San Miguel is situated in the northwest region of Greater Buenos Aires, 30 km from the capital . It is the head town of the San Miguel Partido. Since the early 2000s its been a part of Greater Buenos Aires. According to the 2001 census the number of inhabitants was about 157.532. San Miguel's transition from a rural community to that of a suburban metropolis with high-rise buildings has caused it to lose its village character and placed its infrastructure in jeopardy.

San Miguel has numerous bus lines running through the center and is served with several stations by the San Martin and Urquiza commuter railroad lines, which provide easy access to the capital.
