Small residential area near Transistmica. Modest, quiet, mostly apartment buildings. One of those neighborhoods that exists between bigger neighborhoods and doesn't have a strong identity of its own.
Ramiro's uncle owns three apartments in Villa de las Fuentes. He rents one to Ramiro at $550 - below market, but his uncle says family is family. It's a two-bedroom in a building from 2005. Nothing remarkable. The elevator works. The water pressure is fine. The parking spot fits his car.
His commute to the accounting firm in El Dorado is 15 minutes by car. This is the best thing about the neighborhood's location - it's between things. Not close enough to anything to be expensive, not far enough from anything to be inconvenient.
He buys groceries at a small supermarket a 5-minute drive away. The selection isn't great - for a real shopping trip he goes to the Super 99 on Transistmica. His barber is in the neighborhood. His gym is not - he drives to one in El Dorado near his office.
Villa de las Fuentes doesn't have a personality. Ramiro knows this. It doesn't have a famous restaurant, a park worth mentioning, or a story anyone tells. It's residential blocks, a few commercial spots, and people going about their lives without drama.
He considered moving to El Cangrejo once. Then he multiplied the rent difference by twelve and bought a new TV instead. The math in Villa de las Fuentes always wins.
Social life happens elsewhere. His friends are in the city center. His girlfriend lives in Bella Vista. He drives to her neighborhood on weekends. Nobody drives to Villa de las Fuentes on purpose unless they live here or have an uncle with apartments.
He's fine with this. Not every neighborhood needs to be a destination. Some neighborhoods just need to be affordable, quiet, and close enough to everywhere else. Villa de las Fuentes is exactly that.
