Centro

Centro is San Martín de los Andes' postcard core, where strict architectural codes enforce a uniform alpine-chalet aesthetic of wood and stone along tree-lined Calle San Martín. The Costanera promenade on Lake Lácar, boutique shops, artisan chocolatiers and the bus terminal all sit within an easy walk, giving it the densest tourist footfall in town and a lively, refined atmosphere in both summer and ski season. For investors, Centro commands the city's premium per-square-metre pricing, with quality apartments and boutique buildings trading well above the US$230,000 regional average. Scarcity of flat buildable land and constant short-let demand from skiers and lake tourists underpin gross dollar yields of 5-7% and the 10-15% appreciation forecast for the Centro/Chapelco corridor in 2026. Turnkey, winterized units rent year-round across both seasonal tourism and long-term tenants.
