Good to know before you buy
- You will want a car: Malanquín is a drive-everywhere neighborhood.
- Ask about the HOA fee and what it covers, and whether a club membership comes with the home.
- On lots, check the construction rules of each community and the availability of water and services before you buy.
- Property tax (predial) is low by US and Canadian standards; your notario confirms the exact amount at closing.
