Where to invest in Buenos Aires in 2026: a guide by neighbourhood

“Where should I buy?” is the question we hear most, and the right answer is never a neighbourhood: it's your goal. Looking for short-term rental income isn't the same as looking for long-term appreciation, and getting in with USD 80,000 isn't the same as with USD 300,000. Here's a practical guide to the city's neighbourhoods where there are real opportunities today, what each one offers and which developments we're marketing in each area.

Belgrano: the classic that never fails

Belgrano combines steady rental demand, good schools, transport links (train and subway) and a well-established neighbourhood identity. It's the “safest” profile: it appreciates steadily and always rents. Within Belgrano, Belgrano R and the area around Chinatown are the most sought after.

Ideal for the investor who prioritises predictability over aggressive returns. Developments in the area: CINCO (Av. Cramer 2451, Belgrano R, with over 770 m² of amenities) and MOOD Montañeses (Montañeses 2277, steps from Chinatown).

Palermo: maximum liquidity

Palermo —Hollywood and Soho— is the city's highest-turnover neighbourhood: there's always demand, both to buy and for short-term rental. It's the natural area for anyone after Airbnb or short-stay income, thanks to its food, nightlife and creative-office scene.

Ideal for short-term rental income and for anyone who values being able to resell quickly. Developments in the area: MOOD Niceto (Niceto Vega 5648), MOOD Humboldt (Humboldt 2363) and MOOD Bonpland (Bonpland 2214).

Villa Urquiza: the one that grew the most

Villa Urquiza was one of the fastest-developing neighbourhoods of the last decade: plenty of new construction, good connections (subway line B) and price per square metre still below Belgrano or Palermo. It's the best price-to-potential ratio for anyone getting in today.

Ideal for those seeking appreciation with a more accessible entry ticket. Developments in the area: Vía Holmberg (Holmberg 3454, the one with the most stock in our portfolio), Vía Juramento (Juramento 4266) and ANDO (Andonaegui 2129).

Núñez and Colegiales: on the rise

Two neighbourhoods with growing demand. Núñez offers proximity to the river and to Belgrano at somewhat lower values; Colegiales is the gateway to Palermo and Belgrano, with plenty of local life. Both are medium-term appreciation plays.

Developments in the area: MOOD Larralde and MOOD Quesada (Núñez), and Vía Cramer and MOOD Amenábar (Colegiales; the latter completed, with immediate delivery).

San Telmo: the coliving case

San Telmo is a case apart. It isn't a neighbourhood for the traditional long-let investor, but it is for the coliving model with a rental pool: downtown steps away, subway one block off and tens of thousands of students and workers around sustaining short-term rental demand all year round.

Development in the area: PEOPLE 9 de Julio (Bernardo de Irigoyen 1142), an investment coliving with managed rental income.

How to choose, in short

• Predictability and steady rental → Belgrano.
• Short-term rental income and liquidity → Palermo or San Telmo (coliving).
• Appreciation with an accessible ticket → Villa Urquiza, Núñez.
• Get in and earn right away, no construction → Colegiales (Amenábar, completed).

What matters isn't the trendy neighbourhood, but the one that fits your goal and your capital. Get in touch and we'll work out the option that suits you best.
