- A common question when relocating to a medelin is whats the cost of living in Medellin Colombia. The cost will vary based on your lifestyle but in this video we will discuss the cost of living in medellin colombia as an expat from the USA.
Hello, I'm Karl Pierre and I recently moved to Medellin, Colombia. As someone who has been living here for a while, I feel qualified to talk about the true cost of living as an expat in Medellin. In this video, we'll cover whether Colombia is really a cheap country to live in and what you can expect to pay for housing, utilities, food, and entertainment.
First, let's talk about housing, which is typically the biggest expense for most people. In the Poblado area, where I live, prices are the highest in the city. You can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $700 per month for a two to three bedroom apartment in a newer building with amenities like a doorman, pool, indoor gym, and more. Most of these buildings are well-maintained and secure, with security at the front desk and gatekeepers for parking facilities. Utilities are calculated based on your wealth class, which is determined by the strata system. However, even in the highest class neighborhoods, the cost of living is still relatively cheap compared to the US. For electricity, internet, water, and building fees, I pay less than $200 per month.
Next up is food, which is relatively cheap compared to the US. You can expect to pay around $3 to $4 for a full meal at a typical restaurant, which includes rice, beans, a protein source, a soup, salad, and even a juice. Breakfast is even cheaper, usually costing less than $2. If you prefer mid-grade to higher-end dining, you'll be looking at $10 to $15 for a sit-down restaurant with two courses. For top-tier restaurants, you can expect to pay up to $100 for a seven-course tasting menu with wine pairing. If you're eating out for every meal, you can budget around $10 to $15 per day, or $300 to $450 per month.
As for entertainment, the cost varies depending on your preferences. Movie tickets usually cost between $5 to $7, and there are plenty of local parks, museums, and outdoor adventures that you can do for free or at a low cost. If you prefer going out to eat and drinking with friends, you can expect to spend around $50 to $60 for a nice restaurant once a month. Overall, you should budget around $200 to $250 per month for entertainment.
In conclusion, as a single person living in Medellin, you can get the equivalent of a US lifestyle for around $1,500 to $2,000 per month. This is equivalent to making around $75,000 per year in the US. For families, a spend of around $3,500 to $5,000 per month will afford a lifestyle that would cost $8,000 to $15,000 per month in most US cities. This will cover housing, a nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, private education for your kids, groceries, entertainment, and savings for travel.

I plan on moving out there later this year! I’ll definitely be emailing you for help with this transition 😊
@@violetapaletaa sure thing.
The more I see and hear about Medellin, the more I am convinced I want to eventually live there. As a native New Yorker I'm drained and disheartened by everything here. Your video covering the financial logistics has enhanced my decision. I will be in Colombia in January to test the lifestyle.
Nice!
Not an endorsement, but you might try Spanish With Paul on RUclips. If you have some basic skills the lessons will totally expand you working knowledge of the language.
The U.S. has become a Country of despair, I think. Also, USD goes 2 to 3 times further in Colombia. Choose a nice city; Medellin is close to 5,000 feet in altitude. Can you handle that? When I go to Bogota at 8,600 feet, my calf muscles cramp and I have to drink a lot of water. My heart rate also goes way up altitude, so no way I can live there.
Bucaramanga is at 3,146 feet elevation. Easier to adjust to. The weather is fantastic year round and it is a smaller city in comparison. It has 160 parks. A man could have a nice life there. Also, I am toying with the idea of moving there, not taking retirement, and getting a remote job paid in USD for half of what I earn currently. Then I can retire a little later. That plan will at least get me out of the Gunited States. Mucho suerte mano!
I'm looking to visit Colombia next year, and see about whether or not that I'm planning on wanting to schedule oral surgery to take out all my 4 wisdom teeths out. Here in the states, they want to charge me $2000, plus another $75 for consultation. It's ridiculous, but in Colombia, I can save so much more, and be on dental tourism as well. :)
We think we may like Manizales, which we believe has cooler temps and about 25% less expensive.
We recently retired at 55 and 60, and will spend the next 4-5 years traveling between Mexico and Argentina, in search of our favorite retirement city.
We are currently living in Matagalpa, Nicaragua and our TOTAL bills run $1000-$1100/month with no budget…that’s just what we spend.
We really are excited about getting to Manizales eventually.
