The Name "Lomas"
Because "Lomas de Chapultepec" (originally called Chapultepec Heights) constituted a very successful small and neat neighborhood along with Bosques de las Lomas, further urban upscale developments in the surrounding areas took the name "Lomas" -Spanish for hills- to steal its glamour and induce people to think they were part of the "Lomas" complex and concept, and expanded the Lomas area into several new nearby neighborhoods. Some of the neighborhoods that stemmed from these expansions are Lomas de Tecamachalco, Lomas de la Herradura, Lomas de las Palmas, Lomas Anahuac, Lomas Altas, Lomas de Bezares, Lomas de Santa Fe and Lomas de Vistahermosa, with Lomas de Chapultepec being the original name and the best designed, planned and developed subdivision among them.
Today, the area encompassing Lomas and neghboring developments is sometimes incorrectly generally referred to as Lomas, though locals specify where they live in, be it Tecamachalco, Herradura, etc.
