Parque Chas, Residential district in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Parque Chas is a residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires organized with streets arranged in concentric circles rather than the typical grid pattern. The district features numerous six-point intersections throughout its layout, creating a distinctive geometric design.
The neighborhood was established in the early 1920s as a planned residential development. It gained official recognition as a district through city legislation in December 2005.
Street names in the neighborhood reference European cities, showing how international urban planning ideas shaped the district's character. You notice this cosmopolitan naming when you walk through the area.
The neighborhood connects to central Buenos Aires via multiple bus lines and is bounded by La Pampa, Triunvirato, and Constituyentes streets. The concentric street layout may feel disorienting at first, but the center is easy to locate.
Three main streets—Victorica, Avalos, and Gándara—form a central hub that departs from Argentina's typical right-angled street pattern. This radial center resulted from a deliberate modern planning choice in the 1920s.
