agree with whoanellie.....conjuntos can be any size, the one I live in has 40 attached houses that are either two and three stories, some have roof gardens. Some of the houses have an apartment with a separate entrance, like a duplex. There are probably 50 or 60 families here. We have a gated driveway and a doorman on duty all the time.
I lived in another conjuntos in Pereira that had five high rise buildings, and in Medellin I lived in a conjuntos that had only 12 apartments but no doorman, just a locked gate out front that automatically closed after you went through.
the advantages for me are higher estrato so families are a little more educated and some of their kids are my students so I get to know the families pretty well. The doorman is not armed, but would quickly call the police if something unusual was going on. There is a fence around the development with a concertina wire on top. I don´t like the fence or the wire, but it does keep out the beggars and the street dogs. It also separates us from the noise of the dogs and roosters outside the development, and there aren´t any buses with screaming brakes or roaring motors all night long, or big loud trucks. People here are very nice and I feel welcome when I see them on the street or outside their houses.
