Guayaquil Properties

With well over 2 million inhabitants, Guayaquil is Ecuador´s largest city and its commercial capital. Because of this, it is not typically viewed as an expat retirement destination, but if you are relocating to Ecuador for work reasons, this is probably where you´re heading. Guayaquil used to have a reputation as run down city, but the city has undergone a Renaissance in the past decade. The riverfront area now has become a center for international business with 4 star hotels and convention centers lining the Malecon.

Because of Guayaquil´s size, buyers should work with a real estate agent in order to get to know the many neighborhoods that Guayaquil has to offer. Sanbarandon has long been home to Guayaquil´s upper class elite, but neighborhoods like Los Ceibos are growing up which represent Guayaquil´s growing upper-middle class. Additionally, if you don´t mind living a little bit out of town, there are dozens of new developments sprouting up along Via de la Costa.
