Loíza is one of the forty subbarrios of Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The urban pattern of this area has been eroded by construction on the south side of Baldorioty de Castro freeway which separated this area from Villa Palmeras neighborhood.

Before its construction many of the perpendicular streets south of Loíza continued ascending without interruption all the way to Avenida Eduardo Conde.

Although several institutional structures of architectonic value and historical importance are located mainly throughout calle Loíza, the community of Loíza is characterized by colorful homes of the populace, with some very good examples with front concrete verandahs.

The concentration and quality of these residences characterize Loíza as one of the best examples of vernacular “Santurce” architecture of intimate Caribbean influences.
