Living in Jardín Balbuena
Jardín Balbuena, in the Venustiano Carranza neighborhood, is an iconic area in eastern Mexico City. Developed in the 1950s and 60s as part of modernist projects by the National Bank of Public Works and Services (Banobras), with designs by architects like Mario Pani, it's famous for the Kennedy Housing Complex (the largest in the area), the historic Agustín Melgar Olympic Velodrome (a cycling venue in 1968), and the Jardín Balbuena Market, which serves as the commercial heart for thousands of residents. Here, multigenerational families live in apartment buildings surrounded by planters with California palm trees, safe pedestrian crossings for children, the Venustiano Carranza Sports Center with swimming pools and courts, and the House of Culture with art workshops. Despite its proximity to the airport, the area enjoys a temperate climate with lush vegetation.
