Savassi

Savassi is the walkable social and gastronomy heart of Belo Horizonte: a compact, upscale grid around the Praça da Savassi, layered with the city's densest concentration of bars, restaurants and boutiques, the Shopping Pátio Savassi, and a steady mix of offices and apartments. Youthful and lively by night, walkable by day, it is the neighbourhood most associated with BH's celebrated bar culture. For investors, Savassi is the city's most liquid and prime market: demand from young professionals, students and short-let guests underpins gross yields of ~4.5–5.5% on apartments and compact units, with the trade-off being nightlife noise on the busiest streets. Brazil's fully open urban-ownership regime keeps acquisition simple for foreigners (a registered Matrícula deed), and the VIPER route grants residency on R$1M+ of qualifying urban property; transactions are in Brazilian reais, so currency is the principal exposure.
