Definitions tagged viviendas in the street dictionary.

material noble

This term refers to the combination of bricks, cement, and concrete used as permanent construction materials. (In Peru, it is used to distinguish solid, modern structures from more precarious housing built with adobe, wood, or reed mats).

Peru is a seismic country, which is why adobe houses face a risk that those built with material noble do not.

Caserios

Public housing projects in Puerto Rico, typically home to low-income residents and associated with street thugs, prostitution, and drug spots. Caserios are known for crime, shootouts, and other illegal activities (these government-subsidized developments are the local equivalent of the projects).

As Hector says in his song Caserio: You hear shootouts in my Caserio, a couple of junkies are shaking off the cold, my partner, the big boss of the heaters, is now the feds most wanted.
