The West Side of La Sabana: Urban Growth, Modern Living, and a New Wave of Buyers
The west side of La Sabana, including Nunciatura-Rohrmoser, has become one of San José's most dynamic urban corridors. Over the past few years, the area has transformed into a vibrant district where walkability, lifestyle amenities, and modern residential towers attract a new generation of buyers—particularly Airbnb investors and young professionals seeking convenience and connectivity.
A Magnet for Younger Buyers and Airbnb Investors
The immediate surroundings of Nunciatura and western Sabana offer exactly what today’s urban buyer wants: coffee shops, craft bakeries, boutique gyms, yoga studios, coworking spaces, and an impressive variety of restaurants all within a short walk.
This lifestyle has fueled demand for smaller, efficient condos, typically ranging from 47 m² to 70 m², ideal for short-term rentals and first-time buyers.
Current examples include
- Sky Garden (Nunciatura) – 2-bedroom units of 47–55 m² priced between $197,000 and $240,000.
- Siix Nunciatura (Rohrmoser) – 1 to 3 bedroom units from 57 m² to 115 m², priced from $230,000 to $391,000.
- Torre Rohrmoser – 2-bedroom units around 70 m² listed at $229,000.
These buildings typically offer rooftop lounges, coworking rooms, pet-friendly areas, and compact but stylish social spaces—features that appeal strongly to digital nomads and short-term renters.
Premium Living Around Parque Perú
As demand grows, developers have also focused on the more exclusive pocket surrounding Parque Perú, where larger, high-floor residences offer sweeping city and mountain views. These condos cater to buyers seeking space, privacy, and luxury finishes.
Notable examples include
• Torre One (Rohrmoser) – 4-bedroom residences of 175 m² priced around $549,000. Parque del Café
• Gardenia – 3 bedroom residences of 224 m² priced around $940,000 with premium finishes and upscale amenities.

These larger residences often include private terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, high-end kitchens, and dedicated concierge services. Buildings in this segment also feature semi-Olympic pools, professional gyms, elegant lobbies, and 24/7 security, positioning Parque Perú as one of the most desirable luxury enclaves in the west side market.
Do condos have restrictions?
Before buying a condo, always review the condominium bylaws carefully. Some buildings restrict rentals, pets, renovations, and parking use, and may have certain prohibitions. Make sure these rules align with your lifestyle and plans—don’t let an overlooked bylaw limit how you can use your property.
A Neighborhood in Full Transformation
The combined growth of Sabana, Nunciatura - Rohrmoser reflects a broader trend: buyers want urban convenience without sacrificing comfort. With La Sabana Park just steps away, residents enjoy access to green spaces, running trails, museums, and sports venues—an attractive balance between nature and city living.
As more restaurants, cafés, and boutique services open, demand continues to rise for both compact investment units and spacious luxury condos. Whether for Airbnb income, a first home, or a high-floor residence with panoramic views, the west side of La Sabana has become one of San José's most compelling real estate markets.
