Most of the rentals have been rentals for a long time. There are very few new houses available for rent. Bugambilias is a gated community right up the road from Santa Anita. They do have guards at the entrance but they do not ask for ID or write down license plates as they do in other gated communities. It is a newer development than Santa Anita and VERY big.
Houses are closer together in some parts of the neighborhood, many times with common walls.
It is not as expensive as Santa Anita. Rental contracts in this community can be negotiated sometimes in pesos . In Bugambilias there are many expats but they are not the CEOS of companies - mostly middle management. Because of its proximity to Santa Anita it is also a popular place for foreigners. This 24 hour gated community has mature landscaping, cobblestone streets and wonderful open spaces.
