Recently, Ñuñoa's many charms and convenient location have led to an increased desire by young urban professionals to live there. In response, developers have bought out older homes and erected multi-dwelling units, a practice that has triggered much criticism from long-time residents.[7] In 2007, Ñuñoa was cited for the third consecutive year as the district with the highest quality of life in Santiago.
