Getsemaní

Getsemaní is Cartagena's bohemian heart, a once-working-class barrio just outside the walled city that has become one of the Caribbean's hippest neighbourhoods: street-art-covered lanes, the lively Plaza de la Trinidad, the salsa institution Café Havana, and a dense scene of street food, boutique bars and restored boutique hotels. It keeps a real community amid the gentrification, and its nightlife is the city's most energetic. For investors, Getsemaní is Cartagena's hottest gentrification-and-short-let story: bohemian energy, scarce restored colonial stock and intense tourism demand just steps from the walled city drive the strongest appreciation in Cartagena and high gross yields of ~6–8%. The caveats are nightlife noise and the social dynamics of ongoing gentrification, so location within the barrio matters. Colombia's fully open foreign-ownership regime makes acquisition simple, often in US dollars, and the real-estate Migrant (M) visa is available; restoration and Caribbean-climate maintenance are standard considerations.
