Living in Caracas

Caracas is a city of areas: a valley that runs west to east, split between the Capital District and four municipalities of Miranda, each with a character of its own. From the historic center in Libertador to the shops of Chacao, from the families of Baruta to the hills of El Hatillo and the parks of Sucre. This guide helps you pick yours.

The essentials

  • A mountain backdrop

    A 2,765 m mountain stands between the city and the sea, and a cable car from 1955 lifts you past 2,000 m in about 15 minutes.

  • A valley from west to east

    The city stretches along the Guaire river valley, from Las Adjuntas in the west to Petare in the east. Where you live on that axis shapes your commute.

  • One line across it all

    Metro Line 1 runs across the city from west to east, from Propatria to Palo Verde, and the Metrocable and Cabletrén link it to San Agustín, Filas de Mariches and Petare.

  • What it costs

    Half of the houses for sale are listed between US$310,000 and US$880,000.

Areas of Caracas

Picking the area matters as much as picking the home. Start with what you are after, compare prices and step into the neighborhoods.

Climate in Caracas

Thanks to its altitude, Caracas is mild all year. January to April is dry; June to December brings over 100 mm of rain a month. In December and January comes the "Pacheco": fog and cooler nights.
