🇵🇪 Where to live in Lima

Lima's residential districts split roughly between the coastal strip and the inland valleys and foothills. Along the sea are Miraflores with its clifftop malecon, bohemian Barranco, and compact Magdalena del Mar with its newer towers. Inland, San Isidro is polished and business-focused, San Borja and Santiago de Surco are orderly and green, La Molina sits against the foothills, and Centro Historico, Surquillo and Jesus Maria each keep a more everyday, working character.

Which area suits whom

Barranco

Suits someone who wants street art, bars and a seaside setting rather than a quiet block.

La Molina

Fits households after gated foothill calm and the sunniest weather in the city, with universities nearby.
