What are the pros and cons of living in La Lucila?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in La Lucila responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in La Lucila, often like the peaceful and quiet atmosphere of the neighborhood, as it is a residential area with tree-lined streets and beautiful houses. They also appreciate the safety and security of the area, as it is considered one of the safer neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. The proximity to the river and green spaces, such as the Paseo de la Costa, provides opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation. Additionally, the public transportation options, including the train station, make it easy to commute to other parts of the city. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the limited nightlife and entertainment options in La Lucila, as it is primarily a residential area. They might also find the cost of living to be higher compared to other neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, particularly when it comes to housing. The limited number of coworking spaces and cafes with reliable Wi-Fi could also be a drawback for digital nomads who need a comfortable place to work. Finally, the distance from the city center might be inconvenient for those who prefer to be closer to the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires," explained one expat living in La Lucila.
