  “La Heroica” is considered the most beautiful and best-preserved colonial city in Latin America, so there are several neighborhoods where you can invest in new apartments in Cartagena. At Arquitectura y Concreto we present the best areas to live in Cartagena:

  • The Walled City: an area that brings together art, history and culture, surrounded by colorful houses, balconies adorned with flowers, historic buildings, churches, museums and plazas that recall the founding of the city. 

  It's an area with high tourist demand, so you'll find a variety of housing projects in Cartagena in a very pleasant setting. It's divided into two parts:

  • El Centro, a neighborhood in the south of the Walled City, known for its spectacular colonial architecture, variety of local and international restaurants and luxury hotels, and home to Cartagena's administrative and cultural center, where various events are held.

  • Castillogrande: A residential area near Bocagrande and El Laguito, known for being exclusive and safe, with a great view of Cartagena Bay and little tourism.

  In this area we'll soon launch Unión 5 Once, an apartment project where you'll have endless sea views and the complicity of the sunset.

  Bocagrande and El Laguito: modern, commercial areas home to renowned hotels, major restaurants and shopping centers, as well as skyscrapers, beaches and business offices.
