The front line of Ipanema beach and the most expensive address in the neighbourhood. Penthouses here are large, rarely for sale and usually have a pool facing the sea, the Dois Irmãos and the islands.
The rocky point between Ipanema and Copacabana, famous for its sunsets. A penthouse here looks along the whole of Ipanema beach to the Dois Irmãos, and the streets are short and quiet.
Rua Farme de Amoedo, Rua Barão da Torre, Rua Maria Quitéria and their neighbours hold most of the penthouses in Ipanema: duplexes and triplexes with a terrace, often with a pool and a view of Christ the Redeemer or the sea. This is where the entry prices are.
Towards Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, on Avenida Epitácio Pessoa and the streets nearby, penthouses look over the water to Christ the Redeemer. Quieter than the beach side and still a short walk from it.

Before you buy
Check that the private area in the RGI matches what you see. Terraces, upper levels and pools added over the years are not always registered, and an unregistered extension can delay the sale or the financing.
On a top floor, water is the main risk. Ask when the terrace was last waterproofed, whether the building approved the pool and whether there were leaks into the flat below.
Both are usually higher than for the apartments below, because the condominium fee follows the share of the building and the IPTU follows the area. Ask for the latest bills before you make an offer.
In many duplex penthouses the lift stops at the lower floor. Check how you reach the terrace, how furniture gets up and whether there is a service lift.
