Monserrat is where Buenos Aires began, Plaza de Mayo, the Cabildo, colonial churches, and some of the most dramatic old architecture in the city, all walkable to everything.
Prices are low for how central it is, which makes it a value barrio for buyers who want history and location over polish, and a solid short-stay market thanks to the tourist sights on the doorstep. As with all of the old downtown, you buy the building as carefully as you buy the apartment, but the bones here are extraordinary.
What it costs
As of late 2025, published asking prices in Monserrat sit around USD 1,850 / m² for an apartment (Zonaprop index). Keep one thing in mind: those are asking prices, not closings. What actually changes hands is usually a notch below the sticker, and negotiating that gap into your pocket is precisely what you hire a broker for.
