Laureles-Estadio is one of Medellín’s most traditional districts: tree-lined streets, flat terrain, neighborhood life and easy connections across the city.
Laureles-Estadio is Comuna 11 of Medellín, west of the river. Its circular and transversal streets make it different from the rest of the city.
Each area solves a different need.
Want to walk to the park, the bakery and the café, on flat, shaded streets?
Laureles, Las Acacias, La Castellana and Los Conquistadores: tree-lined circular streets, houses and low-rise buildings. The quietest side of Laureles.
Like having sports, food and plans around the corner?
Shops, restaurants and bars along Avenida 70, next to the Atanasio Girardot stadium. Lots of life, also at night.
Study, teach or cross the city every day?
Close to UPB university and metro line B, with direct connections to downtown and the west of the city.
Thinking about how the city will move in the coming years?
Residential areas towards Avenida 80, where the new Metro de la 80 line is being built.
La 70 and the Primer Parque de Laureles are sector names, not official neighborhoods.
Laureles is one of the few areas of Medellín where you can walk on flat streets between parks, cafés, bakeries and local shops.
It appeals to families, professionals and people looking for a spacious house or apartment in a central location.
In Laureles, one or two blocks can change the noise and atmosphere a lot. Visit by day and by night.
If you buy a house, a lawyer checks the zoning rules before you plan to expand or build.
Renting by the night requires the building rules to allow it and a tourism registration.
Legal, tax and land-use matters are always reviewed with a professional for each case.

Mostly, yes. It is one of the reasons people love it: easy to walk and cycle.
No. Nightlife is concentrated along Avenida 70 and around the Primer Parque. Many circular streets are very quiet.
Yes. See how buying from abroad works.
