Mendoza Boulevard in Villa Urquiza R is the greatest attraction in the area with a gastronomic hub and new projects in development

They are a few blocks where a traditional residential area is combined with low houses and mansions that coexist with modern buildings with large spaces, but with few floors. Mendoza Boulevard is the heart of the top area of Villa Urquiza delimited by Olazábal Avenue and La Pampa, Ceretti and Ávalos streets.

Despite being a few blocks from the large commercial thoroughfare that is Triunvirato Avenue and the same from Olazábal Avenue, this sector of the neighborhood escapes noise and remains peaceful with a lot of greenery.

Both in the flower bed that crosses Mendoza Street and in all the blocks that surround it, there are abundant trees, bushes and vegetation. On the other hand, it is an area very close to Parque Chas , a sub-neighborhood with particular characteristics that make it an oasis in the heart of the city.

According to Manuel Mel, commercial manager of Mel Propiedades, the neighbors already identify it as Villa Urquiza R in clear allusion to the name given to the most exclusive sector of the neighboring Belgrano neighborhood (R for residential) . It is a quiet area inhabited mainly by families, some in the area forever, and others young people who are attracted by the new building projects with premium characteristics, with the comfort of many meters, the greenery and the peacefulness, but also the presence of nearby businesses, the wide commercial offer on Triunvirato and the varied gastronomic proposal on the same boulevard.

“It is a residential neighborhood where, in addition to houses, there is a proposal for apartments with typologies that prioritize the size of the meters . Generally, there are three- and four-room units that are very spacious, while in the newer projects there are one- and two-room units that are also spacious,” explains Mel. The latter seek to attract young professionals who, after the pandemic, choose to work and live in less bustling areas.

Mateo García, residential director of Toribio Achával, agrees that the Mendoza Boulevard area has the most select offering in the neighborhood. “There are many low houses there, some to be remodeled and that have already been valued. But arriving at the boulevard area we find more high-class buildings. Here the value of the square meter is above average. In recent years, a gastronomic center that develops on both sides of the boulevard has also been consolidated,” he maintains.

The streets are quiet, tree-lined and there are numerous squares and small squares that make it a pleasant and livable neighborhood,” explains the residential director of Toribio Achával.
