Barrio Lagos

About

Barrio Lagos is a residential development in Parque Miramar (Ciudad de la Costa, Canelones), on the edge of Montevideo. It is laid out around two large lakes, in East and West sectors, with about 120 lots of 500 to 2,000 m²; most have water views or direct access to the water. The urban design is by the Gómez Platero studio, which lists the project as completed in 2010.

A bridge over the Carrasco stream links it to Carrasco Norte, with quick access to Avenida Italia, Portones Shopping, the Géant hypermarket in Parque Roosevelt, schools and Carrasco airport.

The lakes are used for sailing, kayaking, rowing and fishing under the internal rules. Utilities run underground, streets and paths are integrated into the landscape and there are extensive green areas. Shared architectural guidelines keep the look consistent.

Security and video surveillance run 24 hours a day; common charges cover waste collection and upkeep of shared spaces. No club house or shared sports facilities are advertised.

It is an established neighbourhood of contemporary houses, with a few apartment buildings on the lake edges. Prices and common charges vary with each property's location and size.
