3 Room Apartment in Campolide

Campolide was once good farmland, with several country estates. Along the whole hillside there were olive groves, orchards, and vineyards. Today these hills “hide” a quiet, safe neighborhood, with houses mostly from the 1970s. Almost the entire area is made up of apartment buildings, but there is a very interesting zone (the Calçada dos Mestres neighborhood) overlooking the Águas Livres Aqueduct, where you can find semi-detached houses with yards. Young people, seniors, and families live here. There is the flow of those who leave in the morning and return at night, but also of those who spend their days here: a trip to the corner grocery store, or to Amoreiras for other kinds of shopping. Most commerce is concentrated in this center, which a few years ago was the largest in the city. Although it is a calm neighborhood, all the traffic coming from the city center passes through here, heading either south or toward the Cascais line (and vice versa in the morning). And anyone taking that route will come across the Águas Livres Aqueduct, an emblematic and grand 18th-century work of Lisbon, a complex system for capturing and distributing water to the city. A must-see for anyone who does not know it. It is important to mention the presence of NOVA University Lisbon, which attracts young people to the area and has consequently helped develop local commerce and services.
