The construction of apartments in private neighborhoods continues to boom, with an offer oriented towards the comfort and security of the suburban environment. With modern amenities, green spaces and recreational areas, these developments attract families and professionals in search of quality of life outside of large cities.
Currently, more than 3,000 apartments are in various stages of construction, reflecting the high demand for modern housing. Designed to offer comfort and exclusivity, purchase and sale prices vary according to location and amenities offered.
Among the projects is Árboris in Remeros Beach, Tigre, which offers 2- and 3-room apartments for pre-sale from USD 210,000 and USD 280,000, with delivery in 2026. Its main attraction is a 4-hectare Crystal Lagoons, which creates a beach environment and responds to the demand for suburban living with luxury amenities.
Lucas Rodríguez, from Vizora Desarrollos Inmobiliarios, highlighted that the lagoon and the location are key to demand, especially among families and also investors looking for options in the well. The project has a unique financing system in pesos: a 20-year loan in 240 installments or 15 fixed installments in dollars.
“Money laundering for real estate developments made this financing more attractive,” explained Rodríguez, adapting to an evolving market.
For those interested in renting, current prices for apartments at Remeros Beach are USD 600 for 2-room units and USD 900 for 3-room units, with furnished and unfurnished options. Expenses, which vary between $200,000 and $400,000 depending on the size of the unit, include access to all of the complexs services: from the beach and water sports to sports and recreational areas.
Another proposal is Terrazas de Santa María in the Villa Nueva complex in Tigre (located in the area of ??the same name, one of the most thriving in the north of Greater Buenos Aires, GBA), with 2 and 3-room apartments and delivery in March 2025. With a growing demand for housing in green areas and low-maintenance amenities, cash prices start at USD 100,948 for 2-room apartments and USD 155,864 for 3-room apartments, both with balcony and garage.
José Iribarren, commercial director of Eidico, highlighted that the attraction of Terrazas de Santa María is in the green surroundings and the common areas that are reminiscent of a gated community, but with lower costs. “These complexes encourage community life and include a swimming pool, solarium and common gardens,” he said.
The units are designed with quality details such as DVH (double hermetic glass) enclosures and porcelain floors, ideal for those who value modernity and comfort. Each apartment is delivered with Split-type air conditioning, an added value that facilitates immediate use.
Demand includes young people looking to become independent, couples in training, older people who want to reduce maintenance costs, and a high percentage of investors.
As for financing, a 40% advance payment is offered and the balance in 24 fixed installments in dollars, a scheme that attracts home buyers and investors looking to protect capital in properties.

Destination in Pilar
In Pilar, one of the districts with the most urbanizations in the GBA, the Luciérnagas Pilar project is moving forward with an average price of USD 2,500 per m2 for its 2 and 3-room apartments, which offer ample spaces, high-quality finishes and views of the natural surroundings.
Héctor Condomiña, the development’s commercial director, explained that connectivity and the option to work from home are key. “Our proposal combines a strategic location close to shopping centers, universities and a quiet environment.”
The units include DVH openings, balconies with grills and details aimed at creating a living experience in contact with nature.
The project offers financing with a 30% down payment, 24 to 30-month installments adjusted by CAC in pesos or dollars, and a final balance of 10% upon delivery. Rents vary between USD 400 and USD 800 per month depending on the characteristics of each unit and amenities. “Expenses will be low thanks to technological solutions that reduce costs and optimize energy consumption,” added Condomiña.
Also in the north of the Buenos Aires suburbs, Pilar Lagoon is advancing with 2 and 3-room apartments that include access to beach amenities, lagoon and water sports. Prices start at USD 120,000 for 2-room units and USD 153,450 for 3-room units, which include a garden or terrace, balcony with grill and garage.

Luis Signoris, general manager of CGF, commented that “demand has increased since the pandemic, when more families opted for green areas. Deliveries are scheduled in phases: Condominio Plaza in November 2024, Condominio Serena in December 2025 and Condominio Laguna in August 2026.”
Annual rents range from USD 650 to USD 800 per month, doubling during high season.
The design prioritizes connection with the environment, with floor-to-ceiling apartments, glass balconies and direct views of the lagoon. The 2-room units have 80 m2, the 3-room units exceed 95 m2 and the 4-room units reach 130 m2.
“Financing varies by condominium; for Condominio Serena, a 35% advance payment and 24 installments in pesos adjusted by the Argentine Chamber of Construction (CAC) Index are offered, and for Condominio Laguna, the same advance payment with 30 installments in pesos + CAC. Flexibility facilitates access to this exclusive property in the area,” Signoris added.

The prices for sale “in the pit” for 2-room units range between USD 75,000 and USD 175,000, while the 3-room units range between USD 200,000 and USD 300,000, depending on the characteristics of the project. These values ??respond to a growing demand from buyers looking for quality of life in green areas.
Felipe Agüero, from Compañía Inmobiliaria, said that the interest in these developments “is due to the growth of infrastructure and services in the area, which allow for greater connection with urban areas without losing the natural environment. More and more families are looking to live in places with large outdoor spaces and away from noise, but with quality services at hand.”
The profile of buyers is diverse and includes both those seeking a permanent residence and investors attracted by the rental potential.

As for the features, the apartments in City Bell stand out for their large surfaces and high-quality finishes, with details such as PVC openings with double hermetic glass, heating by radiators or radiant slab, and top-of-the-line faucets.
“These elements respond to the demand of buyers seeking a higher standard of living. In addition, the three-room units offer around 90 m2, significantly more than the options in the centre of La Plata,” Agüero explained.
Developed by TST, it offers a financing scheme in which 50% of the price is paid at the time of purchase and the balance in 24 installments in pesos adjusted by the CAC index. |
