The Vedado is probably one of the areas with more casas particulars for rent, chambers, private areas, or entire homes, without counting the sales.
The Vedado is one of the neighborhoods of Plaza de la Revolución borough or simply Plaza. It's one of the most popular zones of Havana from the tourist's point of view. It's in fact, the modern center of the city, the downtown, because, as it happen with many capital cities of Americas, there are two centers, the traditional and classic, which is Old Havana and and the modern, as we will see.
The Vedado is no more a residential zone, but it is a true downtown. Miramar and Nuevo Vedado are the residential areas of Havana, but the Vedado is the neighborhood of entertainment, nigh life, but also nature, ministries, working centers, national monuments and famous avenues. We could write several page on the virtues of the Vedado, the modern downtown of Havana.
The zone is divided in two areas, the first from Paseo Avenue to Malecon Littoral is called "letter zone" because all the vertical streets and avenues are named after an alphabet letter (from A to P), while from Paseo Avenue the limit with the Playa municipality, all the vertical streets are identified by an even number (from 2 to 30) and this is the "number zone", more peripheral and less prestigious, but still important. In this zone, the most important streets are 12th Avenue and 26th Avenue, which is also the Nuevo Vedado main avenue.
From the houses point of view, the Vedado is the neighborhood of high buildings, prestigious apartments and great views, while Miramar is more a place of garden and garage houses (sometimes swimming pools). We can say the same for Nuevo Vedado, maybe even more. If you are a dynamic person and you want to be in the middle of everything, then The Vedado is for you. And, if space and comfort are very important for you, you like quiet zone and you also need to be closer to some business place, then Miramar is your best friend.