Nice keep me posted
It seems like every expat has done a version of this video on RUclips, but I really appreciate the professionalism and succinctness of your videos. You can tell that a good amount of preparation goes into your videos and it shows in the final product. Keep up the good work 🇨🇴 🇺🇸🤘🏽
Thanks for the feedback. It's an important question to answer and each Expat has a different lifestyle and audience. I didn't think too much about if this is already captured information. Is there something you feel is missing and not discussed maybe I can do a video on that!?
I'm a Massage Therapist and legally blind living on SSDI in central Florida.
The cost of living here in Florida has skyrocketed, a studio apartment cost around $1,800 now.
I only receive $1,700 a month (ssdi), but I'm also debt free.
I have family that have lived in Medellin their entire life.
I'm contemplating giving this expat thing a try.
Do you have Colombia citizenship? If you're going for retirement visa I'm not sure $1700 is enough I would consult with an immigration attorney. If you speak Spanish and have steady income of $1700/month you can certainly live much better in Medellin that in Central Florida
@@Karl__Pierre ••• it's steady/passive income.
You only need about $800 per month to qualify for the retirement visa. If your family can help you get settled, this sounds like a brilliant idea to me!
@@J.D.Vision if it's something you want to do I suggest booking a consultation appointment with me and my assistant in Medellin and we can try to work through this.
@@andrewcooper4667 just have to make sure that income shows as such. They (migracion) are a little finicky about how the income reports on your tax returns. They prefer seeing SSI and Pension income.
You forgot an important detail that I think most Americans fail to think about, and that to learn Spanish. Most people in Colombia don't speak English.
Covered in another video. But thanks
I arrived with four words twelve years ago and now am semi fluent, Colombians are very helpful, all they want you to do is try, they'll even write the words on a napkin for you. Don't disregard the country because you are not fluent, you'll pick it up as you go along.
the title of the video is "What's the Cost of Living in Medellin for Expats?" not things to know before coming to colombia so he forgot nothing really smh
He did mention to learn the language
@@williamhutchison5969 Have you been living there 12 years consistently and still don't speak Spanish fluently?? If so why?
Regarding high end restaurant prices- I've eaten at most of the top restaurants in Medellín and Bogotá with a date and with multiple courses and several drinks each I rarely hit a hundred dollars and averaged about $70. Way better than in the states/Europe
I appreciate you sharing this info. I'm moving my family to Medellin in two years. I lived in Bogota from 2013-2017 by myself and loved it. Can't wait to get back to mi hogar!
Awesome keep in touch!!
I live in Bogotá now from the US. Bogotá has spoiled me.
@@Kozette007 so is bogota better than Medellin?
Wow your video was very informative!! I would love to just come and visit first!!!
Great video, I just came from a vacation in Medellin. I love my country Colombia, I’m thinking about moving back to Colombia. This video helps a lot
Awesome. What is the reason you're considering going back
I respect your mission here. I just might consider the path your on. Just starting to educate myself on Columbia
Nice
Excellent video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
New subscriber.
I’m from the US. My wife is Colombian. She still has her passport and cedula. We’re planning to retire in Colombia soon. Your videos are very helpful as we try ti decide in which city. She has always liked Medellin - that’s where we’re leaning. Also considering Manizales or Pereira.
Will keep your info handy.
Thanks again.
Hey thanks for sharing. I've heard good things about both of those cities. Keep me posted on your progress.
Thank you for your post, very good video.
Appreciate it
Went on a short visit a few years ago and fell in love with it. Thanks for the info. Even before watching this it was on my top 5 countries for retirement.
Nice what's the other 4?!
Headed there this week to explore the possibilities Staying at The Charlee and happy to trade cocktails for your wisdom. Great vid!
Thanks for the offer. Charlee is in the heart of the mix. I won't be in town until September
I'm sold! Currently living in Mexico but looking forward to visiting Medellin and Santa Marta.
Cool which city in Mexico
@@Karl__Pierre currently in Playa del Carmen. It has a growing black community with many activities to mingle but it's becoming tooooo touristy for me..Colombia is definitely in my radar.
@Ginna Guity I would encourage not to pick based on race...especially in Colombia I feel the people are cool regardless of color. The coast has more black people due to slave trade. I personally prefer the city of Medellin and the coastal cities as getaways.
