Coming to Asunción for your residency or to settle down? Here are the neighborhoods we recommend depending on your profile: modern, quiet, family-friendly, or city life.

Choosing your neighborhood based on your lifestyle

Asunción, the capital, offers very different vibes from one neighborhood to the next: modern buildings with pools and rooftops, to quiet, tree-lined streets.

The right neighborhood mostly depends on your profile: looking for modern amenities, quiet, a family setting, or a lively urban life.

In Short

Villa Morra for a modern feel close to downtown, San Blas and Recoleta for quiet and restaurants, Los Laureles for families, downtown for the buzz. If you're preparing your file in parallel, also take the time to look into the resident card.
