Charming fully renovated 2-bedroom apartment in the heart of Campolide

Campolide was once good farmland, where several country estates existed. Along the entire hillside there were olive groves, orchards and vineyards. Today these hills “hide” a quiet and safe neighborhood, with houses mostly from the 1970s. Almost the whole area is made up of apartment buildings, but there is a very interesting section (the Calçada dos Mestres neighborhood) overlooking the Águas Livres Aqueduct, where we find semi-detached houses with yards. Young people, older residents 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 street 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 quiet neighborhood, all the traffic coming from the city center passes through here, heading either south or to the Cascais line (and vice versa in the morning). And anyone taking this route will come across the Águas Livres Aqueduct, an iconic and grand 18th-century landmark of Lisbon, a complex system for capturing and distributing water to the city. A must-see for those who don’t 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.
