In short: Zirándaro is a gated residential community with a golf course on the east side of San Miguel de Allende. Most homes are in private condominiums, many with roof terraces, and prices are well below those of the center. On 11 November 2026, RESMA had 18 properties listed there: 15 homes and 3 lots.

Where it is

Zirándaro lies outside the historic center, on the east side of the city. Based on the map point of a published listing, it is roughly 6 km in a straight line from the Jardín Principal (RESMA's calculation). Residents usually drive; distance on the road and travel time depend on the route and traffic.

Golf and amenities

The Live in San Miguel guide describes a 9-hole executive course designed for walking, a clubhouse with a semi-Olympic pool, a gym and a restaurant, green areas and a children's playground. Listings in the development also mention 24-hour private security. We have not found an official public source from the development itself, so confirm the current amenities, rules and fees with the administration before buying.

What you can buy here

Most homes in Zirándaro are houses inside private condominiums, from about 75 to 287 m² of construction. In RESMA's listings on 11 November 2026:

  • Homes in MXN (14): from MX$2.9 million to MX$8.9 million; median MX$4.5 million.
  • Homes in USD (1): US$349,000.
  • Lots (3): MX$1.3 million to MX$2.56 million, from about 181 to 460 m².

These are asking prices from our own inventory, not closing prices and not the whole market.

Asking prices of RESMA listings on 11 Nov 2026. Listings change; open each one to see its current status.

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want a newer, lock-and-leave home with security and shared amenities.
  • Budgets that do not reach the center, and families who want more space for the price.
  • Second-home owners who value a condominium administration that looks after common areas.

It suits less well those who want to walk to restaurants and galleries, or who want a historic house.

What to check before you buy

  • Condominium rules and fees: the monthly fee, what it covers, rules on rentals and pets, and whether there are pending special assessments.
  • New or resale: if you buy from a developer, Mexico's NOM-247-SE-2021 requires a written adhesion contract registered with Profeco and sets minimum guarantees. See our resale vs. pre-construction guide.
  • Furnished homes: several listings include furniture; ask for an inventory list in the contract.
  • Services and documents: water, electricity and internet at the address, and the usual notary review of title and accounts.

By the RESMA Real Estate team · San Miguel de Allende · Updated: 11 Nov 2026 · Leer en español

In short: Club de Golf Malanquín is a residential golf community on the road to Celaya, a few minutes from the historic center. It suits buyers who want more space, newer construction and club life while staying close to town. On 11 November 2026, RESMA had 23 properties listed in Residencial Malanquín La Mesa: homes, two apartments and ten lots.

Where it is

The club's published address is Residencial La Mesa, Salida a Celaya Km 3, on the road to Celaya. Most residents drive into town; the trip is short, but it depends on route, time of day and traffic on the Celaya road, so test it at the hours you would actually use it.

The name "Malanquín" also covers different areas. In our inventory, Residencial Malanquín La Mesa (the golf community) and INFONAVIT Malanquín (a separate, more modest housing area nearby, with 2 listings on the same date) are distinct zones with very different prices. Always confirm which one a listing refers to.

Golf and club facilities

According to Fodor's, the course has 18 holes, 7,300 yards and a par of 72. Fodor's and the Live in San Miguel guide both mention tennis courts, a heated pool, steam rooms and a fitness area, and Live in San Miguel describes Malanquín as the oldest golf club in San Miguel de Allende. The two sources describe the pool differently (Olympic versus semi-Olympic), and Fodor's says the facilities are open to the public for a fee. Club membership is separate from owning a home: ask the club directly for current membership types, fees and rules before you decide.

What you can buy here

Homes in Malanquín are mostly contemporary or Mexican-colonial in style, with gardens, terraces and parking, which are harder to find in the center. In RESMA's listings on 11 November 2026:

  • Homes in MXN (7): from MX$5.5 million to MX$43 million; median MX$11.0 million.
  • Homes in USD (4): from US$538,000 to US$1,095,000.
  • Apartments (2): MX$4.9 million and MX$5.8 million.
  • Lots (10): MX$1.59 million to MX$3.0 million, from about 193 to 444 m².

These are asking prices from our own inventory, not closing prices and not the whole market. The sample is small, so a single listing moves the median.

Asking prices of RESMA listings on 11 Nov 2026. Listings change; open each one to see its current status.

Who it suits

  • Golfers and families who want club facilities close to home.
  • Buyers who want a garden, a garage and newer construction rather than a colonial house in the center.
  • People who are comfortable driving into town rather than walking.

It suits less well those who want to walk everywhere, or who prefer the density and street life of Centro, San Antonio or Guadalupe.

What to check before you buy

  • Which section: golf course frontage, inside a private condominium, or on a lot in a newer section such as Mesa de Malanquín.
  • Fees and rules: the condominium or association fee, what it covers and the construction rules for lots. Ask for the latest regulations and the fee statement.
  • Club membership: whether it comes with the home, is optional or is transferable.
  • Services: water supply, electricity and internet for the specific address.
  • Documents: as with any purchase, the notary reviews title, liens and the property tax and water accounts.
