In the case of Valparaíso selective urban renovation in urban heritage areas such as the Concepción and Alegre hills driven by the tourist and real estate industries and promoted by the state through programmes and subsidies. From such interventions, large homes changed from residential to tourist use, becoming hotels, restaurants, handicraft stores, gradually transforming residential neighborhoods into enclaves for tourism. This paper seeks to understand how inhabitants have experienced these changes and what it means for them. Through sixty interviews with residents of the Concepción and Alegre hills, the impact of tourism and real estate transformations on the quality of life of inhabitants is analyzed. The results show an urban and social reconversion that has valorized their homes and improved equipment and urban services in these sectors, while discontent over the loss of neighborhood life and forms of vulnerability of historical residents with economic difficulties to conserve and maintain their homes Las áreas históricas de las ciudades latinoamericanas experimentan procesos de transformación urbana. En el caso de Valparaíso (Chile) se trata de una renovación urbana selectiva en zonas de valor patrimonial como los cerros Alegre y Concepción, impulsadas por la industria turística-inmobiliaria y promovidas por el Estado mediante programas y subsidios. A partir de estas iniciativas, casonas mutaron desde usos residenciales a turísticos, arribaron hoteles, restaurantes, tiendas de artesanía, transformando gradualmente cerros residenciales en un enclave turístico. Este artículo busca comprender cómo el habitante experimentó y significa estos cambios. Mediante sesenta entrevistas con habitantes de los cerros Concepción y Alegre se analiza el impacto de estas transformaciones en la calidad de vida y procesos de desplazamiento de habitantes. Los resultados muestran un giro hacia el turismo que ha valorizado sus viviendas y mejorado el equipamiento urbano, al tiempo que asoma un descontento por la pérdida de vida de barrio y formas de vulnerabilidad de residentes históricos con dificultades económicas para conservar y mantener sus viviendas.
