Can anybody tell me what its like living in Nordelta as a young single expat female?
Beautiful, peaceful, wide.
Nordelta used to be solely residential and solely family focused, but just a few months ago a new district was inaugurated with 1 and 2br condos, sidewalk cafes on a waterfront promenade.
The disco in the central parking district offers a much wider variety of imported AND local products.
I'm not a young single female, but I helped one carry some boxes to her apartment from the trendy hair salon she either owned or worked at. That trust reminded me of Uruguay or some parts of Europe. No girl in her right mind would do that in the city.
Prison? Rules? I enjoy breaking petty rules and never had a problem. it's far from Singapore. Actually the safety from real crime allows an atmosphere where a little mischief is not as dangerous as in the city.
Commute with B.A.
Every day a clean, PUNCTUAL, and hourly minivan takes people back and for the different barrios of Nordelta, and the Corredor Norte of Capital (Nunez, Belgrano, Palermo, Recoleta, Retiro, Puerto MAdero). The driver actually stops where you ask him to stop. 20 pesos or so.
Another very refreshing way to commute is by water taxi. Again 20 pesos, no traffic, but only stops at Puerto Madero (next to Buquebus). The plus is you get to take your bike with you.
The only real downside I perceived while living there was the fact that the hourly minibus only works during biz hours so a fun night in the city would cost me a good 150 pesos of Remise. (Even if you have a car, would you drive Panamericana at 2am after a party?).
The community is new and getting bigger, so there are surprisingly some biz and job opportunities within the gated sprawl. Small businesses, the other bigger Northlands school and three others.
If I were sentenced to life in Buenos Aires I'd live in Nordelta.
I'll post pics soon.
