Neighborhoods
Where in Medellin should you live?
Honest neighborhood guides written for people moving here: prices per square meter, walkability, and what locals actually know. Laureles, Estadio and El Poblado first; Envigado is next.
Flat and walkable
Laureles
Flat, green and walkable, Laureles is the neighborhood most international buyers fall for: tree-lined streets, corner cafes, and apartment living without the hills.
Best value on the flat
Estadio
Laureles' energetic neighbor around the stadium: sports, students and some of the best-value apartments in the flat part of the city.
Upscale and high-rise
El Poblado
Medellín's upscale, high-rise district: leafy hills, the city's best-known restaurants, and the highest prices. Where most foreigners start.
