El Vergel

One of Cuenca's most sought-after neighborhoods, along the Yanuncay river

El Vergel is where Cuenca's real estate holds its value best. Just south of the Historic Center and bordered by the Yanuncay river, it blends tree-lined streets, walkability to the stadium and Av. Solano, and one of the city's best mixes of traditional homes and modern condos.

It's a favorite among both established Cuencano families and North American and European retirees who want to walk to cafés, parks and healthcare without depending on a car. Steady demand keeps prices among the highest in the city.
