PROPERTY SOLD

Palermo Soho Real Estate

Palermo Soho Apartment

PROPERTY SOLD

I recently came across a fantastic two bedroom apartment in Palermo Soho, the trendiest area of Buenos Aires right now. It also has a storage room and an extra toilet in addition to the bathroom. The property is what is called here a PH - or horizontal property.

The apartment is in the heart of Palermo Soho, just three blocks from Plaza Serrano, on Honduras street, which is one of the best in this area. For example, the property is within a few blocks of cool tango, in the form of the milongas held at the famous Salon Canning and La Viruta at the Armenian Club, many superb restaurants, bars and cafes, such as La Cabrera, Don Julio, The Diamond Bar and Janio Cafe (24 hrs), in addition to many cool shops and boutiques.

The property has 89 metres squared of covered floorspace, and an additional 23 metres squared uncovered, including a very nice, quiet terrace. The asking price is US $140,000.

Why Choose My Services?

 Of course, there are other Buenos Aires property consulting services out there, so the question is, why should you choose me over the others?

Personal, Flexible, Trustworthy…

Firstly, as an individual property consultant working solo, I am able to offer extremely personal, flexible services to the clients that I take on.

Part of my service is to go out and personally look at every piece of property I recommend to confirm that it is indeed a quality piece of real estate at a fair price.  I deal only in Argentine rates, shunning those who try to exploit ’foreigners’ from the USA or Europe.  In fact, in many cases I am even able to negotiate rates that are below the fair market value

Looking out for your interests only…

I only represent your interests in an independent and non biased fashion, and I WORK FOR JUST YOU ALONE, the buyer. I don’t represent the interests of any sellers or real estate agencies because I am not a realtor - instead I am purely an independent property consultant, looking out for your interests. I also will show you all the suitable properties available that match your requirements, from all of the real estate agencies, while most realtors only want to sell you what’s on their books, because this way they get higher commissions - pocketing more of your money for themselves!

Buenos Aires Real Estate

Unique, Experienced, Proven Service

My Buenos Aires Real Estate Search Service is completely unique, based on the experience and knowledge that I have acquired while helping many fellow expats and my clients to buy their new homes in Argentina.

What’s more, all of this can be backed up by both professional and personal references that detail what I am capable of, which I will provide if you are interested in working with me.

Palermo Properties

Palermo is the most popular barrio for foreign property purchases in Buenos Aires at present, and in itself contains many different sub-barrios that are each unique in their own right. Here are some property selections from a few of these areas (including Palermo Viejo, Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood, Palermo Chico and Las Canitas)…

Palermo Viejo

As its name suggests, the oldest part of Palermo. Centred on Plaza Palermo Viejo, the barrio reflects an older Spanish style in architecture, often “recycled” with modern elements. Well-known figures like Jorge Luis Borges and Che Guevara once lived in this area. Historically a residential area, these days it remains so but is also a great area for restaurants and trendy boutique shops.

San Telmo Properties

San Telmo (”St. Pedro González Telmo”) is one of the oldest barrios (neighborhoods) of Buenos Aires, and also one of the best preserved areas of that constantly changing Argentine metropolis, with a number of colonial houses and streets still paved with the original cobblestones. San Telmo’s many attractions include a number of old churches (e.g. San Pedro Telmo), museums, antique stores and a semi-permanent antiques fair (Feria de Antiguedades) in the bustling main public square, Plaza Dorrego. Tango-related activities for both locals and tourists also abound in the area.

Here are some property selections from across San Telmo…

Recoleta Properties

Recoleta is the upmarket, ‘old-money’ neighborhood of Buenos Aires, with many fabulous old mansions and wonderful, luxury hotels dotting the streets, in addition to upmarket cafes, restaurants and major label designer shops. It includes the famous Alvear Avenue, possibly the richest street in the city (and home to the Jockey Club), and Recoleta cemetery, a remarkable place where rich and famous Argentines are laid to rest in magnificent mausoleums (including Evita). The large majority of Recoleta’s streets are very clean and well-kept.

Upcoming Areas of Buenos Aires

Of course, there is much more to Buenos Aires than the famous name barrios of Palermo, Recoleta and San Telmo. There are many up and coming areas which offer just as much as there more famous neighbors, and from a property purchasing point of view, often at much better value. And of course, Buenos Aires is such an easy city to get around by bus, taxi or subway, that the rest of the city is still very much accessible from these areas. The barrios/areas that I see as most promising as of now are Boedo, Villa Crespo, Almagro, Parque Centenario, Congreso, Caballito and Coghlan . Here are some property selections from these areas:

Snow in Buenos Aires!

Buenos Aires sees its first snow for 89 years

For the first time since 1918, a whole 89 years ago, it is snowing in the city of Buenos Aires.

Today, July 9th, is the official independence day of Argentina. But, people seem to be celebrating the rare occurrence of snow in the city a lot more. I guess that independence day happens every year, whereas snowfall in Buenos Aires literally is a once in a lifetime thing!

Back in 1918, the snowfall looked like this, creating an idyllic scene in Plaza de Mayo:

Snow in Buenos Aires in 1918: Plaza de Mayo

This is what it looks like today, in Plaza Almagro, Buenos Aires:

Snow in Buenos Aires

And of course, the kids here in BA are having the time of their lives…

Kids love the snow

Finally, this being the modern Argentina, we can even have the pleasure of watching it snow in Buenos Aires in an online video, thanks to YouTube:

Tanghetto - New Tango taking Buenos Aires by storm

Tanghetto is a Tango band from Buenos Aires, and one of the most important on the “new tango” scene - producing a mix of tango and electronic music.

Started in 2001 by producer and songwriter Max Masri and composer and instrumentalist Diego S. Velázquez, the band’s lineup includes bandoneon, violoncello, acoustic piano, acoustic guitar, electronic and acoustic drums, samplers, and synthesizers.

Their first album, Emigrante (electrotango) was released in 2003, nominated for a Latin Grammy award in 2004, and then went platinum in Argentina in 2006.

In addition to being well known for their expert balancing of electronic and ethnic sounds, I think Tanghetto’s music also features some great melodies and interesting song structures.

Here is a video of one of my favorite Tanghetto tracks…
