Neighborhood growth: Villa Urquiza

During the last 5 years, the neighborhood of Villa Urquiza has grown a lot. Each day, there are more buildings and, to these days, there are only a few plots of land left to construct. According to some statistics, Villa Urquiza is the third neighborhood of the city that has had the greatest amount of constructions during the last eight years, after Palermo and Caballito.

One of the reasons why this neighborhood started to grow is the subway arrival. Since 2003, when the metro stations "Los Incas" and "Tronador" opened, Villa Urquiza started to become more noticeable. Likewise, according to what has been established, the metro line "B"will get to Monroe and Triunvirato, where people will be able to take the Mitre Train (branch J.L Suarez - Retiro). This has promoted that the construction companies began to build apartments in the area. Year after year, the number of new constructions in Villa Urquiza has increased significantly, which has provoked a raise in the prices of land and the apartments itself.

The neighborhood of Villa Urquiza delimits with the streets Av. De los Constituyentes, Av. de los Incas, Holmberg, and Crisólogo Larralde. The neighborhood has always been undermined by Saavedra and Belgrano, since they are very close and more popular. Nonetheless, as we have mentioned previously, since 2005, Villa Urquiza has increased the number of buildings and neighbors that has came to the area to live.

Besides the future subway connections, the neighborhood of Villa Urquiza offers a variety of fast routes to move around the city and get anywhere in a matter of minutes, since it has many accesses, such as Panamericana Highway and Av. General Paz.

On the other hand, besides the number of constructed new properties, the neighborhood has also grown in style; many people now request for properties of greater quality and comfort, which means that many apartments now offer amenities within the building.

It is expected that the neighborhood of Villa Urquiza continues to grow, both in the number of constructions and neighbors who live there. With the arrival of the subway, this is only a matter of time…
