The quietest neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires

The City of Buenos Aires is composed of 48 neighbourhoods. Each of them has its history, its characteristics and its distinctions that make each of them unique. One of the characteristics that people look for in a neighbourhood is the level of noise (or silence) it has. We will now mention some of the quietest neighbourhoods of the City of Buenos Aires.

For starters, the neighbourhood of Versailles is considered the quietest of the whole City of Buenos Aires. This neighbourhood of Buenos Aires is located in the South-West area of the City. The reasons why the neighbourhood of Versailles is considered the quietest is because: it is a residential neighbourhood; it only has 3 avenues; and it is not allowed to construct buildings of more than 3 stories.

Another neighbourhood that could be considered really quiet is Villa Devoto, next to Versailles. This neighbourhood is really quiet, although it will depend how far you are from the avenues (where it can be a bit noisier). Villa Devoto is also a residential area and it used to be forbidden to build high buildings, so although there are some tall ones now, the constructions are still generally lower than in other neighborhoods.

Another neighbourhood of Buenos Aires that is quiet is Puerto Madero. This building is a bit separated from the city and it is located by the river, so it is naturally aisolated, which allows it to be quieter than other places of Buenos Aires. Despite having really tall buildings, Puerto Madero is quiet (and also quite expensive).

An area within the neighbourhood of Recoleta named “La Isla” (the island) could also be considered a quiet place, since there isn’t much traffic going on those areas. Still, it is also expensive.

Despite the boom in construction during the last few years, some neighbourhoods are still quiet and calm… Let’s hope this continues like that for a long time.
