Cordón neighborhood: rentals, universities, location and data
Cordón was Montevideo's first neighborhood expansion beyond the immediate surroundings of the former walled city. It is identified by Avenida 18 de Julio, educational and cultural institutions, the Tristán Narvaja market and connections with Centro, Tres Cruces and Parque Rodó.
Cordón combines 18 de Julio, universities, cultural spaces, shops and residential streets. Cordón Norte, Sur and Soho can orient listings but do not create separate official neighborhoods.

A brief history
Municipio B records that the area was known as El Cardal and that Bartolomé Mitre Martínez laid out about 60 blocks for settlement in 1765.
The land was marked with boundary cords, an origin the municipal source associates with the neighborhood's name.
