About Real de San Carlos

Real de San Carlos sits a few kilometers north along the Rio de la Plata, a quiet riverside barrio built around the early-1900s resort complex of magnate Nicolas Mihanovich - its hauntingly beautiful Plaza de Toros bullring and old hotel ruins are local icons. Today it is a calm, green residential area with river beaches, a golf course and space that the cramped historic core cannot offer. Land and houses here are notably cheaper, with homes from US$120,000 and buildable lots widely available, attractive to buyers wanting a garden, river views and room to build. Prices appreciate around 9-11% as Colonia's growth pushes outward and the +Colonia expansion raises the whole city's profile. Gross yields of 5-6% come mainly from seasonal and weekend lets. With unrestricted foreign freehold ownership, Real de San Carlos suits buyers seeking value, space and a tranquil riverside base.
