Villa Urquiza and New Subway Station
Villa Urquiza is creating and reshaping its own unique personality and style with the arrival of new real estate developers and new ideas. A subway train extension to Villa Urquiza neighborhood has caused prices to go up as the area becomes a more and more prolific part of Porteño life.
Buenos Aires is a city made up of a tapestry of different neighborhoods. Each area of the city has a different feel and characteristics that define it within the sprawling boundaries of Buenos Aires. Villa Urquiza was traditionally a neighborhood that sat, almost forgotten, on the outskirts of the city. Nowadays and with the extension of the subway, Villa Urquiza is becoming one of the new hot neighborhoods, gaining interest from developers and buyers alike.
Villa Urquiza’s location on the edge of the city boundary gives it a unique look and feel: a combination of residential living with of all the conveniences of urban life. Clearly a suburban area, Villa Urquiza neighborhood is leafy, safe, relaxed and welcoming as an area. It’s important to stress the importance of the concept of neighborhood to Buenos Aires residents. Everyone wants to live the friendly neighborhood life here, as it reminds the people of the good old days of the past when there was less crime and they hadn’t been hit by the 2001 economic crisis.
The idea of living in neighborhood goes against the nature of Buenos Aires city life with its anonymous, high-rise apartment blocks positioned along noisy avenues. The friendly smiles and hellos from passing neighborhoods in Villa Urquiza is a welcome change from the busy pace of city life in the centre. Villa Urquiza neighborhood offers residents the chance to enjoy traditional, suburban life, which goes some way to explain the attraction to Villa Urquiza.
Another bonus that has boosted the sales real estate in Villa Urquiza is the construction of a B line subway station. The subway is extending the B line to include Villa Urquiza, giving residents here access to downtown Buenos Aires in less than half an hour. The subway (or subte as it’s known as in Buenos Aires) adds a huge amount of value to the real estate in Villa Urquiza and boosts the neighborhoods appeal to buyers and developers.
The amount of new property development in the area has been growing for several years, with Villa Urquiza receiving the third highest number of planning permission requests for new building projects. The extension of the subte extension in Villa Urquiza was announced a few years ago and work is set to be finished in 2011. The opening of this important transport link will boost business and attract buyers to this leafy and relaxed part of Buenos Aires.
