Vila Anglo
This neighborhood of immigrant and working class origin is reminiscent of a country town. This is because some of the streets are still cobbled, and the residents maintain a strong sense of community that is not easily found in the big city. Another point that makes the neighborhood one of the coziest are the squares, which host festivals and cultural events.
📍 West Zone
Jardim Los Angeles
In addition to being a residential neighborhood with a family profile, Jardim Los Angeles enchants with its tree-lined streets and calm – something increasingly rare in São Paulo! Here you’ll find a welcoming neighborhood, with several squares and neighborhood businesses.
📍 South Zone
Jardim Anália Franco
Another option among São Paulo’s cozy neighborhoods is Jardim Anália Franco, which has been making a name for itself as a gastronomic hub in recent times. An attraction not to be missed is Vila Anália, a complex that brings together restaurants, cultural festivals and live music performances.
📍 East Zone
Butantã
Its proximity to USP makes Butantã one of São Paulo’s youngest neighborhoods, but make no mistake: there is plenty to do beyond the university walls. Its tree-lined streets are an invitation for a contemplative stroll, and the area also has food trucks, museums, gardens and various gastronomic options.
📍 West Zone
Perdizes
It’s ideal for those looking for a balance between culture and peace and quiet, combining a residential profile with entertainment.
