Apartment for sale in Old Havana: "A gem in the midst of chaos"

This small refuge is not just a property for sale. It is also a reflection of the complex reality of life in Havana.


In the heart of Old Havana, a neighborhood steeped in history but deeply deteriorated, a small apartment has gone on sale that defies its surroundings. It is a gem amidst the chaos.

In a crumbling city, this 44 m² home, located in a building from the 1950s, has been well preserved. It displays an unusual care in this central area marked by neglect, collapses, and overpopulation.

The apartment is efficiently designed to optimize space. It is very bright, has a cozy living-dining room, a small but functional kitchen, a remodeled bathroom, and a quiet room, in the midst of the bustling Havana.

The balcony is covered, with views of a street that reflects the reality of the city. This space showcases the contradiction of living in a well-maintained place amid a context of ruin.

The location, near the Yarini bar and the San José warehouses, adds value to this property. However, Old Havana, despite its tourist appeal, is a setting where many buildings are on the brink of collapse, so one should think twice before choosing it as a neighborhood to live in.

This apartment is an exception in a city that seems to yield to time and the lack of investment. It has a price of 30,000 dollars, out of reach for a Cuban worker.

Although it may seem crazy, there are those who choose to live there. If you are a single person with "good resources" or are looking for a property for the short-term rental business in Havana, this could be a good option.

What do you think?
