Large Families · in Villa Ballester · Northern Greater Buenos Aires

Planning a family trip to Buenos Aires with the whole family presents a challenge that any large family knows well: finding a place where everyone can fit, where each person has their own space, and where the city’s logistics don’t become the main problem of the trip. This house in Villa Ballester solves all three problems at once.

Three hundred square metres spread over two floors of 150 m² each: the ground floor with the common areas and the upper floor with the bedrooms, in a layout that allows the large family to move about freely without getting in each other’s way. The kitchen, equipped with an island, is the heart of the ground floor: the family breakfast where everyone gathers before heading out, the lunch prepared together when the plan for the day is to stay in, and the afternoon mate—which no bar in Palermo can beat—when the whole family is gathered around the island.

The four bedrooms cover every possible configuration: the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom for parents or grandparents who claim the most comfortable room, the second bedroom with a private bathroom for the couple or the immediate family who prefer their own space, and the remaining two with a shared bathroom for the kids or the rest of the group. The 300 m² floor plan ensures that everyone has their own space without anyone feeling cramped.

The patio with an outdoor dining table is the family gathering space the house needed: long summer dinners, breakfast in the morning sun, and that Sunday lunch where the family spreads out around the table without anyone feeling rushed.

And what makes this house the perfect choice for a family coming to explore Buenos Aires is right at its doorstep: the Mitre Train, which stops right in front of the property and, in just a few minutes, takes the whole family to Palermo or Retiro—no subway, no Uber, and no taxi fare multiplied by the number of people in the group. For a large family, that train is the difference between moving freely around the city and depending on the logistics of a car for every outing.

Just 10 minutes away is Tecnópolis: the largest cultural and scientific complex in Latin America, with interactive exhibits, shows, and activities that can fill an entire family day without anyone getting bored.
