Villa Real

Tiny, calm, far west, and almost suburban inside the city boundary.

Villa Real at a glance

Villa Real is a handful of blocks of houses and gardens at the city's edge, quieter than much of the province beyond it. It covers 1.34 km² in the city's west, Comuna 10, with 13,745 residents at the 2022 census — about 10,300 people per km², less dense than the median barrio (14,700).

Who it's for

People who want quiet above everything else and do not need central convenience.

The catch

Transit, rentals, and social density are all limited.

median barrio

The overall read is an even weighting of the 11 marks we have for this barrio — a starting point, not a verdict. Of our six lenses it ranks highest under “Quiet & green”. Cost value is not listed: too few listings to price it, so it is left out of fit. 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.

What it costs

average asking prices · Q2 2026

The 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.

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 · 2025

26.8 reported robberies and thefts per 1,000 residents — below the city rate of 32.2.

187 robberies (with violence or threat) and 182 thefts were reported in Villa Real in 2025, against 13,745 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.

Thinking about Villa Real?

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.
