Carrasco
Carrasco is the most exclusive and prestigious residential neighborhood in Montevideo. With its wide, tree-lined avenues, elegant villas, and the famous Sofitel Carrasco Hotel, this neighborhood embodies the upscale lifestyle of the Uruguayan upper class.
The neighborhood was planned as a garden city in the early 20th century and has preserved this character to this day. The architecture ranges from magnificent historic villas in Norman and English style to modern residences with all contemporary amenities.
Carrasco is home to the residences of many ambassadors, diplomats, and Uruguay's most successful entrepreneurs.
The Carrasco Lawn Tennis Club and the Carrasco Polo Club are social institutions of the neighborhood. The beach of Carrasco, although smaller than that of Pocitos, is one of the most beautiful in the city. The Sofitel Carrasco, a restored grand hotel from 1921, is an architectural jewel.
Real estate in Carrasco is among the most expensive in all of Uruguay. The spacious lots, safety, and first-class infrastructure make this neighborhood the first choice for discerning buyers. The proximity to Carrasco International Airport is an additional advantage for frequent travelers.
