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.

Yes, there still are some GREAT fixer-uppers left in Cuenca A lot of people come to Cuenca thinking, “We’ll find an older unit for low price and fix it up.” Well, those days are practically gone in Cuenca. But that doesn’t mean that one doesn’t pop up every once in a while! And that’s what we have here. Imagine, a 2500 square foot penthouse, on Gran Colombia, right on the Tranvia route, for only $190.000! That’s almost unheard of.

What a find! This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo on the West side of Cuenca is in an older building, on the river, in one of the best locations in town. There is a lot to say about this unit, but let’s start with this: It is 1,300 square feet and listed at $135,000, and it has very recently been completely remodeled, from top to bottom! And this was not just a “new paint, new counters, new cabinets” kind of remodel. This was a top-to-bottom effort where everything has been upgraded to the highest design levels you could imagine. First, let’s be clear, the views needed no remodeling at all! We say that jokingly, but it’s really an important thing to point out. The views from this home are spectacular, and the massive windows along the west side let in so much light that you will be able to see every upgrade that has been incorporated in the remodel. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with long quartz counters, tons of cabinet space, top-of-the-line appliances, and even an eat-in quartz breakfast island. It’s simply beautiful. There is even a large laundry area off of the kitchen. And the large open concept living space, with its trey ceiling and recessed lighting, offers both living room and dining room areas, beautiful flooring, and custom window treatments. There is even a beautiful bar area for entertaining. With two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, 1,300 square feet of completely remodeled spaces, parking and storage, amazing views and location, and a price of only $135,000, this is condo that you have to see if you are seriously looking for a home that shows and lives much higher than its asking price. This gem simply won’t last! Montly HOA $85

It is so easy to take an older Cuenca home and do a rotten remodel on it trying to make it seem “modern and up-to-date.” We’ve seen it a thousand times. Frankly, the touches that most North Americans want in a modern family home are often lost on the “renovation” contractors here. And that is precisely why we are so happy to have this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, split-level listing. Someone took an older home that had lots of character and did a remodel to it that made it even better! Really, the full remodel done to this home is beautiful and expertly done. The contractor brought in all of the luxuries we expect today, while also leaving in the beautiful details that the home already had…like that gorgeous wrapping staircase!
