Coghlan, Buenos Aires

Coghlan is a residential neighborhood in northern Buenos Aires characterized by tree-lined streets and single-family homes of varying sizes. The area maintains a quiet, domestic feel with its layout organized around local parks and green spaces.

The area was once farmland until the Mitre Railway developed it in 1891, transforming it into a residential zone. This shift from rural to urban landscape established the foundation for the neighborhood that exists today.

English and Irish immigrants shaped the neighborhood's character, visible in the grand residences that line its streets and define its residential tone. This heritage remains present in how the streets are organized and how people move through the spaces.

The neighborhood connects to central Buenos Aires through buses and train services, making it easy to reach from other parts of the city. Walking is a natural way to explore the streets and discover local parks.

Small parks scattered throughout the area serve as gathering places where neighbors spend time outdoors and build community connections. These green spaces break up the residential streets and feel like part of everyday life here.
