What it's like to live in Cotoca
Where it is
The town of Cotoca is about 20 km east of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. You get there along Avenida Virgen de Cotoca, which leaves the city and carries on as a highway to the town square. New developments are growing on both sides of the road, and that's where many of the listings are.
Who it suits
It's one of the cheapest options for buying a lot near the city. It's chosen by families looking for their first plot or first home, and by people buying to build later on. Farther from the road there are country properties and plots of several hectares.
The town
Cotoca keeps its old town center, with its square and the sanctuary of the Virgen de Cotoca, patron saint of Santa Cruz, which draws a large pilgrimage from the city every December 8. It has its own shops, market and schools; for a lot of paperwork and bigger shopping, people go into Santa Cruz.
Before you buy
Many lots are in developments still being built out. Ask which utilities reach the street, whether the development's plans are approved by the municipal government of Cotoca, and check the ownership record (folio real) at Derechos Reales. If you're paying in installments, get the payment plan in writing and ask when the transfer deed (minuta) gets signed.
