🇨🇴 Where to live in Medellín
Medellín's residential areas run from the upscale, expat-heavy slopes of El Poblado to the leafy grid streets of Laureles and the busy historic core downtown. South of the city, Envigado and Sabaneta keep a more traditional, family-oriented feel with parks and green space. Most of the areas listed sit within a ten-minute walk of a metro station.
