Ciudad del Este

Across the Friendship Bridge

Ciudad del Este sits across the Friendship Bridge from Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, at the end of Route PY02, the highway from Asunción.

Locals often name areas by the kilometer of PY02: Km 4, Km 7, Km 10. Which block makes sense depends on where your classes are — that's why we start with your university.

For parents and guardians

For whoever pays the rent from afar

Many of the people paying for housing live in another country. The process is designed so you can follow every step without traveling before you need to.

  1. Properties visited before we recommend them

    We visit properties in person before recommending them — never just forwarding a listing unchecked.

  2. Real video and photos

    While you're still abroad, we visit and send video and photos of the actual property.

  3. Everything on record in WhatsApp

    Prices, terms and agreements stay in the conversation from first contact to closing — easy to follow from anywhere.

  4. Guidance on documents

    The document list varies by property and landlord. We confirm what's needed case by case.

Frequently asked questions

What students and families ask most before settling on housing in Paraguay.

Can I rent before arriving in Paraguay?

Yes. If you're still abroad, Golden Keys visits the property and sends real video and photos, and the negotiation continues on WhatsApp. Whenever possible, we recommend seeing the property before closing.

How much does it cost to live near the university?

It depends on distance from campus, furnishing and the time of year — the start of a semester is busier. Since prices change all the time, we share what's available now, with current prices, on WhatsApp.

What documents do I need to rent?

A passport or ID in good condition; for students, proof of enrollment helps a lot. Guarantor, deposit or other guarantees vary by property and landlord — we confirm the exact list case by case.

Can my parents follow along from home?

Yes. Since the whole process happens on WhatsApp, whoever pays the rent can see the same videos, photos, prices and terms and follow the negotiation through to closing.

Do you only work in Ciudad del Este?

No. Golden Keys works in Ciudad del Este, Presidente Franco, Encarnación, Pedro Juan Caballero and Asunción. First contact and follow-up happen on WhatsApp, and in-person visits take place in the cities we serve.
