context_page_description: The Escandón neighborhood is one of the colonies of Mexico City that were founded at the beginning of the 19th century on crop terrains that were formerly part of the haciendas. This colony formed part of the Hacienda de la Condesa, being property of the family Escandón, who fractionated the terrains situated south of this. The colony is divided in two: Escandón I and Escandón II, because of its big extension. The first section is located from the Patriotismo Avenue and confines with the Tacubaya neighborhood; whereas the second section extends from the Viaducto Presidente Miguel Alemán and confines with the Condesa Neighborhood. Escandón II has greater economic and social success than its homologous.
  The colony still preserves some of the constructions that were built on the first half of the 20th century, particularly from architectural styles as: art decó, colonial Californian, and the neocolonial. At the north, given the vicinity to the Tacubaya neighborhood, some examples of constructions that correspond to the architecture ecléctica can be appreciated. The greater part of the buildings constructed around the middle of the 20th century correspond to apartment buildings.
context_section_description: The routes of the Network of Transport of Passengers (RTP) of the Federal District, that go through the neighborhood, correspond to the routes of the Zona SurPoniente M-15, and are the Route 13-To and the Route 115-To.
  The nearest subway stations belong to the ones of the line 9 of the Subway of Mexico City. Both are found  in the Northern part of the neighborhood and are the stations of Patriotismo and Chilpancingo, which is found in the limits of the Colonia Escandón with the Condesa and Roma.
  The stations of the Metrobús of the Federal District are located  in the eastern part of the colony, in the Insurgentes Sur Avenue, in the Line 1 (Red Line); La Piedad and Nuevo León which is linked to Line 2 (Purple Line) that is situated in the northern part of the neighborhood, which runs along the Benjamín Franklin Avenue. These stations are Nuevo León, Escandón and Patriotism.
  On 17 February 2010  the system Ecobici was inaugurated in the Federal District. The bike stations 77 (Choapan and Tamaulipas) and 83 (New León and Alfonso Reyes) are the nearest to the neighborhood.
  On 7 November 2011 the plan of enlargement of the service Ecobici was officially announced, with new stations to be added to Escandón.
  Since March 2015, the fourth generation stations of Ecobici were installed. Until December 2015 there were 11 stations existing in the neighborhood: 7 in Escandón II and 4 in Escandon I. These stations correspond to the 166, 167, 170 and 172 in Escandón I and 168, 169, 171, 173, 175, 181 and 182 in Escandón II.The roads were improved and new signals for cyclists were also installed.
