Ciudad Jardín Lomas del Palomar is an unusual, colorful, socially mixed and lively neighbourhood of about 6,650 families in an area of 2.4 km2 (0.93 sq mi).

Inspired by the Garden city movement, its layout is designed on a pedestrian scale with compact residential areas made up of tile roofed row style and free standing chalets in tree-lined streets and boulevards.

There are three arcaded three-storey residential-commercial plazas (town squares) with central greenery, children's playgrounds, fountains and surrounded by shops, pubs and al fresco dining restaurants.
