    About Real Castilla

    Real Castilla did not start as a village but as a housing development: a residential complex by the builder Vinte in Atotonilco de Tula municipality, at the southern edge of the Mezquital Valley. INEGI recognised it as a locality on 15 April 2015, and the 2020 census counted 2,653 residents in 821 occupied homes, 4.25% of the municipality's population.

    The land is rolling hills at 2,289 metres above sea level, with a semi-dry temperate climate; local water belongs to the El Salto sub-basin. The streets are private with access control, and residents are documented as keeping an agreement not to repaint or alter their façades, which gives the complex a uniform look. Homes include two-bedroom apartments and two- and three-bedroom houses.

    The development has themed children's parks, multi-sport courts for football and basketball, a separate football pitch, a dog park, a commercial area, a kindergarten and a primary school, plus a treatment plant that lets water be reused. The homes carry EDGE green-building certification.

    The locality's marginalisation and social-lag levels are both low, and its postal code is 42994.
