The town of Guillermo Hudson, in the Berazategui district and close to Quilmes, has attracted growing interest in recent years. These lands belonged to the Pereyra Iraola family and today are the epicenter of a real estate transformation that has given rise to more than 15 private neighborhoods.



Surrounded by greenery and just 35 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires, the area stands out for its great connectivity through the Buenos Aires-La Plata Highway and its access to Camino General Belgrano and Route 2.

The name of the area pays homage to Guillermo Enrique Hudson , a naturalist and writer born in Quilmes, Argentina, in 1841 and died in Worthing, England, in 1922. The area still preserves the old Hudson Malt House, visible from Route 2. Another real estate icon is the Abril Country Club, a pioneering urbanization that, since the late 1990s, has become one of the most sought-after developments in Argentina.



The progress of this area in the south of Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) is due to several factors. One of the most important is its excellent accessibility. The La Plata-Buenos Aires Highway easily connects this area with CABA, La Plata and surrounding areas and helped boost its growth.

In addition, improved routes to the Argentine coast allow many people to use Hudson as a starting point for weekend getaways, making it a very attractive place both to live and to invest, suburban real estate sources said.



Ignacio O'Keefe , director of Inmobiliaria O'Keefe, told Infobae that another key factor is the post-pandemic trend, which led people to seek spaces with greater contact with nature. “It has established itself as an ideal option for those seeking a quieter and more natural lifestyle, without losing connectivity with the city,” he said.

New residents and investors in private neighborhoods find the ideal combination in this area, as it is also close to service areas and shopping centers on Route 2.



Another key factor in the development of the area is the improvement in infrastructure and the availability of large plots of land, which facilitates the development of private neighborhoods and high-quality real estate projects.


Ariel Bechara Aded , from Bechara Inmobiliaria, said that the average price of a lot in the area is USD 120,000, with values starting at USD 70,000: “The main differences between the neighborhoods under development are found in the amenities they offer, such as internal lagoons, and improvements in accessibility from the highway to the entrances,” he explained.

Service areas and amenities are key to attracting new residents in private developments

Those who demand

Hudson, a classic in the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires, attracted families and new investors looking to work remotely or combine the hybrid work format with face-to-face days.

In more recent developments such as Altos de Hudson, lots of approximately 700 square meters start at USD 50,000, especially attracting young families looking for a safe and natural environment to raise their children. In more established neighborhoods, such as Hudson Park or El Carmencito, prices can exceed USD 80,000, depending on factors such as the size of the lot and its proximity to common areas or amenities.

Mariano García Malbrán , president of Keymex Latam and Argentina, highlighted that the demand comes not only from families seeking a better quality of life, but also from investors who see in Hudson a great potential for appreciation in the medium and long term. “It is an area in full development that offers competitive prices compared to other more traditional areas, which attracts both those looking to build their first home and those who want to take advantage of the investment opportunity.”

Buyers are divided into three main profiles: capital investors who buy in the ground to sell after the construction progresses, construction investors, who acquire lots and build houses to sell, "and end users who are looking to build their own home," O'Keefe said.

April Factor

Abril is the most established neighborhood in the area and was a pioneer in paving the way for development in Hudson. With more than 1,000 lots, today it has less than 3% of available land.

Large homes and footballers who buy or rent in Abril Club de Campo are usually the protagonists in this emblematic development in the area.

O'Keefe added: “Abril remains highly sought after for its combination of urban design, abundance of green space and diversity of amenities, making it one of the most exclusive and attractive neighbourhoods in the region.”

Its demand remains high thanks to its quality Masterplan , which includes large green spaces, a golf course and an equestrian sector, as well as a wide variety of amenities .

“Lots and properties there often exceed USD 400,000 for plots of more than 1,000 m2. Its reputation as a pioneer in the development of gated communities in Hudson continues to keep it at the top of the local real estate market,” added García Malbrán.

Between those who grow and those who arrive

Over the past 10 years, the supply of gated communities in Hudson has evolved considerably.

Aires de Hudson arrives with several sports proposals

“Developments such as Puerto Nizuc, Pueblos del Plata and Greenville Polo & Resort stand out (650 m2 plots range between USD 120,000 and USD 250,000), the latter with the opening of a hotel from a well-known chain and high-quality construction, condominiums, commercial premises and offices,” said Bechara Aded.

The lot proposal presents a wide variety of prices, depending on the neighborhood and its characteristics. While in Pueblos del Plata, the 600 m2 lots vary between USD 70,000 and USD 120,000.

Puerto Nizuc offers lots from 850 m2, with prices between USD 130,000 and USD 250,000; in neighborhoods such as Aires de Hudson, the plots start at USD 56,000, while in Abril Sur they start at USD 70,893.

It is estimated that in the coming years new developments will arrive to add to the current offer.

Prices vary depending on the progress of the works, location, amenities and accessibility. Neighborhoods such as Altos de Hudson offer lots from USD 50,000 for 700 m2, while in Hudson Park and El Carmencito, prices rise to USD 70,000 and USD 80,000, respectively, for larger plots.

García Malbrán concluded: “Hudson’s progress continues unabated and, in the coming years, more than 12 new neighbourhoods could be developed in the area, further consolidating its position as a high-demand real estate hub in the southern suburbs.”
