Is it possible to change the location of packages for NuGet?

Question

I have the following convention for most of my projects:

/src
    /Solution.sln
    /SolutionFolder
        /Project1
        /Project2
        /etc..
/lib

For .NET Core projects and Visual Studio 2017 I was able to restore all packages to relative path by providing this configuration:

  
    
  
  ... 

Based on my experience the lib folder was created on the same level where Nuget.config was found, no matter where sln file was. I tested and the behavior is same for command line dotnet restore, and Visual Studio 2017 rebuild
