your videos are always so entertaining and you can tell all the dedication you put into them. And im only 3 minutes in hahaha hope you guys find a nice place!!!
Thanks for the video. It's great to see the reality. I am single and looking to move to Montevideo from New Zealand. So, I'm only looking for a one or two-bedroom apartment. It would be great if you could look at that end at some stage. Thanks so much.
W video. Fascinating seeing not just the neighborhoods but also how the houses are In other countries are

Nice video. Can’t wait for part 2. I just moved in to my new apartment in Montevideo. I finally chose an apartment in La Blanqueada, I wasn’t even looking in that neighborhood but I’m really happy now.
Maddie I grow up around Malvin, summer around there is beautiful, you have the beach and rambla very close, as well a really nice park where you can take your dogs!
Great tour, definitely a real version of some of those HGTV International tour of how real people live. So, what are the options like around the 60,000 pesos per month?
for 60,000 you could get something very nice! I would love to make an updated one in a few months once the stress of actually finding a house has worn off, but if you have more questions or want to chat specifically about your own needs in moving to uruguay, contact us here and book a consult stan.store/MaddieinMontevideo
Hello. I enjoyed your video. I found it informative given that I am moving to Uruguay in the next year. Perhaps you can help me with some information. I am interested in living close to the Carrasco sector but prefer an área a bit more rural with open spaces. I’d be moving with a family, so my interests may differ a bit to yours. I’ll need a 3 or 4 bedroom home. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the comment, i actually have a lot of suggestions. If you are interested, we now offer consultations because we had so many people ask us to provide them! you can book a 60 minute chat and we can talk all about housing and neighbourhoods, as well as if you have questions about schooling or everyday life here, whatever you need. just go ahead and book and I'll be happy to chat to you about anything you need to know. stan.store/MaddieinMontevideo
@@MuzzaHukka Personally, if you're "feminine presenting" or have any children, it's very dangerous. Males follow you home saying weird cringe things (that you're "yummy food" like what is that LMAO) or literally jump you but happens everywhere Ig, just gotta be careful and able to defend yourself at absolutely any time
Hello, thank you for the video. It was very interesting. Planning to move to Uruguay and I am looking for apartments, which search websites did you use?
I linked them in my latest video! but it is mercado libre and infocasas, you might need a VPN if you are trying to look from outside of the country, before you arrive :)
I see very few electrical outlets in the walls. Do people plug everything in a room into one or two outlets? How much electricity reaches the average house? Also, broken glass in the skylights does not promise any happy rainy days.
to be honest, yea, there can be lots of extension cords! and the sky lights were covered with plastic usually, but i doubt they would replace the glass before someone moved in... it would just be a temporary fix haha, welcome to uruguay! :P
Good video, it these places are dumps to me. I guess your looking at lower prices . Something a little midrange would be interesting to see what you can get.
... in uruguay these are considered mid range. keep in mind minimum wage here is 16,000 pesos per month, and these homes were all 25,000->30,000 the building quality here is lower, lower regulations and less polished apearance. we could for sure show a full range from about 10,000 pesos up to 50,000 per month, to show you what a wealthy family would rent / buy. but keep in mind this is uruguay so this IS mid-range :P
Ho Guys I think you should try other neighborhoods like Capurro, Prado o some who is near to Av. Boulevard Artigas more specifically next to plaza Cuba in br Artigas and Av Agraciada. I recommend you this cause if you go to San Jose there's a bus stop right in plaza Cuba. If u need some more info please contact me and I'll be glad to help you.
Any time I see those grates and bars on doors and windows, I automatically deduct safety points from my evaluation. Better to have them than not in such a neighborhood, but better to live where they're not such a necessity.
Can I ask where you live now? Because every country has its issues. There is no risk of gun violence or VERY minimal here, and if you live in apartments many don't have bars because they have roller shutters instead. It's like a security blanket more than anything, and stops people from even thinking about TRYING to break in. It's not like south africa for example, where people scale walls and break own doors to break in.
@@MaddieAle "Every country has issues" is one of the most meaningless, but predictable, things anyone can say about issues of personal safety. The key is what kind of issues, how widespread they are, how severe they are, how seriously they are taken by the authorities, etc. The only place that whataboutism leads is to a hole in the sand where the speaker tries to bury their head.
Uruguay es mas caro que NY vine la semana pasada, Sevene Eleven 50% mas barato y por lo que veo en alquileres tampoco esta muy por debajo, 38000 pesos son mil euros.
I agree. Horrible depressing places. I was born in Uruguay. Now I am a retired senior in Canada and I was thinking about moving to Uruguay because I still have family and friends there. It's very expensive now and I couldn't afford a nice, clean, modern apartment close to the beach and have a good fun life there. Sad. I'd rather rent a room in someone's nice place than to rent something like this. Because these prices are what I could afford at the moment, if I want to have money left to eat and have a social life. Food in Uruguay is extremely expensive.
yea duh, these are pesos uruguayos per month because that is the currency you pay in. people have requested dollars but that is not always a good idea because the exchange rate changes daily.
Those are all the same. They only need to do one high rise with ocean view. Not everyone wants to live like that. Just go to Sothebys International and overpay there.
Hello Maddie, first time writing from Lima, Peru. Nice to find your video about Uruguay. As a designer and seamtress , you would probably be interested to know that Peru has the biggest textile center in all Latin America. One of the biggest in the World. Its name is Gamarra and has hundreds and hundreds of small textile shops . Tshirt designer, jeans, wedding dress, blankets, embroidery machines, etc. every possible goods we can make using textiles is done there. keyword Lima + Gamarra . We can go there , take our designs and ask for manufacturing in small to big quantities
I didn't know you were interested in visiting Lima. I invite you to see youtube channel about the streets of Lima -> "turista tu visita" BTW, Montevideo is very expensive in some items as eating out at a restaurant comparted to Lima. We have to multiply by 3 times. A lunch at an average non-fancy restaurant cost $3 here. Renting a new appartment cost 2/3 the prices you have shown here, but with additional ammenities as pool, gym, warehouse area, big lobby, cheap natural-gas connection , parking area, etc @@MaddieAle
Great video, I was looking at maybe moving or buying around that area one day. Please make more videos on how to get a place and everything else that is involved in the process. Like how to type of videos.
Hola chicos! Como me calienta el rostro de la gente acá para intentar alquilar cualquier cosa en pésimas condiciones y a precios delirantes!! Igualmente es algo de montevideo, porque en el interior entiendo hay mejores precios
Nice, informative video, as always! And thanks for including natural lighting as a category. That's so important. Any apartments I've looked at online always seem so dark, especially those which have that long tunnel-like feel to them. I'd be interested to know about some of the amenities in the various neighborhoods you mention. That could be a whole video on its own, though. I'm interested in traditional markets, artisan/rustic-style bakeries, good coffee shops (I said "good" 😁), shopping malls, grocery stores, convenience stores/bodegas, pharmacies, parks, etc.
there are markets in every neighbourhood and the day changes depending on the zone but they have "ferias" once a week! as far as other amenities, there are pretty much little stores like small supermarkets, vets, bakeries and fruit and veg stores on every corner, as well as a pizza place and a laundromat. Some neighbourhoods obviously will have more than others, but they all generally have those things within walking distance.
I don’t think it looks very nice there and there are cheaper places around the world with way nicer homes for same price or less. I feel there’s a better place for you 🕊
I never have been to Uruguay, but a few times to Mexico; I have my favorite places in Mex. Living in Canada, as most snowbirds travel to warmer areas during winters. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
You can find a beautifull 3 bed penthouse appartment with terraza in Ciudad Vieja for 28.000 to 32.000 , i wish you and hubby find a nice place , i enjoy your videos and your positive attitude .

