Here's why we'd still buy it. 📍 La 70, Laureles 💰 Price: COP $490,000,000 (~USD $147,000) 💰 HOA: COP $336,000/month (~USD $100) 💰 Property Tax: COP $2,009,371/year (~USD $602) This apartment sits directly on La 70 — one of the most walkable, in-demand streets in Laureles — with metro access, a pharmacy, and restaurants all right across the street or underneath the building itself. ✅ 137 m² Total Area ✅ 4 Bedrooms (includes maid's quarters) ✅ 3 Bathrooms ✅ Building Age: ~50 Years ❌ Needs a Full Remodel This is not a turnkey apartment. It's an old building on one of the busiest commercial streets in Laureles, and it needs real work — but the location is what most buyers can't get anywhere else. Right now this unit sits at roughly COP $3.5 million per m². Fully remodeled, units like this on La 70 can be worth COP $5-6 million per m². We'll also be straight about the noise — this is a commercial street, and the sound from traffic, nightlife, and shops opening and closing runs from early morning to late at night. Soundproof windows are a standard, affordable fix for buildings like this. This is a strong option for buyers looking for a real renovation project in one of Laureles' best locations, not for someone looking for a quiet, move-in-ready unit. Would you take on an older apartment for a location like this, or would you rather have a newer building in a quieter area?
