Campestre (Ciudad Juárez)

Campestre is an area of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Historically, it was a country club area of the city. Drug violence forced many people to flee the area. By 2010 many "for rent" and "for sale" signs were seen in the neighborhood. Residents placed large boulders in the streets to deter would-be extortionists and kidnappers.[1] After the recuperation of the city and the decrease of violence houses were gradually occupied and boulders removed. The area was again restored to become traditionally the luxurious area of Cuidad Juarez.
