Providencia is the most popular commune to live in for foreigners in Santiago. Safe, central, dynamic and cosmopolitan, it’s a great area to meet people and go out. You will find the largest choice of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife spots. The residential part of Providencia is mostly composed of big upper class houses and new buildings.
Not as “touristic” as Providencia, foreigners love Ñuñoa for its relaxed lifestyle. With neighborhoods like Italia or Bellas artes, the commune is appreciated for its diversity. This middle class residential zone is a mix of nice houses, international restaurants, museums and parks. Thus, Ñuñoa is a good place to live in Santiago for students, nomads and young professionals.