Great video
Thank you for this content!
Any time!
I love your content and appreciate your grounded, wise energy and kindness. I love Medellin! Have you also explored Armenia and Manezales? Also, your work is fascinating. I would love to see a video on how to work through medical insurance, especially for those older than 65? (I am thinking of my parents.) I am going to be eligible to get my cedula, however, they are Canadian citizens. Thank you so much!
Very cool and thanks for the feedback. I have covered Armenia and Manezales mainly because I have never been there. Right now I'm covering Sicily since I'm here. When I get back to Colombia I will cover insurance and Healthcare. Stay tuned! The Sicily series is alot of fun.
Hello Sasha I am Canadian and have lived in Armenia for twelve years. There's a lot of good info for you at Geno Perez Adventures here, almost 100 videos that have covered a lot of what you might be working through. Have a great day.
@@williamhutchison5969 wow thanks for sharing...this is how community is built. I appreciate it!
Can you do a vlog on 1bedroom and larger bachelor suite the cost for those nice areas not a dumpy area. Is middle income neighborhoods fairly safe not sketchy there
Noted!
I've spent at least 3 years in and around Medellin, and this vid hit all the red flags for me.
Folks, "Poblado" is full of expats, and is a magnet for street walkers, drugs, and high crime. It is grossly expensive for the Medellin valley, and only clueless visitors go there.
"Envigado" is 'down South' of Medellin, not 'up in the mountains'. It is more 'hilly' there for sure, but the entire Medellin Valley is way below the plateau. It is adviseable to have a car in Envigado, because the taxis are controlled by the local 'oficina' crime syndicate. There have been many, many reports of expats targeted by the taxis calling in their friends. In Medellin proper its more street crime, which is low in Envigado, but more targeted crimes are prevalent.
The key to knowing the high crime areas is to realize that the higher you go in the valley (up the sides) is where the poor are pushed, and therefore are more often than not, higher crime. However, any place where expats congregate is a haven for street crime.
I say to anyone thinking of moving to Colombia, learn Spanish (at least enough to be understood), stay in the main valley (away from 'El Centro" and "El Poblado"), and keep away from other expats. Nothing makes you more of a target than the people you associate with.
Well put thanks for the input.
Can you recommend me any remote jobs to apply for? I’m 27 and I live in Florida with no kids lol. I visited Cartagena five months ago and I love it. I’m aiming towards Medellin now. Hopefully by April of next year, I’ll be over there for good.
What work skills do you have?
I’m looking at maybe tech sales
Thank you for this wonderful information. How about schools and the level of education ? you mentioned you also have kids so I wonder how families with kids manage the day to day in that sense. Thank you!
Schools vary from public(free) catholic (few hundred monthly) to US English schools those are around 20k+ annually. All depends on what you're looking for.
I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but what's the ratio for tourists and natives? About 10% tourists? Thanks for the video, I do appreciate it
No idea what that ratio is.
Love the information. Not fond of the unnecessary music in the background.
Thanks for the feedback
I am all ready there 6 yrs your right on
Thanks anything I miss?
@@Karl__Pierre the money part was dead on, the food was perfect, traveling again on point,The point may bring to light you don't need a car that's a big big savings keep up the great work
I’m Italian and I’ve been living in Uk for four years. I’d like to be a digital nomad and move to Medellín but I don’t know where to start from. I’ve already been in Medellin on holiday and I loved it.
I don’t have any kind of degree or experience in remote job. I’m fluent in Italian, English and Spanish. And also have a good level of French.
Where would you start from if you were me? Thanks
Start with a skill you can monetize anywhere in the world. Wages aren't that great in Medellin, so it would be advisable to get a job you can do remotely paying you in pounds. From there, you need to work on residency.
Are foreigners allowed to purchase a home or condo there? If so, what is the cost and process?
Yes and if you spend 150k you get residency immediately and citizenship in 5 years
@ENTPLIFE great. I will search RUclips for the process or unless you provide that service to get the information of the process
Also thank you for replying
@@clemonscg Sure! shoot me an email at colombia@entplife.com
Overall, would you say Rio is more expensive than Medellin ? like double?
