Santa Ana

Santa Ana is the corregimiento next to Casco Viejo, between the old town and Calidonia, and one of the oldest parts of Panama City. Its streets hold the Mercado de Mariscos, Avenida Central's pedestrian shopping strip and blocks of early twentieth-century buildings, many of them under restoration as the renewal of Casco Viejo spreads west. Inventory is a mix of restored apartments, buildings for conversion and ground-floor retail, at prices below Casco Viejo itself. Buyers here are usually looking for a heritage property in the historic center, or for short-term rental income a short walk from the old town and the Cinta Costera.
