Live the Cuenca Lifestyle: Prime Real Estate for Sale & Investment
Why Cuenca Calls to You
Nestled 8,200 feet high in the Andean sierra, Cuenca blends Old-World charm with modern conveniences that make relocation effortless. Four crystal-clear rivers ribbon through its UNESCO-listed historic center, yet fiber-optic internet, international cafés, and private hospitals sit just a stroll away. Add spring-like weather year-round, and you have a destination where quality of life and property values rise together.
A Market Built for Smart Expat Buyers
While coastal hot spots steal the headlines, Cuenca’s inventory remains limited—and that scarcity supports steady appreciation. Property taxes often run under $300 per year, and foreigners enjoy the same ownership rights as locals. With mortgage alternatives such as developer financing and self-directed IRA purchases, you can acquire a pied-à-terre or rental asset faster than you might expect.
Lifestyle Highlights You’ll Love
Healthcare – Two JCI-accredited hospitals charge a fraction of U.S. rates.
Cost of Living – A gourmet dinner for two rarely tops $30; high-speed internet starts at $25/month.
Walkability – Car-free cobblestone streets connect cafés, craft breweries, and organic mercados.
Community – An established expat network hosts weekly language exchanges and volunteer drives, easing integration from day one.
