Ciudad Jardín

Inland district north of the historic centre, stretching along the Guadalmedina valley up to Jardin Botanico de la Concepcion.

Originated as a 1928 garden-city around Calle Emilio Thuillier; later grew with 1960s–80s apartments and hillside suburbs.

Main axis Avenida Jacinto Benavente; social hub at Plaza Jose Bergamin and Mercado Municipal.

Green backdrop of Monte de la Concepcion adds semi-rural feel.

Mixed working- and middle-class community, active associations, direct A-45 access.

Blend of 1920s single-family houses with gardens, 4–8-storey 1960s–80s blocks on Avenida Jacinto Benavente, and terraced homes along Miraflores hillside.

Few gated complexes; most streets open with ground-floor commerce.

Typical units 70–110 m²; many older buildings now retrofitted with lifts, insulation and fiber.

Occasional free plots for custom detached builds near Camino de Casabermeja.
