Districts
- Quinta Sección
- A residential district between the center and Parque General San Martin, with the bars and restaurants of Avenida Arístides Villanueva running through it. The park, shops and the center are all within a walk.
- Chacras de Coria
- A leafy village-like area in Luján de Cuyo, south of the city, with houses on large plots and a small plaza with cafes. Pleasant to stroll, but school, work and the weekly grocery run usually mean driving.
The trees live on irrigation: open channels called acequias run along the curb of almost every street, and they shape how you walk.
Guides to the best neighborhoods in Mendoza, Argentina mostly weigh those two against the center and Godoy Cruz next door. People looking for the best places to live in Mendoza, Argentina should know two local habits. Shops close for a long siesta in the afternoon and reopen in the evening, so the day is split in two. And the acequias are deep and often uncovered at corners: easy to step over in daylight, awkward with a stroller, a wheelchair or after dark.
A light rail line, the Metrotranvía, runs from Las Heras through the center to Godoy Cruz and Maipú; elsewhere it is buses. Scoring an address in Quinta Sección against one in Chacras shows the difference between living on foot and living by car.
