Zona Industrial No 1 is not a place most expats - or most Colombians seeking a residential neighborhood - would choose intentionally. The four buildings holding apartments appear to serve a niche: wor…
Primavera is a small residential cluster in Itagüí that we have not yet researched in depth. The empirical rent data - $800-900 for a 2BR, $1,050-1,100 for a 3BR - sits well above typical Itagüí prici…
