Apartments in Laureles, between the First and Second Park

LAURELES · LAURELES

What it's like to live in Laureles

The heart of Laureles organises itself around its two parks, linked by tree-lined streets laid out in curves — a 1940s urban design that is now its greatest asset. It is flat, shaded and completely walkable, something that barely exists elsewhere in Medellín.

Life here happens on the street: bakeries where neighbours have breakfast daily, plazas busy at all hours, and a café scene that grew without turning touristy. Time Out named it one of the world's coolest neighbourhoods, and yet it keeps a local character El Poblado lost long ago.

Housing is mid-rise buildings and older houses, with generous apartments and prices clearly below El Poblado for equivalent space.
