A french spot into Buenos Aires heart.
This is not about a science fiction movie; it is how one of the most aristocratic spot in Buenos Aires is named. âLa islaâ is a gorgeous and privileged area in the city, which shows all over the streets elegant and residential buildings with surrounding gardens. Located into La Recoleta neighborhood is specially known because of the hill where this whole area ItÂŽs on. The stillness of the streets is because the of lower traffic and the beautiful constructions with European air grants a unique style that justifies âThe little Parisâ as a nickname.
Nowadays, the area boasts luxurious buildings, embassies, and many historic and emblematic facades from the golden beginning of XX century in Argentina. By stairway is the main access going through the Plaza Mitre on Ave. del Libertador, next to the British Embassy. As this is a very delimited zone, ainÂŽt no more grounds to build and the properties are valued as the most highest in the city (similar with Puerto Madero area). The price depends so much on the street, the building and flat characteristics as if the property is French style or modern. Talking about size, some properties are larger than 6500 ft2. This is the reason because the decision about sale or buying takes longer than other areas. The neighbors are very loyal and the offers very limited. The area is not just exclusive for their high price, furthermore because it keeps a constant style unalterable from ever. Is not very usual that locals plan to move from this place except when necessary moving to other countries or to a ranch in Argentina. Some owners living abroad had chosen to offer their properties for temporary furnished rental.
This is a very good chance for foreign people to spend some time during the stay enjoying the atmosphere and charming place. There are many attractive places in the area as the Evita Peron monument, the National Library (with a amazing view over the port and Rio de la Plata), and just 4 block away the Recoleta Cementery and a few more to the MALBA (Latin American Modern Art Museum).
