About Centro / Cabo Santa María

Centro is La Paloma's heart, set around the striped Cabo Santa Maria lighthouse on the headland where the Atlantic meets the town. Here are the supermarkets, the classic cinema, the casino, restaurants and year-round services, with the main town beaches a short walk in either direction - the most connected, walkable address in Rocha's largest beach town. For investors Centro offers the best blend of access and value. Apartments and houses trade around US$2,000-2,600/m2, the town's higher band but still well under Punta del Este, with appreciation of 6-9% as eco-tourism and the Michelin effect lift Rocha. Proximity to beaches and services drives strong summer short lets plus year-round local demand, for blended gross yields of 4-6%. With unrestricted foreign freehold ownership, Centro suits buyers wanting a walkable, services-rich base with reliable rental appeal.
