I looked at Bucaramanga for a month last fall examining the potential. Great weather, great food, great people, traffic not too bad, cost of living is moderate by Colombian standards. On the expensive side is the big condominium project at Ruitoque up on the mountain.
Very nice gated community that covers thousands of acres. One of the prettier pueblos. Within the city itself I like the Provincia section. Quiet, Estrado 3, safe to walk at night, great location to get to other parts of the city.
It has a very pretty parque with a lot of activity on the weekends. IMHO that's pretty important in these villages. Some of them have a sort of dead zone around their park. I can't explain it, but some of them are like deserted while others are so full of couples and kids and babies you can hardly walk. Lebrija is like that, wall to wall people in the parque. If you like outdoor sports like I do the Bucaramanga area offers plenty.
The record flight time for paragliding is 6 hours off Ruitoque. What is remarkable about that is you can float out over Bucaramanga for hours then glide back to a landing zone within a few hundred meters or where you launched. I heard a rumor of an 11 hour flight once, but I'm a bit dubious. Whitewater kayaking and rafting and gorgeous canyon scenery. There is a cable car across the canyon now that takes you up to a reconstructed colonial village. Muy bonito! Lots and lots of little charming villages in this region.
