Why are apartments the main type of property for sale in Misericórdia?

In the Misericórdia neighborhood, most properties are apartments rather than large houses or palaces. This is because of changes that happened over time.

Historically, Misericórdia had many grand houses. However, as the city grew, these large buildings were often divided into smaller apartments to make space for more people to live there.

Today, the apartments in Misericórdia vary from older styles with historic details to more modern ones that still keep some of the original charm. The neighborhood is very popular because it is lively and full of local businesses, such as shops, restaurants, and bars. This makes it a great place to live, especially with good public transportation available.

Misericórdia is located between Santos in the west and Chiado in the east. The mix of history, culture, and convenience makes apartments the main type of property in this area.
