In the real estate offer, six of these homes stand out for their large gardens, swimming pools, outbuildings, play areas, parking for several cars and spaces suitable for teleworking, although they are not the most abundant option in the Buenos Aires market.

Among the most expensive there are houses of different styles and also the avant-garde, minimalist ones that connect, above all, the interior with the exterior through large windows.
It is estimated that 80% of the population in the City of Buenos Aires resides in high-rise buildings, but a smaller percentage chooses to live in one, two or three-story buildings, dispersed in various neighborhoods. Currently, there are approximately 6,000 houses for sale in Buenos Aires, highlighting those that are luxury, in various architectural styles and for those who prefer, and have the economic possibility, of residing outside the scope of horizontal property.
The most expensive are located in neighborhoods such as Belgrano, Palermo or Núñez , especially in the northern corridor of the city. Some exhibit classic, imposing and avant-garde European layouts. Others underwent a complete renovation, incorporating comforts and modernity.
They are spacious and usually have multiple floors, more than 3 bedrooms, a park and pool, as well as social and private areas. In some cases, they were headquarters of embassies.
Among the most expensive is also the Basavilbaso House or Estrogamou Mansion, built in 1905 and designed in the Art Noveau style, which is valued at USD 10,000,000 and is very difficult to market.
Below is a list of 6 homes that are among the most sought-after in the city and that are offered on different real estate portals.

The first floor offers similar areas, highlighting the connection with a terrace balcony and the quality of the architectural details.”

It is 85 years old. In the search for luxurious residences to buy, demand focuses on large properties that really function as mansions and private hotels.

Built with the best materials of the time and the technological advances available, it symbolizes an era of extraordinary economic conditions.”
