Welcome to Brisas de Chapala
Brisas de Chapala is a residential community comprised of 84 residences and 164 lots situated two and one-half kilometers north of the City of Chapala on the main highway (carretera) between Chapala and Guadalajara, Mexico’s second largest city. 
Located between the foothills of the Sierra Madres and Lake Chapala, Brisas offers spectacular views of both the mountains and the lake. The climate in this area is one of the most ideal in the world as has been noted in National Geographic Magazine.
History
Brisas de Chapala was constituted as a non-profit self-governing institution by the State of Jalisco in March of 1992. The document approving the Brisas de Chapala fraccionamiento or Colonos is an Escritura or Constitution which provides, among other things, terms and conditions for the operation of the community. In essence, the community is legally authorized to organize and elect a Board of Directors which has the authority to collect dues from residents and lot owners as determined by homeowners and lot owners. These funds are used to provide the following services; road maintenance and repair, security, street lighting and garbage removal. Additionally these dues are used to pay the National Water Commission for water extracted from our well and for the costs of water distribution to the community. We have two full time employees involved in street maintenance, water distribution etc.
Security
Security is provided by a private security company as well as the City of Chapala Police who conduct regular patrols on our streets and who position a patrol vehicle one kilometer from our entrance gate during the silent hours.