Copacabana Ipanema Area is like 30-50% more expensive and a family of 4 would need about 2500-3000 to live a middle class life outside that area but still in a decent area
I was shooting for 3k a month. Good to know I only need 2
2k a month is plenty that extra 1k set it aside for fun, travel, investment opportunities etc. Basic living will cost you 1500 for you to live comfortably and eat well...all else is pure leisure money.
what type of visa do you need to stay there for long periods of time?? sounds like a place to spend a couple years to reset
There are several types. All depends on your situation. I recommend visiting first and seeing if it's a good fit for you.
COLOMBIANS ARE VERY COOL WITH POC HERE IN THE STATES. HOW IS IT FOR YOU AS A BLACK MAN IN THEIR COUNTRY? I'M FLUENT IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH. I'm a RETIRED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. I'M ALSO A MASTER SCUBA DIVER. THANKS. GREAT VIDEO INFORMATIVE AND UNDERSTANDABLE FOR US GREEN HORNS.
It's even better. Don't even think about racism the way you do in the states. You're a human and in the world outside of England's colonies race is not a factor. Live you life and enjoy
Great video! Do some of these places accept pets? Thank you.
Yes of course!
ENTP for life man! Also!
Can you recommend any remote jobs I can apply to that actually allows me to live anywhere in the world (and not just the US? I have skills in business development, customer success, sales, and marketing.
I’m actually working remote now as a business development rep for a US based tech company; however, they don’t allow employees to live more than 3 months abroad. So now I’m looking for something that would allow me to apply for a digital nomad visa in Colombia or some other kind of visa that allows me to stay more than a year .
Thank you so much for your content and information! And for advance with my question!
Yes but there for international companies paying local rates. If you're in business development and sales all depends on your ability to produce and salary expectations.
@@Karl__Pierre I’m interested in applying to international companies that are hiring for sales in CS! Thanks for the direction here !
I was going to do tech sales but I’m looking at possibly trading or something to do there doesn’t make sense to work for their local currency
Well done - nicely presented.
Thank you very much! Are you considering the move?
Great format! Is the housing prices you've quoted furnished or unfinished? What you is a reasonable cost to furnish an apartment for a single person?
Unfurnished. For a 1br Apartment all new furnishing expect 3500 - 4500 depending on the quality of what you buy. Top Expenses will be: Fridge -$700
Bed $300-$1000
Couch $400-700
TV $500
After than its all the other deocrations and accesories. If there for less than 6 months you are better off booking a funrished place.
Was watching the Yarbros and stumbled upon this channel. So glad I did; love your content! Would you suggest Medellin for single female retirees?
Yes, go there a few months. Learn the language and see how you feel. What concerns do you have as a single female retiree that you do or don't have in your current country? Maybe I can speak to individual concerns?
fantastic information , thx
Thank you
Great content! We are planning to be 6 months in Medellin & 6 months State side when my husband retires in 4 yrs. I am already semi retired. Next year we are planning to go to Medellin in April for a vacation. We are planning to rent an AirBnb. Any suggestions?
Hi Joann, Sure I can recommend a few things but I think I need some more info on who are and what you prefer. Such as budget, house or condo, high end trendy neighborhood or center city local living. Is this your first time in Medellin. Will you want to be enjoying nightlife or a more quiet residential setting. How long will you be in town on this visit?
Great video. Really have me thinking about visiting at the very least.
Cmon of course you should visit
rent in medellin has exploded since covid. you have to spend 800euro minimum per month
False. My rent is less than $600. If you are talking about short term rentals then of course it will be more than $800 people need to profit and pay for utilities.
How do these scenarios for cost of living for the over 65 crowd including the extra costs of health insurance?
My insurance is $130 and self pay is very inexpensive
@@Karl__Pierre Right, but what about the older crowd, especially if they can't get private insurance anymore and are forced to rely on the public system and paying cash??
Thanks for the information it was very helpful go on vacation in January and I’m looking also for retirement in Columbia.
Make sure you check out my long video on Medellin it gives a more complete overview of things to see, places to go etc.
A little bit optimistic - yes it's not hard to find a meal for 3$ but the quality of the food, the place etc. etc. would be very low. I find regardless of the place I order, while I have some basic standard of cleanness, isolation from the street dirt etc. I always pay 30.000-35.000 COP, which is about 7$, this is also the price of McDonalds meal for example.
