Bring a toy, grab a beer, watch a neighborhood take its first breaths. Experience Villas de Oasis as it shapes into a community where people find connection, calm, and the kind of life that feels good to come home to.

Come meet the Dream Baja crew as the sky goes gold and the lights warm up the block. Chat with the builder, tour the homes, and see the neighborhood at sunset. It’s my best light, come on now, you know.

And a little bonus: the builder is offering a free pool heater for anyone who buys soon. The private pool is already standard in every home. Down here, that means warm night swims all year, with only the moon watching.

Here’s the original story I wrote after visiting recently. It still captures what pulled me out there in the first place.


I went over to the Villas de Oasis worksite to catch the moonrise this week. It’s a construction site still, but Baja style. Which means that I parked next to an ancient Cardón cactus reaching thirty feet into the gathering sunset, a few of its arms graced with Canyon Wrens.

A couple of worksite dogs wandered up, more “hello” than “what are you doing here.” One leaned into my legs for snuggles, and I scratched her ears as I looked out over the view. Honestly, I forget sometimes how stunning it is here. Striking. The crew had already left for the day. As y’all know, I live in El Centro, that city mouse about me. Then it hits me. Standing at the end of this street of soon-to-be dreams, I’m only about fifteen minutes from my house. But I am worlds away.

Modern Design Meets Baja Calm

Drawn by the sharp, angular contrast of the modern lines and desert cactus, the homes and the moon both rising from this feast for the senses, I walked down the street. Every morning, crews and craftsmen arrive to finish pools, tile outdoor showers, and install pergolas on the rooftops of Villas de Oasis - simple, elegant modern homes designed for people ready to make this kind of evening their every day. Two or three bedrooms. Private pools. Rooftop decks where you can sit and watch the ever-changing desert moon climb out of the bay.

Prices start around $160,000 USD. The community sits in El Centenario, a quiet stretch of La Paz just five minutes from the water and fifteen from downtown.

Easy Elegance

Every floor plan includes what actually matters: two or three bedrooms, two baths, parking for two cars, and kitchens with clean lines and premium finishes. Every one comes with a private pool and rooftop deck. Options range from the cozy Casa Básico (947 sq ft) to the larger Casa Oasis (1,675 sq ft).

The developer and Dream Baja Realty have worked together for several years because they build with quality - the kind you can feel in the details, the finishes, and the way these homes are designed to last.

Buying here is straightforward. Foreigners hold full ownership through a fideicomiso (bank trust), handled by licensed escrow partners in the U.S. (Global Escrow Solutions in my old hometown, Austin TX, working with Bank of America). Me and the team guide you from contract to keys in plain language, English or Spanish.

Life Close to Everything La Paz Offers

The air is different, even though we’re still close to everything La Paz has to offer. The afternoon flip from high sun to big cool moon creates a breeze that comes off the hills behind me, the mountains purpling, the opening act for the headliner sunset with special guest the giant November moon. It smells alive out here. The cooling desert exhales petrichor, and the creosote bushes give off that sharp, clean scent they’re famous for. Sage and chaparral add woody and sweet, and all of it mixes with the ocean breeze drifting in from the Sea of Cortez, briny and soft.

Why It’s Working

The first three phases sold out quickly. Sixty-seven homes filled with people who came looking for elegant, easy beauty by the sea - and found it here. True story: I wanted one of the Phase Two houses but waited too long. By the time I sat back and thought about it, they were gone. They’ve since gained value and kept pace with the market. It’d be nice to be able to say you bought when these were still under 200K.

El Centenario sits fifteen minutes from the airport and close to the things that matter: hospitals, bilingual schools, real stores. Ditch the traffic. Skip the Cabo markup. Let the light in. Live in easy elegance - make dinner, swim, then watch a movie with the doors open to the night. Work comes easy here too, high-speed internet and espresso in hand. Then it’s yoga or mimosas with friends under your rooftop pergola. Focus on life for a while. Find balance.

Phase 4 has 23 lots left. Ownership is easy with incentives active now, and an easy payment structure. In a wild market, a lot of people I know are diversifying. Think about your assets and weigh the risks and rewards as Noelle and I have done.

Why El Centenario Feels Different

El Centenario sits just outside the hum of La Paz, wide streets opening into desert and sky. Roadrunners and lizards cut across the path of your drive home, the air carrying the whisper of desert plants and the chorus of crickets rising as the Milky Way spills across the darkening sky.

That’s what Villas de Oasis taps into. The barriers to entry, the access to this life is available and real. It’s a modern take on the Baja rhythm - homes with real kitchens and private pools, built for full-time living or passive income while you finish things up north.

A Moment to Stand Still

I stayed until the sky turned cobalt and stars started to arrive, the moon now so large and white I could see Buzz’s footsteps. The worksite went quiet except for the dogs settling near my feet. I thought about how far I was from the noise of my old life - and how close I was to everything that matters.

Damn. This is beautiful.

“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.”
— William Wordsworth, 1807

See, that liberal arts degree still pays off. In Seattle, after Marissa, after Covid, the elections. The world felt too much with me. It still is sometimes. But here there’s another world waiting, one that reminds you to look up, breathe deep, and pay attention to what’s growing instead of what’s breaking.
