[1] The boundaries of Kypseli are set by Patission Street at the west, by Tourkovounia hill at the east, by the Municipality of Galatsi at the north and by Pedion Areos park at the south.

In such a house Konstantinos Kanaris, fighter of the Greek revolution and later prime minister of Greece, lived and died.

[citation needed] A clearly urban development of Kypseli began in the 1930s with the construction of family houses and the first modern apartment buildings in Athens.

[3] Adjacent large green areas such as Pedion Areos and Fokionos Negri Street pushed Kypseli to become an upmarket district with many apartment buildings built until the 1960s that addressed to the middle and upper-middle class.

Consequently, the value of real estate decreased even if high apartments on Fokionos Negri Street can be sold more expensively in comparison to the rest of the district.
