Carlos E. Restrepo, at one point, was a neighborhood very similar to others. With apartment buildings, parking, tiendas (corner stores), the normal paisa way.

Its name honors ex-President Carlos Eugenio Restrepo (1910-1914) buried in Cementerio de San Pedro.

The neighborhood is middle to upper class, located close to Calle 50 (Colombia) and Carrera 65, both high traffic roads with plenty of businesses.

What makes it so special, though, is its proximity to the National University in Medellín, thepublic library (Biblioteca Publica Piloto) and Universidad de Antioquia’s Arts Faculty, all of which attract students.
