Altamira is an iconic sector of Chacao municipality in eastern Caracas. Its urban design centers on Plaza Altamira (officially Plaza Francia), a gathering point that articulates wide avenues, residential buildings from the 1950s through the 1980s, and a dense fabric of shops, restaurants, and offices. The area keeps its residential identity while hosting significant commercial activity.
The housing stock combines mid- to high-end residential buildings (including penthouses with views of the Ávila) with office towers, hotels, and street-level retail. Green spaces around Plaza Altamira and the Country Club, plus Metro access (Altamira station on line 1), make it one of the best-served areas in eastern Caracas.
Altamira is one of the corridors with the heaviest concentration of embassies, corporate offices, upscale restaurants, and international chains. Steady demand for both corporate and residential rentals keeps price-per-square-meter among the highest in the Caracas market.
