Versalles at a glance
Versalles is quiet streets of houses with gardens near the city's western boundary: a suburb that happens to fall inside the city. It covers 1.41 km² in the city's west, Comuna 10, with 16,024 residents at the 2022 census — about 11,400 people per km², less dense than the median barrio (14,700).
People who want calm, houses, and distance from the city's constant churn.
It is far from the usual newcomer circuits and weak on direct transit.

Eight marks are computed from public data and four are our read; what goes into each is on how we score.
What it costs
average asking prices · Q2 2026The city statistics office had too few rental listings here to quote an average this quarter. Missing data does not tell us whether rents here are cheap or expensive.
To buy: about US$1,770 per m² for a used two-bedroom (−18% vs the city). Budget separately for expensas (building fees) and utilities. These used-apartment benchmarks are not furnished short-stay quotes or offers. Figures are averages of what landlords ask — IDECBA (city statistics office), from Argenprop listings; 2nd quarter 2026, provisional — converted at the Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA, Argentina’s central bank) retail seller rate, Q2 2026 average.
Reported robbery & theft
reported crimes · 202526.6 reported robberies and thefts per 1,000 residents — below the city rate of 32.2.
215 robberies (with violence or threat) and 211 thefts were reported in Versalles in 2025, against 16,024 residents in private dwellings at the 2022 census. Reporting rates, visitors, population changes since the census and differences between blocks limit the comparison. These counts do not measure all crime or predict personal safety.

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.
