Up-and-Coming León, Nicaragua Offers Expats Big Bargains and Great Lifestyle Choices—InternationalLiving.com
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) October 31, 2016 -- Expats in the market for great bargains and comfortable living close to the United States would do well to consider up-and-coming León, Nicaragua, according to a new report from the editors of InternationalLiving.com.
Though little-known, León is one of the best-value retirement destinations in the Americas today, the report argues, providing not only remarkable property deals, but a great variety of lifestyle options, too, with city, beach, and farm opportunities.
Turnkey colonial homes right in the heart of the city are on offer for as little as $90,000. A 30-minute drive west of the city, Pacific beachfront homes start at a modest $139,000. And some of Nicaragua’s best and most affordable farmland lies in between.
León is one of Nicaragua’s most beautiful cities and a vibrant university town. Foreign tourists and expats are discovering it in increasing numbers and a growing middle class is emerging there, too—both trends that are helping to push up demand for rentals locally.
As a result, investors interested in owning overseas are finding it easy to rent homes out to expats moving there or to young Nicaraguans relocating to León for work. International Living Nicaragua correspondent Bonnie Hayman reports that in Cova de Iria, for example, a luxury development five minutes from the city center, an unfurnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom house on a 1,937-square-foot lot sells for $68,500. As a rental it could earn $5,000 a year. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit goes for $76,000, and a four-bedroom, three-bathroom unit is only $86,000.
Another residential development, Fátima de Jesús, offers houses from $60,000. A 1,668-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a parking area and ample garden goes for $120,000 and could gross at least $5,000 a year as a rental.
