About Amapas

Amapas is the hillside directly above the Romantic Zone, the sophisticated sister of Old Town, between the Sierra foothills and the bay, split by Highway 200 into Upper Amapas, the villa hillside above the road, and Lower Amapas, the boutique-condo strip below it that walks to the water. Lower Amapas is reached by Calle Amapas from Emiliano Zapata, Upper by Callejón de la Igualdad and Hortensia; the Abedul stairs, rebuilt by the volunteer Amapas Neighborhood Association and reopened in November 2024, are the main pedestrian link. It fronts Los Muertos beach to the north and its own rocky cove, Playa Las Amapas, over the boulders at Los Muertos' south end, with the coastal path continuing to Conchas Chinas.

Quiet, residential and not gated: condos in Lower Amapas, mid-size projects of 2004 to 2010 such as La Cima and New Avalon, Signature by Pinnacle, and new boutique towers, Mayāmar's two towers with a rooftop infinity pool, Las Verandas de Amapas with twenty-eight units two blocks from the beach, and Amapas 314, eleven units with a federal environmental review still open; Upper Amapas trades in resale villas and custom builds. Buyers are American and Canadian retirees, second-home owners and rental investors. Los Muertos pier, Basilio Badillo, Olas Altas and the Malecón are a ten-minute walk downhill; the return is a real climb and residents take a taxi after dinner. Hospital CMQ City Center on Basilio Badillo lists Amapas in its service area; the airport is twenty-five to thirty-five minutes.

Practical points. The MLS label does not say which side of the highway a property sits on, and price and walkability depend entirely on it. The risks are slope drainage, retaining walls and rockfall; confirm the street, the parcel's elevation and the nearest arroyo, and which stairway a listing's five-minute walk assumes, since the stairs are association-maintained. Playa Las Amapas has no lifeguard and the cobblestone is slick; buildings span the 1970s to new, so reserves and rental rules are not comparable; foreigners hold through a fideicomiso.
