The calle Arturo Soria runs for 5.8 km through the east part of Madrid. With an almost North-South orientation, it defines a residential area with distinctive features in accordance with the idea of a Ciudad Lineal or "Linear City".

In particular, the stretch between the calle de Alcalá and the Pinar de Chamartín benefits from careful and harmonious urban planning: small open blocks with buildings of only three or four floors, open spaces, green areas, communal areas with gardens and swimming pools... Its elevated position - it is one of the highest areas in Madrid - the abundant vegetation and the luxuriant old trees ensure low levels of pollution, something which is aided by the fact that practically all the heating systems in the area are run on natural gas, with the corresponding absence of the harmful wastes from heating systems that use coal or oil.

And in the immediate vicinity is the biggest park in the capital, the park of Juan Carlos I, which among its facilities includes a golf course, a navigable river and a lake, together with large areas of well looked-after olive plantations and other trees.

The quality of construction of the houses in the area of Arturo Soria is one of the highest to be found in Madrid.

Small buildings, built mainly in the last ten years alternate with others which were built at the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, and which have already become emblematic of the area. In these buildings we can find the best dwellings in all the area, in terms of size, features, size of garden areas and the high level of services provided.
