Overlooking San Miguel above the market area is Los Balcones, a peaceful residential area with luxury homes. Properties on the hillside enjoy some of the most dramatic views in all of San Miguel, overlooking the Parroquia, Centro and facing the sunset. To enjoy these views, however, involves a steep walk, so it's often referred to as a “walk down, cab home” neighborhood. Nearby, with some homes adjoining it, is the botanical garden. There is a beautiful canyon with lakes and hiking trails to enjoy. This area is exclusively residential so there aren't many local amenities available.
