Coghlan
Small, leafy, residential, and under-the-radar between Belgrano, Saavedra, and Villa Urquiza.

Coghlan at a glance
Coghlan is a few streets of brick houses with gardens and low buildings beside the railway, with a village quiet most of the north has lost. It covers 1.28 km² in the city's north, Comuna 12, with 20,803 residents at the 2022 census — about 16,300 people per km², about the median barrio's density (14,700).
Quiet-seekers who still want north-side access.
Very calm can mean fewer cafes, fewer buildings to choose from, and fewer direct routes.

Cost value stands on the asking sale price per m², as no rent is quoted here. The tick is the median of the 48 barrios. Eight marks are computed from public data and four are our read; what goes into each is on how we score.

A barrio is half the decision. The other half is the lease — the guarantee, the up-front cash, the contract terms — and that part we walk through with you.
