La Inmaculada is the established-residential, detached-house answer to Zúñiga's gated-complex life.
La Inmaculada is the established-residential, detached-house answer to Zúñiga's gated-complex life. Older building stock, larger lots, mature trees, longer-tenured foreign residents. For foreigners who came specifically for a garden and a kitchen-opens-onto-patio life, this is the right Envigado sector. For families who want pool-and-gym amenities, Zúñiga is the answer; for hilltop views in modern towers, El Esmeraldal.
An upscale, established Envigado sector on the eastern slope adjacent to Zúñiga but with older, larger-lot residential character. La Inmaculada has fewer newer complexes than Zúñiga; building stock skews 1980s-2000s with several detached houses and small horizontal residential developments. Foreigners who pick La Inmaculada usually want garden lots and established residential character that the newer Zúñiga towers don't have.
Bill takes the dogs out at 6:30am most mornings - a 25-minute walk around their loma loop. The dogs know the route and the neighbors know the dogs. Linda joins on weekends.
Linda runs the garden. Twelve years in, it is one of the better small gardens in the sector. She has a gardener who comes twice a week, but she does most of the choosing about what goes where and what comes out.
Groceries are a 10-minute drive to the Carulla Envigado. Once a week they drive to Mayorca for the bigger Éxito.
Doctor visits are at Clínica Las Vegas; both speak some Spanish but Bill prefers the bilingual doctors and Linda has gotten close enough with hers to manage in mostly Spanish.
Dinners at home are frequent. They cook for friends three or four times a month - usually three or four other couples, a mix of foreign and Colombian residents. The dining room comfortably seats ten.
They have considered downsizing twice but the garden is the thing they would lose, and Linda is firm.
