Located on Uruguay’s east coast, La Juanita has become in recent years one of the neighborhoods with the most real estate momentum. Surrounded by nature and with direct access to the sea, it combines the calm of a coastal setting with proximity to the region’s most sought-after destinations.
Strategic Location
La Juanita is just 2 km from José Ignacio, 10 km from La Barra and about 25 km from Punta del Este, giving it an ideal link between the calm of a residential neighborhood and the vitality of the area’s main gastronomic, cultural and tourist hubs. From Montevideo, the neighborhood is roughly 170 km away, a drive of about two hours.
A Growing Neighborhood
What makes La Juanita especially attractive is its stage of development. In just a few years, the area went from a quiet corner of summer houses to an expanding neighborhood, with growing demand for land and new construction. The local market sees it as an opportunity for those looking to invest in real estate in Uruguay before prices catch up with those of José Ignacio.
