In recent years, eastern Antioquia has experienced significant urban and commercial growth. These dynamics have led to a clear increase in property values, contributing to the region's economic progress. It has also become a more competitive sector by providing its residents and visitors with a wide range of products and services. Here we explain why eastern Antioquia is so attractive.
How has the eastern part of Antioquia developed urbanistically?
Over the last decade, this sector has been characterized by rapid and constant development. In fact, it led the demand for home sales in Antioquia, with 6,325 apartments and other residential properties sold in this region alone, exceeding the number of units sold in Bello, Medellín, and Sabaneta.
According to La Lonja, the Real Estate Guild of Medellín and Antioquia, this year the area sold 26% of the new housing in the department, which corresponds to 1 in every 4 homes. In addition, in 2022, land values increased by 17%.
These numbers on appreciation and population growth show that this area has become the perfect place to live or invest. That's why there are more and more apartments for sale in Rionegro and other towns in the East that are in high demand in the real estate market. This subregion is the top choice for real estate investment, and the arrival of new residents is boosting the sector's growth.
What are the reasons for living in eastern Antioquia?
Many families have decided to move from Medellín to eastern Antioquia because of the many benefits this area offers. The air quality, peaceful atmosphere, and extensive vegetation are some of the reasons why many people choose to rent an apartment in Rionegro.
Public transportation, mobility, and multiple access roads also represent quality and convenience for its residents. Thanks to the construction of the Oriente tunnel, travel times have been significantly reduced.
On the other hand, thanks to population growth, the health sector has also created several internationally renowned hospitals and clinics, making it easier for residents to access quality care. In 2020, the Oriente region stood out for its healthcare management. El Santuario, Guarne, Guatapé, La Unión, Rionegro, San Luis, and San Rafael received recognition from the governor of Antioquia and the Departmental Health Ministry.
