Újlipótváros 4.44

Újlipótváros is a neighborhood in the 13th district of Budapest, Hungary. It is located north to Lipótváros neighbourhood of the 5th District, with the Szent István Boulevard separating it from its southern neighbor, Lipótváros. It lies east of the river Danube, west of Terézváros, and south of Vizafogó. Unlike most other neighborhoods in the 13th district, Újlipótváros is considered part of the Budapest city center.HistoryPreviously an industrial area, it was rebuilt as a residential district from the late 1920s. Almost all of the buildings were built between 1927 and 1944. This makes Újlipótváros quite different from the other parts of the inner city, which were mainly built before World War I, mostly in the last three decades of the nineteenth century. The very first buildings of Újlipótváros (the so-called "Palatinus houses") are notable exceptions, these were built in 1910-1911, and represent an interesting mixture of art nouveau and other contemporary styles. 1It has been a popular middle-class/intellectual residential district ever since it was built.
