Lagoa.

Front-row on the lagoon, mountains on three sides.

About the area

Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Rio's most underrated luxury address — Cristo above, Corcovado at the door.

Lagoa wraps around the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon, with Corcovado as the backdrop. Quieter than the beach neighborhoods, with bigger floor plans for the money.

We work the lagoon-front blocks — Avenida Borges de Medeiros and Avenida Epitácio Pessoa — for buyers who want view + space.
