Jardim América, Residential neighborhood in western São Paulo, Brazil.
Jardim América is a residential neighborhood in western São Paulo with wide tree-lined streets, spacious lots, and geometrically laid-out gardens throughout. The entire district follows a carefully designed urban plan with green spaces that define the living environment.
British architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin designed the neighborhood in 1913 following garden-city principles. Construction continued under local management until completion in 1929.
The Nossa Senhora do Brasil Church with its colonial baroque style has shaped the neighborhood's character since the 1940s. It remains an important gathering place for the community's social and religious occasions.
The neighborhood sits along major thoroughfares including Avenida Nove de Julho, Brasil, and Rebouças, which connect easily to other parts of the city. Getting around by car is straightforward, and public transportation reaches the area well.
The neighborhood hosts five international consulates within its boundaries, including those of Portugal, Spain, China, Angola, and Uruguay. This diplomatic presence makes it a cosmopolitan location within the city.
