Usaquén

Bogotá's colonial-village charm in the affluent north, Usaquén's plaza, Sunday flea market and upscale dining, safe and family-friendly

About Usaquén

Usaquén is a former colonial town swallowed by Bogotá's northward growth, and it has kept its village heart: a picturesque plaza ringed by restaurants and the colonial Iglesia de Santa Bárbara, the famous Sunday Mercado de las Pulgas flea market, and the Hacienda Santa Bárbara, a colonial estate turned upscale mall. Around this core spread leafy, affluent and notably safe residential streets against the Cerros Orientales. For investors, Usaquén pairs charm with stability: strong demand from affluent families and expats, weekend short-let appeal around the plaza and market, and good gross yields of ~5.5–7%. It is among the safer northern zones, which supports both rental and resale demand. Colombia's fully open foreign-ownership regime and the real-estate Migrant (M) visa keep acquisition simple, with transactions in Colombian pesos and currency exposure the main variable to weigh.
