They tend to be properties with extensions and have a barbecue and even commercial premises. An advantage is the savings in expenses. They are requested by professionals and large families and are present in several neighborhoods of the City. A gallery to appreciate what it's all about
By José Luis Cieri
The PHs are versatile and combine different environments that, together with parks, terraces or gardens, resemble a house.
PHs offer the closest experience to living in a house. These properties, known as “horizontal property,” gained popularity until they became one of the most sought-after types of housing for those who prefer to live in homes with large spaces, whether gardens, balconies or terraces, and even a highly appreciated barbecue.
Generally, they have more than 100 square meters covered and their great advantage is the absence of expense payments.
In the context of the oversupply in Buenos Aires, more than 8,500 properties are registered for sale, but the rental offer is considerably more limited, with only 250 properties available.
They are present in different neighborhoods, but especially in Palermo, Almagro, Villa Crespo, Chacarita, Villa Urquiza, Villa Devoto, Mataderos, Villa del Parque, Paternal, among others.
The construction of PH is still in force with buildings of up to 5 floors and prominent fronts, responding to the demand for units with terraced expansions and large spaces. This characteristic distinguishes them as an attractive option compared to conventional apartments.
Below is a list of 7 PH currently for sale and which are among the most sought-after in the Buenos Aires real estate offer.
