The area is more than 60 kilometers from Buenos Aires City and includes projects offering lots starting at US$25,000, driven by sustained demand.

The Los Cardales area , between Campana and Exaltación de la Cruz, has established itself as one of the fastest-growing hubs in the suburban real estate market . There are more than 30 projects underway there, reflecting a trend: families and investors are looking for spacious living, security, and more competitive prices than in other northern towns.
The movement accelerated after the pandemic, thanks to the combination of remote work, demand for green spaces, and the ability to access larger areas at lower prices than in established areas. Connectivity with the Pan-American Highway (National Route 9) and Highway 6 boosted the arrival of new developments in this area of northern Greater Buenos Aires, while financing in pesos opened the door to middle-class buyers.

At Sygsa, they emphasize that success is no longer measured solely by proximity to the city . "Buyers are looking for projects that invite them to stay most of the time. The more self-sufficient the neighborhood, the greater its ability to sustain value over the long term," said Uriel Broitman , commercial manager. Their portfolio includes developments with 1,500 m2 lots starting at US$25,000 and premium developments starting at US$35,000, with financing plans of up to 48 installments in pesos.
Adrián Daniel Sánchez , of Adrián Sánchez Propiedades, maintained that the key lies in the price-space ratio : "Today, it is possible to access plots of 800 or 1,200 m2 at a much lower cost than in other areas, which attracts those looking for more space for less money." The predominant profile is families looking for permanent housing, although there are also weekend buyers and investors looking for resale or temporary rentals.

For Jorge Santa María of Inmuebles Santa María, the growth is explained by the natural overflow of more established developments and the search for a quieter lifestyle. "After the pandemic, more than 15 new developments were consolidated. People are looking for greenery and security, with standard lot prices between $25,000 and $40,000, and premium lots that can exceed $180,000," he noted.
In the housing market, Santa María emphasized that there are still opportunities below replacement cost. "There are mid-range units between $120,000 and $260,000, and premium units that exceed $600,000. He explained: The most sought-after ones range from $280,000 to $300,000, with a pool, barbecue area, and full amenities."
Chacras de la Reserva, the area also shows developments with lots of more than 5,000 m2
Every April, Cadema organizes the Northern Corridor Real Estate Showcase (SINOR) to showcase this potential and demystify the idea of remoteness. It highlights the importance of healthcare, education, and recreational infrastructure as key elements to attracting more families and, in turn, more investors. According to Cafferatta, lots average US$40,000 for 1,000 square meters, although prices increase for projects with more comprehensive services.
Along the same lines, Sánchez emphasized that the establishment of nearby industrial parks has boosted the arrival of families who combine working from home with frequent commutes to Buenos Aires City, reinforcing the demand for housing with good connectivity and educational services in the area.
Cafferatta, for his part, emphasized that it is an area with potential, and his focus is the triangle delimited by the Pan-American Highway, Highway 6, and Provincial Route 4. He explained: "The important thing is to provide services and attract investors who will diversify them. It is key to highlight the availability of health, education, and recreational services that today attract new residents and who trust the Los Cardales area."
The expansion also responds to a cultural shift: permanent homes are gaining ground over second homes, although there is still a segment of buyers looking for weekend getaways. The appeal is complemented by sustainable offerings, community gardens, modern amenities, and a growing community atmosphere.
"These projects are sought after by families who want quality of life and nature in a good location. They are neighborhoods that build community," Brea concluded.

Connectivity with the Pan-American Highway (National Route 9) and Highway 6 boosted the arrival of new developments in this area of northern Greater Buenos Aires, while financing in pesos opened the door to middle-class buyers.
An offer that diversifies
The projects in the area don't compete solely on location. Each one seeks to differentiate itself with proposals that focus on community living and self-sufficient services. At Ayres Desarrollos, for example, lots ranging from 2,600 to 3,900 m2 are offered, ranging from US$90,000 to US$200,000, with a clubhouse, stables, and preserved original forestry. "Ayres' approach is always to create a different concept in each project. We are committed to the countryside and a return to a life of natural luxury," explained Javier Brea , the company's commercial manager.

Prices and demand on the rise
Demand is varied. According to a survey of local real estate agencies, pre-sale lots start at US$25,000 and can reach US$70,000 or more for premium versions. Used homes, meanwhile, range in price from US$120,000 to US$240,000, with a preference for properties with three or four bedrooms, a pool, and security.Adrián Daniel Sánchez , of Adrián Sánchez Propiedades, maintained that the key lies in the price-space ratio : "Today, it is possible to access plots of 800 or 1,200 m2 at a much lower cost than in other areas, which attracts those looking for more space for less money."

The perception of distance
Geographic location is also part of the discussion. For some developers, Los Cardales still seems far from the city. However, this perception doesn't match reality. Rolando Cafferatta , partner at Cadema Bienes Raíces, emphasized that "it's only 12 kilometers further than the main commercial center in Pilar, and that difference gives us an advantage: we're not part of the immediate Greater Buenos Aires area, which ensures a more natural environment and less density."

According to Cafferatta, lots average US$40,000 for 1,000 square meters, although prices increase for projects with more comprehensive services.
By the hand of connecting routes
In addition to the price factor, Santa María emphasized that growth is linked to the overflow from other established areas and the search for a quieter life. He indicated that the market combines diverse profiles: from older couples seeking retirement to young professionals taking advantage of teleworking to settle permanently.Along the same lines, Sánchez emphasized that the establishment of nearby industrial parks has boosted the arrival of families who combine working from home with frequent commutes to Buenos Aires City, reinforcing the demand for housing with good connectivity and educational services in the area.

A new residential map
The growth of this area is based on common factors : improving accessibility, competitive prices, and a diverse range of projects with their own unique identity. Demand is diverse, from young couples to older couples seeking retirement, as well as relocated families and investors.The expansion also responds to a cultural shift: permanent homes are gaining ground over second homes, although there is still a segment of buyers looking for weekend getaways. The appeal is complemented by sustainable offerings, community gardens, modern amenities, and a growing community atmosphere.
