Asunción

Capital, Metropolregion und wirtschaftlicher Schwerpunkt.

Asunción is Paraguay’s political and economic center. For newcomers, it is especially important to understand the difference between the city itself and the wider metropolitan region.

Understand city & metro area: Living and working also often takes place in neighboring cities of the Central Department.
Compare districts: Carmelitas, Villa Morra, Recoleta, Las Mercedes and other areas differ significantly in rents, new developments and infrastructure.
Do not judge property by price alone: Location, developer, completion risk, service charges and rental potential should all be assessed.
