Lomas Verdes

The neighborhood consists of several sections: La Alteña I, II and III, La Soledad, Misiones, and the sections I, II, III, IV, V and the now in construction sección VI. To the North, Lomas Verdes borders the county of Atizapán de Zaragoza, to the south and the west with other neighborhoods of Naucalpan, and to the east with the ancient colonial town of Santa Cruz del Monte. After its foundation, Lomas Verdes was a so-called "bedroom community", as the majority of the residents commute México City (7 miles far away) for work. Today, twenty years after its founding, there is a strong commercial and services sector in the zone. The most important artery serving the area is the Súper Avenida Lomas Verdes, which connects the neighborhood with the Periferico and the elevated highway that leads directly into the heart of Mexico City.
