FIVE and FIVE for MY hood...Woo hoo! And now you really understand why I LOVE living in Lisboa!! So, I totally agree with your assessment based on first hand experience and you know this!! Only turn off for some people is the plane traffic, but it is not all day/night and it doesn't really bother us. Is it too far north...No, it's perfect! This area proves that Lisboa is not all packed, noisy and touristy! Oh, and we are right next door to Campo Grande and Colombo if you are into sports and shopping. And there are a lot of young people because there are a lot of universities in the area between Entrecampos and Campo Grande! Area is superb and a 10 if you ask me!! 😉

Great video! Just a few considerations: the hospital for cancer treatment is called IPO-Instituto Português de Oncologia. Although it shows on the map Hospital de Sandra, I have no idea why it appears that way. I’ve been living nearby all my life, my mum actually worked there for 36 years and I’ve never heard that being called that way before. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also, El Corte Inglês is a more of a department store, not really a mall. I’m so glad you liked Avenidas Novas. It certainly is a great neighborhood to live. 😉👍🏻

Thanks! We can't really control what Google Earth shows so our Portuguese editor on this one just used what she could.

Thanks K&J for another comprehensive and well-balanced overview of this Lisbon neighborhood. 👍🏻 In retrospect, we missed a few hot spots (e.g., Crushed Donuts and Cortes d’Ingles 😁). Both apartments were on the western fringes of this area (perhaps just outside) and were too close to the flight path. During our next trip to PT (whenever that happens 🤷) we’ll drift more towards the east and re-evaluate. 🤔 Appreciate your judgement, work and assistance in helping us better understand where we should consider living if we decide Lisbon in the place for us. Cheers. 🎉

You're welcome! Thank you very much for the feedback on this one. It's interesting that you were able to miss El Corte Ingles. It's very prominent in its area of the neighborhood. But if you were only in one part looking at an apartment or two and didn't get a chance to walk around, that would make sense. Tough thing is, you'll still hear airplanes so you might not like it. - Josh & Kalie

It's the current range (starting price) you can find on idealista.pt but if you're going through a specific realtor or directly to agents, you'll obviously be seeing the inventory they're carrying.

The criteria was simply T1 and T3 in the neighborhoods. - Josh & Kalie

I do love your videos, but as someone who is looking to move there, I cannot make out which neighborhood u are talking about frequently. At least put the name up over the video so viewers like me can know. Especially since your audio is very very low in volume. I Still don't know where, what neighborhood you were talking about after listening and reading transcript!!! That is NOT useful to me. Sometimes I will try to find what neighborhood u ate talking about by looking up some of the buildings or parks you mention, but that doesn't give me the neighborhood you ate actually speaking about! I find it exceptionally frustrating because I love the content of your videos- just which I knew what neighborhood u r talking about!!

Hi Jenifer, at the very beginning of each video in this series we put the name of the neighborhood. Each of the 5 videos is solely focused on that neighborhood even though we might mention an adjacent neighborhood. We do not put CC as that's something automatic from KZfaq. The name of the neighborhood is also in the description section of each video. - Josh & Kalie

Your information is so... ignorant of Lisbon! Lisbon is NOT expanding north to the Avenidas Novas. It expanded to this area more than a century ago... from the end of the 19th century, so this means from the late 1800s. Most of that growth and expansion was completed by the middle of the 20th century (around 1950). This area is characterized by beautiful examples of Art Deco architecture and this is its main attraction for folks who know & appreciate art. Refurbished flats still maintain the beautiful elegance of large & light spaces, with simple lines. The reason why not many young people live in Avenidas Novas is because most flats & houses are quite large and therefore expensive but this is the area their parents, grandparents and older relatives still live. (Nothing to do with fast food, even the young portuguese don't appreciate that much). Many of these properties have already been refurbished and divided into smaller flats and are available to buy & rent. This area in NOT the north of Lisbon. This IS Central Lisbon. The north is Lumiar, Alto de Lisboa, Odivelas, St. Antonio dos Cavaleiros, etc. If you live or work around here (as I did for many years), you'll take around 10 minutes by bus or tube to get to Baixa. You can also walk there in less than 30 minutes. Next time try to do a bit more research before posting rubbish.

We have an explanation for your points but it would probably just start an endless argument. - Josh & Kalie
