Cuenca Properties

The city, Ecuador´s third largest, is home to approximately 350,000 citizens, and an estimated 4,000 expats. It is an extremely walkable city, and expats often gather near the Parque Abdon Calderon for coffee or drinks. The city is flush with both modern conveniences including 18 hospitals, and with 4 major universities attracting students from all over the world, it is often referred to as the Athens of the Andes.
Cuenca´s temperatures range from 50-75 degrees Fahrenheit, and is often hailed as the city of eternal spring. For those who love the outdoors, Cajas National Park offers incredible year round hiking. Most expats live extremely well on $2000 a month.
If you are seeking a rich cultural life with international symphonies and ballets and a mix of the historic and the modern, come see what makes Cuenca such a special place to retire.

This new construction, luxury riverfront project in El Centro, Cuenca, broke ground in January 2023, and has already received much attention and interest, with more than one-half of the units pre-sold … some before the project was even formally announced. This high-end project is being developed by Cuenca's premier downtown development company, ISAM. Casa Todos Santos will have 35 condos, comprised of one, two and three-bedroom units, and will be located in one of Cuenca's most historic areas, near the oldest church in the city -- Iglesia Todos Santos. The project will also have two commercial facilities on the Calle Larga side, as well as underground parking. The beautifully terraced, modern building will have an entrance next to the church on Calle Larga, a street filled with fine restaurants, high-end boutiques, cafes, artisan and craft shops, bakeries, a Mercado and museums. The structure will then cascade down a hill with a second entrance across from the beautiful Tomebamba River. Elevators will be found near both entrances. The 2-bedroom condo featured here in the first three apartment renderings is listed at $284,600. One, two and three-bedroom units still left in this new construction, luxury riverfront project in El Centro, Cuenca are priced from $114,000 - $358,600. Nearly half of the units have already been sold, so don't lose out on this most exceptional opportunity. ISAM's last project -- Casa del Huerto -- recently won the distinction of being the "Best New Renovation" in all of Latin America and was also awarded the coveted "José María Vargas Award" for best historical renovation by the city of Cuenca. This marks the second ISAM building to garner such a distinction. And, Todos Santos is sure to be close to follow.
