It belongs to Commune 5
Boedo was born as a typical proletarian neighborhood in the south of the city that gained notoriety with the appearance of social literature developed from the irruption of the Boedo Group. It developed around the homonymous avenue, took its name and made it official with its limits from 1972. Its old houses contrast, as in various neighborhoods of the Federal Capital, with the modern buildings built in recent years. Despite the large number of tangos that speak of Boedo, this is one of the freshest and youngest neighborhoods. The 25 de Mayo highway, parallel to Avenida San Juan and Avenida Pavón, crosses the neighborhood from east to west.