Regarding living - most people watching this will very probably rent airbnb, and while one can get lucky with a price of 650$-700$, there will always be somewhat a compromise, a good place in El Poblado you will need to monthly rent for 800$- 900$, or compromise somehow (new apartment with few reviews, other neighborhood etc.).
If you had to give a total monthly expense for an Expat, what would that be?
What would it be for a local?
What would it be for a tourist?
What is it for you?
An excellent and informative video that helps a lot for those of us contemplating a move to Medellin. You might want to stop with all those weird camera angles where you are not looking at the camera though, as those are a distraction to the information you are giving us. Great job.
Hahaha you're welcome, what's interesting is your regular critique. Last video the issue was that my subject line didn't match your expectations...now it's my camera angles.
Everyone is certainly entitled to an opinion and I welcome it. I caution that you are mindful about the criticism as you can easily come off as negative.
I'll take your recommendations into consideration for the next videos. Additionally Medellin is an nice place, I recommend visiting first before taking the plunge and living there.
Great video. Do you have any recommendations on how to find a long term apartment online? I know the city well, so I’m comfortable in areas outside of laureles and poblado, if that matters . Thanks and great video
Airbnb and Facebook groups
Florianópolis in the south of Brazil is also a nice place, many people are stating going there.
Yes I've heard I will visit next Brazilian summer.
What’s a good website to find an apartment ?
All depends how long are you planning on staying?
I would be interested in higher end poblano area
Monthly budget $5,000 month
Gay partner is from Colombia moving or Co locating from Orlando Fl
I own insurance biz and can work remote
Any suggestions

Great informative video Karl!
Never been to Colombia but I lived in Quito Ecuador for a bit many years ago! Would love to checkout Medellin, only concerned about the crime...
Mostly petty and avoidable
Now I heard is again unsafe to go to nature after peace treaty failed.
Love your advice.
I'm not so sure. For the most part it is safe. Where are you looking to go?
What is the Prado neighborhood in Medellin like?
No idea
@@Karl__Pierre I must have confused it with a different neighborhood in Medellin in your video when you mentioned the cost of living....
@@dovygoodguy1296 I live near Poblado
@@Karl__Pierre That was my mix-up. The two sounded similar. Got it now. Some people say Poblado is a bubble for expats and the upper class like Polanco in Mexico City and Cayala in Guatemala City. Does that detract from being able to appreciate Medellin ?
@Dovy Goodguy I think Poblado is good for expats because it has many of the creatures comforts for expats but nothing stops you from moving other neighborhoods. Poblado is a good Starting point...move about the city and determine where to go that fits you best. Good be Poblado could be Sabaneta
I remember I saw some of your vids before about living in Brazil. Why did you chose Colombia over Brazil? Is there a vid about it?
Distance to the states. i am currently building a house in Brazil and at the same time waiting for my wife's citizenship to clear. My goal is to rotate countinously but I will need a main hub for my family, most likely will be Medellin but Brazil is a close second. This summer I am going to be in Italy since I have property there as well so for the summer expect alot of content on Italy. For winter/carnival season I will pick up the brazillian content.
Great video. It seems that one person with a $1500 monthly budget can live in Medellin fairly well. What about health insurance?
That's about 130/ month
@@Karl__Pierre is that on top of the amount to participate in the national health insurance program?
@@CARACAS1 no you can pay less for national plan but this gets you coverage about and beyond the national plan. It's the sura global plan that I have.

I have now Finnish but I do not any more have an address there
Good for you!!
Very informative
Thank you, thinking of relocating?
When you say "200 megabytes" I think you mean "200 megabits"
Yes
Karl have you been to the Philippines? Karl thoughts on Cuenca, Ecuador compared to Medellin, Colombia?. (Pro’s and Con’s)
No and no. Can't offer an opinion without ever visiting and experiencing first hand.
Out of all the places an American can live in why Colombia?
Lifestyle, cost of living, landscapes, proximity. Plenty of places to choose from as you said where would you choose
In the US it costs $150 just for a night out at tgiFridays with a family
For 150 that's easily higher end restaurant dinner and drinks for 4
Appreciate that information buddy I’ll plan to go out there on vacation in January because I have two more years to retire and I’m out of this country appreciate if you can help me out ; like a single guy myself hope to talk to you soon have a great day.

