Avenidas Novas is a trendy, upmarket hotspot. Some might say it is similar to North Hollywood in LA. The neighborhood is predominantly, commercial. Although, it also provides housing for those with large enough budgets. Avenidas Novas is often alive with activity, with a great number of coworking spaces and a diverse expat community.
Avenidas Novas will place you at the pinnacle of Lisbon city-living. The public transport in the neighborhood is one of the best in Lisbon. This helps residents here feel connected to other areas of Lisbon. You can get all this, without the ‘tourist’ feeling you might get from more central areas.
