There is flooding in some streets of Palermo Viejo, mostly on the Hollywood side. But hey, Belgrano has severe flooding problems in some streets too. Unfortunately, this issue is not solved yet in our city and with global warming, it seems we are getting each time heavier rains. Even the obelisk's area (downtown) was inundated with last week's rain. Although Belgrano has many nice areas and you can get anything you need on Cabildo Ave. (it is like another city in this city), it is too crowded for my taste and not very safer, even during the day.

There is flooding and were some robberies. But the people I know who live there say they couldn't live anywhere else in the city... But, I do agree that there are some nice areas of Belgrano. I've looked there and found some good values. It's good for residential. I was previously on the market for office space and it was not central enough for my needs. Cheers, Will Hi Matteo,

In my opinion, Belgrano is the nicest and most undervalued neighborhood in the city. It's the only area where locals tell me that they feel safe. It's out of the tourist zone but still in the North of the city and very convenient. It's a neighborhood of the city's accomplished working professionals. You won't find many 'quality of life' type problems like the begging street families you find in Recoleta, Palermo, and Micro Centro. It's a cohesive neighborhood that doesn't tolerate that type of stuff. Check out the area bounded by the following streets: Cabildo; Libertador; Frederico Lacroze; and Blanco Encalada. Try a meal at Big Mamma's on Juramento. You'll probably wonder why you didn't know an area like this existed in the city. Regarding Palermo SoHo: Good choice avoiding it. Palermo SoHo is an accident that keeps happening. It's completely unsafe after the stores close at night. This time last year there was a problem with "restaurant invasions" where all the patrons were being robbed at dinner time. See: http://www.goodairs.com/2006/09/ugh-not-again-palermo-crime-wave.html http://www.goodairs.com/2006/07/bayres-crime-wave.html If that's not enough...it floods when it rains a lot. Hi David-

Did you say just a month or so ago that Palermo Soho/Viejo was a bubble waiting to burst...( I think you actually said it was way too hot now) We almost bought a place about 3 blocks from the Plaza. The neighborhood seemed a little too transitional still. One blocked seemed nice while the next one was downright ugly. Partially because of your other post and our own gut feel, we passed on the place and have started looking again further north in Belgrano. What are your thoughts on Belgrano?
