Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could share your opinions on whether you feel it's better to rent or buy a flat/house in BA. For those of you who have been in BA for quite a while (e.g. more than a few years), do you own a property or are you still renting? Why?
We'll move to Argentina in a few months and we'll probably rent somewhere for a few months or a year before we decide if/where to buy. Is this generally the path that most people take?
Also a question on budget/barrio. When I was last in BA I spent half my time in Palermo (near Pl. Italia) and half in Monserrat. I enjoyed both but whilst I appreciated the relative peace of Palermo I preferred being (both literally and figuratively) in the middle of things in Monserrat. The downside is that there seemed to be more petty crime in the city centre than in Palermo. Are there any suggestions regarding which barrios we should look out for that are similar to Palermo or Monserrat?
Budget-wise we're not strictly constrained but we'd be looking at about 15-25k pesos for rent, or if we were to buy a place, around 8-10 million. Ideally we'd like a proper house with a garden but I realise that's nearly impossible in the city centre.
Thanks!
