Nearly three million people visit Buenos Aires every year. This city of 15 million inhabitants offers high culture, a vibrant nightlife, a variety of gastronomic delights, music, art, along with the social bonding and friendship characteristic of Argentina culture. A particular ardent set of visitors are tango aficionados worldwide who flock to Buenos Aires, the birthplace of this uniquely intimate and improvised dance, to see and learn the “real thing.” Buenos Aires is also a gateway to some of the world’s most exciting natural destinations, such as the Iguazu Falls, famously beautiful wine country in Mendoza, the high plains of the north, to the southern glaciers and landscapes of Patagonia.
Both locals and foreigners can own property in Buenos Aires. The vast majority of real estate transactions are in US dollars. Locals buy property to live in, obviously, but also as a device to save in US dollars that is immune to fluctuations in the local currency. Many foreigners who come as tourists end up falling in love with the city and want to own their own foothold here. But Buenos Aires is also the right place for the savvy investor looking for the next opportunity. In addition to residential real estate, there are a variety of opportunities in commercial real estate. Investors might be interested in residential real estate. From the cool artsy stores in elegant shopping malls from the 1900s to the modern restaurant to be opened in the new hip neighborhood, there are plenty to pick from.
