" We live here and we know many of the foreigners who have chosen to settle in Cuenca. In addition to what you have gathered from the above website, here are the principal reasons given: the weather (not too hot, not too cold); the cost-of-living; the size of the city, e.g., nearly everything you might need within walking distance in very nice shops; high-quality health care; political-economic stability; good transportation and, finally, friendly people.
We want to show you the new and under-construction luxury condominium apartments situated in the best residential neighborhoods and within easy reach of the center of town. The quality of construction is superb. You will be the first occupant. These apartments are a good investment for two reasons: Should you decide to move, they can be readily sold and they can be rented at good rates if you chose to buy as an investment.
There are advantages in buying prior to the completion of construction. You will receive a discount. This is welcome of course, but the more important reason is this: In most cases, more than half of the apartments are sold before building is complete. The apartment you want may well be sold should you wait. You may ask, “Why do people buy not knowing what the property will be like?” The answer is that they do know because they know other buildings each builder has constructed.
