I live in Lumiar, near Quinta das Conchas and I really like it! It is close enough to the center of Lisbon that you can get there quite easily (plenty of bus and metro stops here) and far enough away that it isn't too expensive and too turistic minded. -

I lived in Lumiar, in Sta Clara. That is a nice place, Bairro da Cruz vermelha is NOT. Its a slumber with a lot of drug dealers and nasty people. Quinta das conchas is ok but on the lower part near center of Lumiar. Sacavém is awfull also. - Filipe, November 2016
Lumiar is a bit outside the city center as well but you have the metro and near by Quinta das conchas which its park! Apartments there are more recent so better and bigger. - Rubens, April 2022
