Casi como “leyendas urbanas”, muchas de las ideas que se fueron acumulando sobre el mega desarrollo de Zona Norte no se ajustan a la realidad.

Almost like "urban legends," many of the ideas that have been accumulating about the mega-development of Zona Norte are not true.
That it's so expensive that only the rich and famous can afford to live in its neighborhoods, that it's overpriced, that it's far from everything, that it's only a good residential option for families. Since the first neighborhood was launched back in 1999, Nordelta has become the benchmark residential development in the northern part of Buenos Aires . And along with that prominence, of course, some assumptions about this grand masterplan have also been established that don't reflect reality.
“Few places, at least in the Northern Zone, are as burdened with myth or prejudice as Nordelta,” says Lucas Pastrana, director of the Nordelta branch of Mieres Properties. “The thing is, Nordelta is a city in itself and constantly growing, which means sustained demand and constant appreciation. And since new developments are always being launched, it's the place that sets the real estate trends,” he adds.
But is Nordelta really a super-exclusive place for people with very high purchasing power? Mieres Properties doesn't hesitate to question that first big myth. While the entry fee to Nordelta is, on average, perhaps a little higher than the surrounding developments, the reality is that today it has neighborhoods for all audiences , from the most traditional and established to newer ones with modern offerings. "Nordelta is so big that you have it all. There are 4,000-square-meter lots facing the central lake that can cost more than $2 million, but there are also studio apartments for $95,000 for those who are perhaps moving out of their parents' house. And in the middle of that, you have any option you want," explains Lucas Pastrana.

Nordelta has neighborhoods for all audiences.
Another common myth about Nordelta is that it's an "overvalued" area. While it's true that the high demand that has always characterized it tends to drive up prices, Mieres Properties assures that turnover is high and that properties aren't sold for less than the purchase price . Furthermore, each year Nordelta adds more infrastructure and services, which contributes to the appreciation of its properties. "Those who spend time in Nordelta are always surprised by what's new. This year, the clinic opened, and the Beta area is being developed, which will house universities and spaces for new ventures and professional services," explains the director of Mieres Properties.
The new access points and services help debunk another myth: that Nordelta is "far from everything." In this sense, and despite the fact that Buenos Aires no longer necessarily converges with downtown, it's very well located within the Zona Norte. "Nordelta is the new halfway option. For example, many people come from Pilar because they don't want to deal with the daily traffic on the Panamericana Highway and find here the opportunity to be halfway, but without sacrificing the quality of life in the Zona Norte. Furthermore, within Nordelta, you can live your own life, as you have a shopping center with restaurants, health care, entertainment, schools, and, soon, the Beta area will add universities," Pastrana points out.
"Anyone who spends time in Nordelta is always surprised by what's new," says Mieres Properties.
Finally, it's also common to hear that Nordelta is "only for families." And here, even, the mega-development has an advantage over other residential developments for the same reason mentioned at the beginning. The wide range of options, which includes apartments of all sizes, also allows for a unique diversity of audiences . "Nordelta isn't just about family homes. There are apartments for singles or young couples, houses in nautical complexes, or with golf views for lovers of the outdoors. It's an ideal place for anyone who wants security, comfort, and nature all in one," summarizes Lucas Pastrana.
“Nordelta may seem overwhelming, but it isn't. It's a very well-planned city, with a wealth of logic behind each of its sectors and services . We are convinced that Nordelta is a tremendous solution for all those who choose it. When we welcome our clients, we emphasize showing them all the benefits of the property they're interested in,” Pastrana summarizes. That's why Mieres Propiedades, a real estate agency with a presence in the city since its very origins, offers itself as the "gateway" for those who want to find their next residential destination in this vast universe.
