Melipal

Melipal lines Avenida Bustillo a few kilometres west of the centre, where the city thins into leafy lakeshore neighbourhoods along Nahuel Huapi. It blends permanent-resident houses, cabañas and apartment buildings with hotels and lake-view lots, offering a calmer, greener alternative to the tourist core while staying within easy reach of services, schools and the airport road. For investors, Melipal is the practical middle of the Bariloche market: lake-view stock captures part of the 20-30% lakefront premium without ultra-prime Llao Llao pricing, and it suits both long-term tenants and cabaña-style short lets. Suburban apartments here run nearer US$2,500/m2 with gross yields around 4.1% (price-to-rent ~24.3), while citywide appreciation of 2-4% applies, lifting to 4-7% for genuine lakefront parcels. It is a sensible entry for buyers wanting lake exposure with broader tenant demand.
