Pre-construction price: real range (25th–75th percentile) of active unit types in Yulia's portfolio by zone, August 2026. Gross yield: general market estimate for Asunción — not a per-neighborhood measurement. Only neighborhoods with projects currently available are shown.

💡 How to read this table: pre-construction price comes from the actual active projects Yulia Traidova, certified real estate broker, has in each zone — not a generic market average. "Gross yield" is a general Asunción market estimate (rental income as a percentage of property value, before taxes and expenses), since we don't publish per-neighborhood yield figures without our own data to back them.

Neighborhood-by-Neighborhood Analysis

The neighborhoods in this section are zones where Yulia has active projects in her portfolio today — prices and profiles reflect that real inventory, not a generic market average.

🏙️ Villa Morra / Corporate Hub

Price: USD 1,822–2,104/m² Yield: 7%–9% gross Profile: Short + long-term rental

The Corporate Hub is the area of greatest vertical development in Asunción. It houses the tallest buildings in Paraguay and sees strong demand for both residential and short-stay rentals. It has the most active projects in Yulia's portfolio.

Ideal for: Investors looking for premium projects with full amenities and good resale liquidity. Also well-suited for tourist or corporate short-stay rental.

In favor

  • Largest supply and resale liquidity in the portfolio
  • Strong demand for corporate and short-stay rental
  • Full amenities in the newest developments

Worth noting

  • Higher entry price than Herrera or Luque
  • Traffic and density at peak hours, as the area of tallest buildings

Not the best fit if you want the lowest entry ticket — see Herrera or Luque below.

🌳 Ykua Satí

Price: USD 2,012–2,645/m² Yield: 6%–8% gross Profile: Families, personal use

Ykua Satí is a consolidated, leafy residential neighborhood close to schools and shops. It has the highest price per m² among Yulia's active projects, reflecting its central location and limited available land.

Ideal for: Buyers seeking personal use with good appreciation potential, or investors targeting long-term family rentals.

In favor

  • Central, consolidated location near schools and shops
  • Strong long-term family rental demand
  • Limited available land supports value

Worth noting

  • The highest entry price in the whole portfolio
  • Lower rental turnover than short-stay zones

Not the best fit for a tighter entry budget — see Herrera or Luque.

🏢 Las Lomas (Carmelitas)

Price: USD 2,162–2,406/m² Yield: 6%–8% gross Profile: Yield investor, executives

Las Lomas, which includes the area known as Carmelitas, is one of Asunción's highest-value areas: high-end residences close to Paseo La Galería. Active projects here carry the highest entry price in the portfolio.

Ideal for: Investors who prioritize executive rental yield over a lower entry ticket.

In favor

  • Premium location, close to Paseo La Galería
  • High-earning executive tenant profile

Worth noting

  • High entry ticket
  • Fewer active portfolio projects than Villa Morra or Luque

Not the best fit for a first investment on a limited budget.

🏘️ Las Mercedes

Price: USD 1,621–1,883/m² Yield: 6%–8% gross Profile: Corporate rentals, couples

Las Mercedes combines proximity to the Corporate Hub with somewhat more accessible prices than Villa Morra. Good rental demand from young professional couples working in the corporate zone.

Ideal for: Investors looking for a balance between entry price and stable rental demand.

In favor

  • Close to the Corporate Hub at a more accessible price than Villa Morra
  • Good demand from young couples and professionals

Worth noting

  • Less address prestige than Villa Morra or Las Lomas
  • Smaller pool of active projects

Not the best fit if you prioritize the most prestigious address over price.

🌿 Los Laureles

Price: USD 1,820–1,964/m² Yield: 6%–8% gross Profile: Balance of price and location

Los Laureles offers a middle ground between location and price, with new projects aiming to capture demand that no longer finds accessible entry tickets in Villa Morra or Las Lomas.

Ideal for: Own-use buyers or mid-budget investors who want proximity to premium zones without paying full premium-zone prices.

In favor

  • Middle ground between location and price
  • Captures demand priced out of Villa Morra or Las Lomas

Worth noting

  • Less established track record than the Corporate Hub
  • Lower neighborhood brand recognition

Not the best fit if you want Asunción's most recognized address.

🏗️ Herrera

Price: USD 1,782–1,850/m² Yield: 5%–7% gross Profile: Growing area

Herrera is an expanding residential area, with new project supply and more accessible entry prices than the central corporate zones.

Ideal for: Buyers who prioritize entry price and are looking for medium-term growth potential.

In favor

  • Accessible entry price without leaving zones with active supply
  • Medium-term growth potential

Worth noting

  • Infrastructure and services less consolidated than the Corporate Hub
  • Tighter gross yield (5%–7%)

Not the best fit if you want immediate resale liquidity in a consolidated zone.

📍 Luque

Price: USD 1,547–1,934/m² Yield: 5%–7% gross Profile: Accessible entry

Luque has the most active projects in the portfolio outside Asunción's corporate hub, driven by its proximity to the airport and the growth of its own business and commercial axis.

Ideal for: First real estate investment or investors with a tighter entry budget, without leaving zones with active supply.

In favor

  • The lowest entry ticket in the whole portfolio
  • Close to the airport, with its own growing commercial axis

Worth noting

  • Outside Asunción's traditional corporate hub
  • Tighter gross yield (5%–7%), same as Herrera

Not the best fit if you prioritize the central corporate address over entry price.

Our recommendation, with real projects available today

If we had to pick 3 zones today: Villa Morra for those who prioritize resale liquidity and short-stay rental; Ykua Satí for personal use or long-term family rental, given its limited available land; and Luque for a first investment or a tighter entry budget, without leaving a zone with active, growing supply. Unlike other market guides, this recommendation is based on projects actually available today in Yulia's portfolio — not on generic market averages or unbacked per-neighborhood appreciation figures.
