FlagMotto: "Es vivir muy bien" ("This is life") Nordelta, inside Tigre Partido
Country Argentina Province Buenos Aires Partido Tigre Founded 1999 Population (2007) - Total 10,000 Website http://www.nordelta.com/ingles/inicio.htm Nordelta district, located at the north of the Tigre Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, consists of a gated community made up of 9 neighborhoods, founded in 1999 and known as the first ciudadpueblo ("city-ville" in English) of Argentina;[1] it is close to the town General Pacheco.
When compared to older gated communities in Pilar, Nordelta's natural features (trees, plants, etc.) stand out as too "artificial", because Pilar's trees, for instance, are very large and mature compared to Nordelta's minimal trees.
Nordelta currently has swimming pools, soccer and tennis fields, a shopping mall, a medical center, a sports club,[2] three private schools, playgrounds, saunas, and more. Also, it was one of the first places in Argentina to have a Telecom communications network of a totally new generation.[3][4]
The people of Nordelta founded the Nordelta Foundation, in an effort to help improve the quality of life of poor people living in Las Tunas, a shantytown located very close to Nordelta.[5][6]
