form a cluster of older, similarly priced gated sections behind it, while Lomas Country Club, with a smaller pool of listings, commands the highest prices of all of them.

What to consider before buying

In this hillside corridor, two houses with the same lot size can have very different usable outdoor space depending on the slope, so ask to see the actual buildable area, not just the total lot size. Ask what the HOA fee covers exactly, since developments with their own private security and utilities, like Bosque Real, run well above a standard gated section. Given the terrain, ask about retaining walls and drainage before closing, especially on canyon-facing lots.
