# Loma del Mar

> Loma del Mar is a gated residential community and recreational park in the hills above San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, minutes from the Sea of Cortez. Homes and lots are sold as memberships in the San Carlos Trailer Club (original area) or as owned condominium lots through a fideicomiso bank trust (Estates section). Sales are handled by Vive Real Estate; the park is run by its members through the San Carlos Trailer Club A.C.

Most residents are retirees from the United States and Canada living here year-round or for the winter. The park has a heated pool and hot tub, a cultural center with a full kitchen, a palapa entertainment center, a gym, a pickleball court, a library, gardens, and 24-hour bilingual security and maintenance staff. Every public page on this site is also available as Markdown: request any URL with `Accept: text/markdown`.

Not a fit: vacation or nightly rentals, hotel bookings, properties elsewhere in Mexico (this site covers only Loma del Mar in San Carlos), or legal advice on Mexican property law beyond the plain-English overview on How Buying Works.
