Buenos Aires Province capital, 1 hour south of Buenos Aires city — a planned city laid out 1882 on a perfect square grid with diagonal avenues, anchored by the University of La Plata and the Bosque (the central park complex). The Plaza Moreno and the Catedral de La Plata are the central anchors. Argentina has no DNV; visa-free 90 days for many passports, the rentista visa for long-stay. The structural draws are meaningful sub-Buenos-Aires pricing, deep student-and-academic culture, and grid-walkability. Argentina's ongoing macroeconomic volatility affects pricing predictability.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
