Living in the City of Buenos Aires or outside of it?


In the last few years, many people who lived in the City of Buenos Aires have decided that the city and its hustle and bustle weren’t the best way to live. Still, having the family and the workplace in the City of Buenos Aires made people consider moving out of the city but no too far from it. With that, many people decided that living on the other side of the “bridge” is a good alternative.

Some people decided to move into “country houses" (gated neighborhoods) outside the city, where they could feel safer and have nature around them. Others tried living in places like Tigre and fell in love with its river. The alternatives on where to live are plenty since Buenos Aires is huge.

Now, those who work in the City of Buenos Aires (especially in the downtown area), and live outside the city of Buenos Aires, should consider that it will take them longer to get to work. Still, many people would rather spend more time travelling to get to work (or home on the way back) and enjoy living in a quieter place. On the other hand, those who don’t enjoy traveling from one place to another on a daily basis should consider moving to another neighborhood within the City of Buenos Aires (a more residential and quiet neighborhood). Another thing you could consider is moving in the “Gran Buenos Aires” area (the municipalities that surround the City of Buenos Aires) near a train station or an avenue that has plenty of means of transport to get to work.

Nowadays, most neighborhoods and areas that surround the city of Buenos Aires have a great variety of options when it comes to moving around the area and its surroundings, and they also have many shops and supermarkets where you can get everything you need, so that is something to consider when moving.

Nonetheless, time is something to consider, and whether you are willing to waiste time travelling or not. If you work from home, that will not be a problem; you may move any place you like within the city of Buenso Aires or outside. Last, something to consider before moving outside the City is the cultural alternatives you have within the city and outside the city… specially those who enjoy going out at night.
