Before living there, they lived at Calle 11. The pair named themselves Calle 13 after the street their family's house was on. Therefore, Visitante would identify himself as a visitor, while Residente would have to insist that he was a resident to clear the gate. Since the subsection is a gated community, visitors were routinely asked "¿Residente o visitante?" ("Resident or visitor?") by a security guard when approaching the community's main gate. When they were children, Visitante would visit his brother at the Calle 13 (13th Street) of the El Conquistador subsection of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico every week. The duo asserts that they lived a relatively comfortable lifestyle growing up, as Residente places himself in a group of Puerto Ricans who are "too poor to be rich and too rich to be poor." Although their parents later divorced, the stepbrothers remained close. The family developed strong ties to the Puerto Rican arts community Residente's mother, Flor Joglar de Gracia, was an actress in Teatro del Sesenta, a local acting troupe, while Visitante's father (who later became Residente's stepfather) is currently a lawyer, but at one time was a musician. Residente and Visitante met when they were both two years old, when Residente's mother married Visitante's father.