im not sure if this is fare comparison , its not apple to apple , ppls who looking for "Cheaper" they have to understand , you get what you paid for
What would be a better comparison in your opinion?
@@Karl__Pierre i would not compare at all between US and Medellin to start with . its like compare a Limbo to Toyota , non-sense , you can highlight things you find benefit your lifestyle . Your source of income is the States so , its like any other country economy wise , they get less money and eat for less , right ? Cheers !

Great information. I have enough cash to live comfortably for about 20 years but need to develop some more residual income.
Good problem to have. What are you budgeting per month. First thing that comes to mind is a decent piece of real estate. Cash deal that will cashflow.
@@Karl__Pierre $3k/month which is on the high end for my current lifestyle and interests. I'm currently living a more frugal lifestyle now that I'm in my 40s. Consumerism and materialism are a turnoff to me at this stage of my life. I'm looking at multifamily real estate that can cash flow while utilizing 3rd party property management. Will be looking through your videos about the healthcare staffing and adult daycare companies. I appreciate you sharing this information.
I know I'm late to the party, but I'm coming with my fiance(ecuadoriana) and we're staying in Belen. Will we be ok?
Yes I think that's OK but it's a more quiet part of the city. What is your goal here?
Terrific information. Living in Medellin is a bargain compared to Chicago. Hope to visit in the next couple of years.
Don't hope just come and visit!
Love your video buddy. I am seriously thinking about living for a year and learning Spanish. Can I take Spanish lessons there?
Of course. They have schools and exchange programs. Come on down! Shoot me an email info@entplife.com
@@Karl__Pierre ok buddy. I
Think I sent you a message
Bro what music is that you playin in the beginning of the video??
No idea
Tips on best way to find apartments?
Airbnb for short stays and furnished apartments, realtor for long term. With long term you will need to find a local cosigner or be prepared to pay the full year rent.
Great video. Have you ever visited Portugal? Is it a country you would live in? I want to visit Portugal sometime next year.
Not yet! I want to check it out as well
All this information is outdated.
Please provide an update

So it's actually megabits per second, not megabytes. Megabytes is a measure of disc capacity or size. Whereas megabit/second is a speed measure. Megabyte= 8 megabits
Perfect thanks for clarifying that. So a file that is 800 megabytes will take 8 seconds to transfer over a 100 megabits per second internet connection? If that's the case thanks for the lesson man can't share misinformation. Appreciate it.
I have a apartment for rent .I'm a american with property in medellin
Where is it and is it furnished?
There a old saying when something cheap you get what you pay for. Im from medellin but grew up in new york since 9. I went back recently and the food tasted without flavor. I even started thinking do i got covid why is the food so flavorless. Im too used to new york and the variety of foods which you cant find in other parts of world. I went to many restaurants there and the food didnt impress me.... changing subjects to the internet, i think you made mistakes. The internet in medellin is super slow and there they only put fiber optics in buildings but in the streets the wires are still copper which isnt good to transmit data.
Hey. Next time youre in town I'll take you to places that the food taste good lol. I also have internet in two locations 200mbps
@@Karl__Pierre that still very slow. I have a bitcoin mine in new york. Ill make no money with that speed. And thanks but i dont think ill be back i actually saw that city worse then when i was a kid. Too many cars, motorcycles, too much pollution which made me sick. That city has more negatives now and before was a better atmosphere
@@Jean_villegas when were you 9 and when were you last there because this sounds out of touch with reality.
@@Karl__Pierre well reality changed for worse then. Is a different place which i dont like now. Before was more of family atmosphere. Theres no type of regulations or innovations there to control the flow of cars and motorcycles. If you cross a street there yu gotta run cause the cars dont stop. I dont like the current reality of that country. And young people there today seem to off forgotten their identity and be trying to speak english and yu cant even understand them. That countrt changed for worse
@@Jean_villegas how old are you today and when did you last visit?
Europe is cheaper
Cool where is it cheaper and can you provide some examples? Some things I agree on. Just want to know from your perspective
@@Karl__Pierre You can get 50m2 apartment in Croatia for 300 per month and not worry about safety atal, at least you could last year, I don't know if the prices went up now.. 800 for the whole house in Rotterdam, considering it's Rotterdam and it's the whole house with a garden.. we also used to rent a house in Cork, Ireland for 800 a month, but that was 2018..
