Cuenca Properties
Cuenca, with its cobblestone streets and stately mansions, has become one of the world´s top retirement destinations. 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 beautifully upgraded, light-filled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo in Puertas del Sol with an expansive 2-sided terrace and fabulous mountain and city views, offers something rarely found in Cuenca — a truly high-design home where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and executed. Located in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods, favored by both expats and locals for its walkability, river access, and proximity to restaurants and cafés, the apartment spans 208 sq. meters (2,246 sq. ft), with 156 sq. meters (1,680 sq. ft) of interior space and an additional 52 sq. meters (566 sq. ft) of covered terraces that wrap gracefully around two sides of the home. From the moment you enter, the space opens wide to light and jaw-dropping views. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors line the exterior walls, drawing in the changing skies and soft mountain light from the Cajas to the west. The effect is immediate — a sense of openness, calm, and quiet sophistication. The indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly here, with covered pergolas extending the living areas outward, creating a flow that makes everyday life feel expansive and relaxed. What truly sets this home apart is the level of upgrades — more than $90,000 invested to ensure both beauty and comfort. There is no builder-grade finish here. Premium Italian and Ecuadorian tile surfaces run throughout, complemented by Kohler fixtures in every bathroom and carefully selected materials that reflect a consistent design vision. To protect the interiors from the equatorial sun while preserving the views, the owners installed $25,000 worth of electro-mechanical Hunter Douglas remote-controlled blinds, offering both sheer and blackout options. The pergola glass is double-paned with a UV-coated interlayer, creating a comfortable, climate-conscious environment year-round. The apartment is also fully equipped as a smart home, with Lutron dimmable lighting, imported Danish fixtures, and strategically placed art lighting that enhances the evening ambiance. Fiber internet and extensive CAT 6 wiring ensure strong connectivity throughout, and the system is Google Home–ready for those who prefer voice-controlled living, while remaining simple to operate manually.
