APTTA Energy | 1-Bedroom Apartment with Terrace
Listing Ref: PLS-200104
A City Apartment That Breathes — 43 m² Inside, 18 m² of Sky Outside
This is Panama City living distilled to its best parts: a bright, efficient one-bedroom layout that opens onto a terrace nearly half the size of the home itself. Mornings begin outdoors with coffee and skyline air; evenings end on the Sky Lounge or in the Technogym-equipped Biofit gym downstairs. At $159,300, it's a rare chance to own in Bella Vista — Panama City's most walkable, most connected address.
Property Details
The ENERGY model is a study in intelligent restraint. Forty-three square meters, one bedroom, one bathroom, every centimeter earning its place. The open kitchen faces the living and dining area so that cooking never means leaving the conversation. The bedroom is a quiet retreat tucked away from the social core. Nothing is wasted, nothing is cramped — and the terrace, almost half the size of the interior again, performs the quiet magic of making a compact home feel expansive. Dinner for six under the stars. A yoga mat at sunrise. A hammock and a Sunday with nowhere to be.
Downstairs, APTTA Active Apartments extends the home far beyond the front door. The Biofit gym is outfitted with Technogym equipment, so the morning workout is an elevator ride rather than a commitment. There's a coworking space for the days the laptop needs a change of scenery, a swimming pool for the days it doesn't, and a Sky Lounge where the city reveals itself at golden hour. A community grill for weekends. Smart lockers for the deliveries that arrive while you're out. Dedicated storage and access for bicycles, motorcycles and electric scooters — a quiet signal that this building was designed for people who move through the city rather than sit in traffic within it. And yes, it's pet-friendly, because a home isn't a home without them.
Then there is Bella Vista itself: Panama City's most civilized collision of old and new. Tree-shaded sidewalks and century-old facades give way to glass towers and some of the capital's best restaurants, cafés and galleries. Santo Tomás Metro is close enough to make a car optional. Urracá Park offers green space for the dog and the running shoes, while the Cinta Costera unfurls along the Pacific for kilometers of waterfront cycling with the Casco Viejo skyline glowing at the far end. Riba Smith and Rey handle the groceries, Hospital Nacional handles peace of mind, and everything else is a short walk or a five-minute ride away. This is the kind of neighborhood expats move to and never leave.
At $159,300, this is one of the most compelling value propositions in Panama City real estate today — a brand-new, amenity-rich residence in a blue-chip location at a price that still leaves room for growth. Bella Vista apartments of this caliber rent quickly to professionals, remote workers and long-stay visitors, making this as sound an investment as it is a lifestyle. Whether you're buying your first home in Panama, establishing a base before retirement, or adding a reliable rental to your portfolio, the ENERGY delivers on every front. Opportunities to buy property in Panama this well-positioned, at this entry point, do not stay quiet for long.

Neighborhood

It's the neighborhood where expats, professionals and lifelong Panamanians share the same corner bakery. Everything you need is within a ten-minute radius; everything you want is within twenty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly am I getting for $159,300?
A brand-new one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 43 m² with an exceptional 18 m² private terrace in the APTTA Active Apartments development. The price also buys access to the gym, pool, coworking space, Sky Lounge, grill area and smart lockers — amenities that typically command far higher price points in Bella Vista.
Is this a good rental investment?
Bella Vista is one of Panama City's strongest rental submarkets, driven by professionals, remote workers and medium-term expat tenants who prioritize metro access and building amenities. A well-appointed one-bedroom with a large private terrace is exactly the product that rents fastest in this segment. Our team can provide current comparable rental data on request.
Can foreigners buy property in Panama?
Yes. Panama grants foreign buyers the same ownership rights as citizens, with full titled ownership and no residency requirement to purchase. Transactions are handled through a Panamanian attorney and registered with the Public Registry, and DoPanama guides clients through every step.
Do I need a car living here?
Most residents of Bella Vista find a car entirely optional. Santo Tomás Metro, supermarkets, hospitals, restaurants and the Cinta Costera are all within walking distance, and the building includes dedicated facilities for bicycles, motorcycles and electric scooters for everything else.
How does the terrace change daily life here?
Dramatically. At 18 m², it functions as a genuine second living room — space for a dining table, lounge seating, a garden or a morning workout. In Panama's climate, outdoor living is possible year-round, which effectively makes this a 61 m² home.
