San José de Carrasco, Residential neighborhood in Ciudad de la Costa, Uruguay

San Jose de Carrasco is a residential neighborhood in Ciudad de la Costa that stretches between kilometers 20 and 21 along Avenida Luis Giannattasio. The Rio de la Plata forms its southern boundary while Ruta Interbalnearia marks the northern edge.

In the 1940s Manuel Lamas sold 196 hectares to José Francisco Daprile, backed by Pablo Milans and the Banco San José, and the Barrio-Jardín took its name from the bank and from Carrasco's eastward spread. Surveyor Carlos Baccino's plans were approved in 1947, requiring 10% of the land as open space, and the first parador, El Viejo Pancho, opened in 1948. After Perón closed the Argentine border in 1950, Daprile and Milans auctioned 182 lots north of Avenida Italia, bought mainly by Montevideans who arrived in force in the early 1970s.

The Church of Our Lady of the Angels anchors the heart of this neighborhood and serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community. It represents a focal point in the rhythm of daily life here.

The main commercial and service activities line Avenida Luis Giannattasio, which runs through the neighbourhood between kilometres 20 and 21 from central Montevideo. The Rambla Costanera borders the Río de la Plata to the south, while Ruta Interbalnearia marks the northern rim. The Costa Urbana Shopping and civic centre stands at the junction of Giannattasio and Avenida Aerosur.

The neighbourhood's name combines that of the Banco San José, which backed the purchase, with the eastward spread of Carrasco. The first parador, El Viejo Pancho, opened in 1948 at Aerosur and Avenida Italia. In 2011 the Costa Urbana Shopping and Civic Centre opened at Giannattasio and Aerosur.
