Punta del Este

In the United States and Europe, the generation which was born between 1946 and 1964 is known as the “Baby Boomers”, due to the high birthrate after the soldiers of the Second World War returned home.

The American demographer William Frey, who studied this phenomenon, asserts that this group of people will not live any stage of their life in the same way their parents did, and are inclined to “skip the old age”.

The baby boomers have realized that the quality of life and security offered by this place is much higher than what they can find in the USA. This creates a great demand for property.

A place such as Punta del Este is ideal for this generation, which can take advantage of an “extended youth”. Here they can find everything they need to lead an active as well as relaxed life in an enjoyable natural environment.
