🇨🇱 Where to live in Santiago
Santiago's residential areas run from the dense civic core outward to quieter foothill streets. Central quarters like Lastarria, Bellavista and Centro Historico put museums, markets and nightlife within walking distance, while Providencia and Nunoa sit in the middle ground with shops, offices and family streets. Further out, Las Condes (El Golf) is built around business towers, and Vitacura and La Reina are more residential and green.
