Living in Bons Aires and Camp Redó #

As for real estate prices, they drop down the further north you look from Plaza España. Especially in Camp Redó, we at AM see a high investment potential as the majority of real estate goes for an affordable price and these neighbourhoods are up and coming.

Charm factor #

These neighbourhoods of Palma are incredibly vivacious and full of life. Their proximity to the centre make them a great place to live - without the busy day-time noise prevailing in other neighbourhoods and without giving up as many activities and pleasures of urban life as you would have to by moving further away from the city. These neighbourhoods are perfect for young couples moving in, students (UIB Campus is close), and even for families as there are quite a few schools in the area as well.
