In a context of moderate rent increases, Villa Lugano ranks as the neighborhood with the lowest prices in the entire city of Buenos Aires in May. According to data collected by Zonaprop, the average rental price in this area of southern Buenos Aires is $450,648 for a one-bedroom apartment, $593,700 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $864,000 for a three-bedroom apartment.
There are currently 12 properties available for rent in the neighborhood. The most affordable option is a two-bedroom apartment located at 5500 General Conrado Villegas Street, listed for $410,000 per month. Another similar unit is located at the corner of Nicolás Descalzi and Soldado de la Frontera, listed for $420,000. There is also a studio apartment at 4800 Cañada de Gómez Street for $450,000, the same price as a three bedroom apartment at 5300 Soldado de la Frontera, within the Lugano I and II complex, adjacent to a supermarket and a bank.

At the other end of the spectrum, the highest rental in the area is a three-bedroom, 169 m² townhouse on Riestra Avenue at 6000, listed for $750,000. Nearby, at the intersection of Riestra and Larrazábal Avenues, there's a 48 m² one-bedroom apartment for $590,000. Another, larger one-bedroom unit (65 m²) is located on Chilavert Street at 6100, between Lisandro de la Torre and Timoteo Gordillo, priced at $580,000 per month.
Despite these figures, rent growth continues to lag behind inflation. According to the most recent Zonaprop report, rents for one-bedroom apartments in the city rose 2.9% in April, almost a percentage point less than the March inflation rate of 3.7% . So far this year, the cumulative increase in rents has reached 13%, above the 9.7% inflation rate through March, but below the projected increase for April, which is estimated at 13.4%. Over the past 12 months, rents have increased by 44.6%, below both the year-over-year inflation rate (46.4%) and the adjustment established by the Lease Contract Index (ICL), which was 98.8% as of April 1.

From April 2024 to February 2025, Villa Lugano remained the most profitable neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires. Only in February did Nueva Pompeya momentarily surpass it and take first place, but in March, Villa Lugano again positioned itself as the most profitable, a position it maintains to this day, according to the latest Zonaprop report.
Its performance over the past year has been consistent, with moderate peaks and troughs that consolidated its position as one of the most attractive areas for investment. In January 2025, it reached its peak, with an annual return in dollar terms of 9%, implying an estimated 11.1 years to recover the initial investment. In July 2024, however, it recorded its lowest value: a 6.4% return and a 15.7-year payback period.
Villa Lugano led the profitability ranking in the City of Buenos Aires between April 2024 and February 2025, and continues to be the most profitable neighborhood today.Zonaprop
This level of profitability is no coincidence: it reflects a market where the purchase price per square meter remains among the lowest in the city , lowering the barrier to entry for investors. At the same time, rental demand remains sustained, boosted by the neighborhood's accessibility for those seeking affordable options without leaving the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
In addition to its profile as an investment area, Villa Lugano boasts a consolidated urban layout with good connectivity and a wide range of green spaces. It neighbors Villa Soldati, Mataderos, and Villa Riachuelo, and is home to developments such as Lugano I and II, Barrio Samoré, and Piedrabuena. It is crossed by key arteries such as General Paz, Eva Perón, and Escalada, and has access to the Belgrano Sur line.