I agree, I quite like malvin, its a nice neighbourhood and close enough to everything we need without being too expensive or feeling to city like.
@MaddieAle Definitely cuz around tres cruces it's insane if you don't like the city! Good luck, hope to see the next video 😊
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I like this stuff. It's my favorite.
ok thanks for sharing! what type of houses would you like to see next?
Would love to see more of these!
Grüße 🖖 nach Uruguay 🇺🇾 ❤😎
Und danke für die ℹ️ Infos.
Australians come to live in Uruguay 🆒
This was great! Maybe we can hire you as guides when we're there in a few months.

Thank you about video, interesting. 🙏
you're welcome
I lived in Montevideo from 2010 to 2022, i sure miss Montevideo and mostly Pocitos/Punta Carretas area. Looking foward for part 2!
yes those are my favourite areas really! lots of nice houses and la rambla is beautiful in that zone.
What made you leave?

do you have any special requests?
@@MaddieAle interested in 3 to 4 bedroom places with good views
30000 what per month?
❤❤❤

So grim..
and these are the NICE houses (or at least mid range)

What's rate of a Paso
You will have to google it, it changes often. Usually 1USD is about 40 pesos but it goes up and down.
prices in pesos per month
yea duh, these are pesos uruguayos per month because that is the currency you pay in. people have requested dollars but that is not always a good idea because the exchange rate changes daily.
Depressing AF. Please do a video of 60,000- 100,000 Pesos including high rises with ocean views.
Those are all the same. They only need to do one high rise with ocean view. Not everyone wants to live like that. Just go to Sothebys International and overpay there.
Western people are weirdos. lol
Yuck x 5
Thanks! You should just move to Michigan. Much cheaper, higher paying jobs, cheap cars, natural gas (energy) is basically free.
Just move to 🇺🇸
Cheap cars? 😂

I don’t think it looks very nice there and there are cheaper places around the world with way nicer homes for same price or less. I feel there’s a better place for you 🕊
you can definitley find MUCH cheaper places in other south american countries, but Uruguay is much safer! so it depends what you prioritise.
I never have been to Uruguay, but a few times to Mexico; I have my favorite places in Mex. Living in Canada, as most
snowbirds travel to warmer areas during winters. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
yes uruguay is quite different from mexico but i understand wanting to escape the winter!
Great video maddie number 3 was the one I liked most 😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉
honestly mine too! we considered moving into that one but then we found a different home that is in a better location, it is in part 2 :)
Is buying a house for 30k USD or less still possible and what would rent on it be, if it were to be rented out?
mi australiana fave
❤
House 3 (Malvin) the best!
yes of these options it really was the best!
You can find a beautifull 3 bed penthouse appartment with terraza in Ciudad Vieja for 28.000 to 32.000 , i wish you and hubby find a nice place , i enjoy your videos and your positive attitude .
What would it cost to rent an apartment like that?
No kids yet?
