Why a 1-bedroom in Pocitos

The smart balance between comfort and city life

A 1 bedroom apartment in Pocitos is consistently one of the most sought-after formats in Montevideo's residential market. It offers enough space for comfortable daily living — a proper bedroom, a separate living area, a real kitchen — while keeping ownership practical and the location genuinely urban.

Pocitos sits on the eastern waterfront of Montevideo, extending from the rambla to a dense network of tree-lined streets filled with cafés, restaurants and shops. It is formally part of Municipio CH and, according to Uruguay's 2023 national census conducted by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, is the city's most populous neighbourhood with 69,107 residents — a population that sustains the vibrant amenity base that makes daily life here genuinely pleasant.

Designed for how you actually live

One bedroom means a real separation between sleeping and living — something a studio cannot give you. It's the threshold where an apartment starts to feel like a home rather than a room.

Everything within walking distance

Playa Pocitos, Rambla República del Perú, Montevideo Shopping, dozens of restaurants and the city's bus network are all minutes from your door. It is one of the most walkable neighbourhoods in Uruguay.
