If you like mountains and lakes I recommend Bariloche, Villa la Angostura or San Martín de los Andes, they are BEAUTIFUL. I lived in buenos aires all my life, but I always said those are the best places to live (if you dont like big cities). Places in Córdoba are also a very good option

For US citizens that aren't familiar with Argentina rental contracts, etc., and this video touches on them, but doesn't explain them in detail.... I'll do my best as an expat of 20 years in Argentina to touch on the high points. 1) Forget the normal wear and tear clause. You, as a renter are expected to repaint the property and put everything back into a state to is prepared for the owner to rent to the next renter when you leave. 2) Rental contracts are almost always handled by realtors that are chosen by the owner, but for which YOU pay for, and you pay a fee to the realtor when you sign the rental agreement even though they work FOR the owner and are looking out for their interest. 3) Be aware that you may have to purchase your own AC, heat and/or refrigerator. The rental may not even include a stove/oven. 4) You, as the renter, pay the property taxes, not the owner. 5) The owner is normally only responsible for "infrastructure" type repairs, like wiring, plumbing etc. Other repairs are YOUR responsibility. 6) Pretty much EVERY rental requires what is alluded to in this video... a guarantee, or what we would refer to in the US as collateral. There is another option, not mentioned in the video, which is to contract through an insurance company, which costs basically another month of rent for every year of the contract. 7) This is not the Argentina of 2002. Believe me... I've been here for a long time. There are still some advantages. I've had personal house cleaners, plumbers, carpenters, painters, working for me recently between 2-10 dollars an hour. BUT, cost of restaurants, groceries, utilities, etc., have changed DRAMATICALLY in the last few years and are approaching US values. 20 years ago, having a US salary and living in Argentina was like living like a king. Those days are GONE. When you consider my next point, this has become FAR from paradise. 8) Security... CRIME... SAFETY... It's a MAJOR problem in Argentina. We live in a house with a house alarm, private security, a community alarm, an electric fence around our entire property, 360 degree cameras for our property, two German Shephard guard dogs.... and we still can't sleep peacefully at night, not to mention what it's like going out in public. The people in Argentina are CONSTANTLY complaining about the problem and the corruption and lack of protection from the police, but trying to adjust to this from US life.... forget about it. I have been held and robbed at knife point in my office building. My wife has been robbed various times, but one time in particular almost killed where they threw her into the street, tried to carjack her and fired various rounds from a pistol near her head while laying in the street. If THIS sounds like your dream life.... then by all means, move to and retire in Argentina. I'm sorry if I'm bursting your bubble and your dreams, but it's with the utmost concern and respect that I'm trying to warn you of what you're getting into.

@@samwdavis - Sorry it happened to you and your wife, but generally speaking it doesn't happen to most people, just some few unlucky ones, and a lot of these burglaries or holdups take place in certain areas of the country, not everywhere.

At $400 usd p/m air bnb might be the antidote to rental contracts and property guarantees/fee's/negotiations etc. ty Dino

@@samwdavis I thought you lived in an building and were robbed at gun point like your previous comment said? It sounds a little exaggerated to be honest, there’s always gonna be bad areas and bad people in cities like that. Thankfully your wife is okay physically at least. Maybe it is just as bad as you say, who knows until I find out when I go there traveling.

@@samwdavis Your comments on security and crime are very concerning. Can you tell me what city you are living in? Also, do you think the situation is the same in other cities there? thanks!

Hello, its called Clinica privada de ojos. Its located in Mar Del Plata Arg. About 4 hrs away from BA by car
