Ciudad Jardín owes its name to the historic colonies of low houses built in the 1920s under the garden-city ideal: single-family homes with patios or gardens on intimate, tree-lined streets, today protected and highly coveted pieces.
The neighbourhood mixes those colonies (Iturbe, Prensa y Bellas Artes, among others) with mid-20th-century residential buildings, creating one of northern Madrid's most pleasant and singular urban landscapes.
Between Príncipe de Vergara and Avenida de América, it enjoys the proximity of Prosperidad and the López de Hoyos shopping axis, with metro lines 4, 7 and 9 along its perimeter.
