Hey All,
I will be relocating to BA with my wife and daughter (under a year old) in February or March 2014 and we are looking for some opinions on where to settle down in BA for the next few years. We will be put up in corporate housing for a few months in Palermo, so we will have a chance to check out that area, but we also want to explore the northern suburbs. My office is located about 30 minutes north of downtown, so we have some options as to where we want to live without having an insane commute.
Having lived in midtown Manhattan for the past 10 years we are exploring the idea of moving on from the apartment dwelling city life and maybe looking for a house in the burbs to raise our daughter. I have travelled to BA a ton over the past few years so I am familiar with the Palermo/Recoleta/Puerto Madero areas, but I wanted to get some real life opinions on the outer suburbs that I haven't really visited.
My main priority is obviously security, I understand the fact that houses (especially outside gated communities) pose a higher risk than a high rise downtown, so I'm looking for some insight as to what areas are considered safer. Cleary Nordelta was the first place that popped up on my radar, so if any of you live out there I would love to chat with you. Outside of that, do any of you live in other gated communities in Tigre or houses in the La Lucila/Acassuso/San Isidro area? Can anyone recommend other areas/gated communities that we should consider checking out?
I've scoured most of the forum posts and found a ton of helpful information, so thanks for that, and hopefully I get to meet a few you of you after we get settled.

and decided the location was convenient enough to what we needed, close enough to the city, but far enough away to feel cozy....Also, as far as safety...no, I haven't been everywhere but I will say that I felt safe the entire time. Even when driving through areas some would say weren't so nice. I mean, its definitely not America and I think some people are shocked by this...
