Mahmoudiyeh F
Mahmoudyeh, Mahmoodieh or Mahmoodiyeh is an affluent residential area in Tehran, located south of Zaferaniyeh, bordering Valiasr Avenue on the east side, Velenjak on the west, and Chamran expressway to the south. The area is in close proximity to Tajrish. Mahmoodieh was one of Shemiran's first areas to be used as a year-round residence by rich and affluent classes of the time (1950s).

It could be said that here the essence of money is not reflected as "wedding cake style" villas and trendy bronze-marble facades but in the siz ...
