I think so too especially now that I have lived here long enough. But unfortunately, a lot of the people I know pay more than 1k (mostly foreigners) for their flat a month. If you look at Airbnb today, there are still rentals that go beyond 1k. Although my next flat was only $600 around the same area, but a studio without amenities.
That price here it would be in puerto madero or a luxury tower.. but you get nice places por 450/500/600$ here 100 dolares are 100.000 pesos but also is not so much money..
Hahaha that’s like a cool nickname. I grew up with LL Cool J 😅 Palermo Hollywood is a great neighborhood. Enjoyed my stay here. 😇 Thank you so much and I’m glad you found this vid helpful.
When you said its 1,800 a month with all the things included i was mind blown.. while watching the vid i though it was gonna be around $4,500 or more! we live in georgia and we pay $1,500 (wifi,tap,heating NOT INCLUDED!!!) for a little apartment where EVERYTHING is broken... Argentina really is cheap. holy freaking crap!!!
This is even a bit expensive in Argentina. You can comfortably live in a $600-$800 apartment with the same amenities as this one if you don't rent through Airbnb .
@@colonelnoah yes bro, you can live in this country with lees than 500 USD per month for sure. I just watched a video of a couple moving from Russia and they have a passive income of 500 and that's more than enough.
@@colonelnoah thanks to the power of the USD/Euro a lot of people choose to live here so they can save money. I met people from USA who worked in IT that came here to save money and now they even have the Argentine citizenship.
It is quite expensive for Argentina. But I guess that if you only speak English, the minute the realize you are a foreigner they will double the price. They did on my face in BA once. You can get that same unit for half the price thru a local friend.
Definitely expensive for Argentina standard. I got this apartment through Airbnb. And yes, I didn’t have any friends to help me and the Facebook rentals don’t have this type of apartment. Also they require other documents I can’t provide like a local ID. But I did find a way cheaper apartment after here that’s I think good for the price to apartment ratio.
Hey LJ. I am a Pinoy who used to live in Rio de Janeiro, and I'm so glad I stumbled on this vlog. The apartment looks very good, but I guess the price was too high. Anyway I'm thinking of spending a few months in Buenos Aires in the future, so I look forward to your future vlogs.
Wow, that's such a great apt, sure it's "expensive" but considering that's through airbnb and with all the nonsense with the different exchange rates I don't think its that bad. hope you enjoy living in Bs As, it's such a beautiful city, How long are you planing to stay there?
Yeah, I really wanted my first apartment to just breeze through with all the process of renting. And Airbnb was my easiest route. As of today, I’m already out of BA, lived there for approximately 3 months. I did have an amazing time there! I have a few more vlogs coming. 😊
I speak enough to get around. But not that fluent. Although I understand more. Sometimes it’s needed here coz I’ve had encounters when no English was spoken at all. Google translate helps too lol
It amazes me how an industrial modern home (2,000+ quare foot) in Merída, Mexico is way cheaper than this apartment in Palermo, Argentina, considering the money exchange. 🤔 (Merída is just a short flight away from Florida)
I looked into it also on why the price was that high. Unlike almost everything here, rental for foreigners in BA (short-term) is almost tripled especially if you get it through Airbnb. One way to get the “local” pricing is going through the DNI route (you have to get a local ID) and use the local rental agencies or sites. I have a friend (local) who lives here in BA, she has a modern high rise building, 1 bed room with amenities and her rent is $800. I looked at Airbnb on the same building and it’s $1750.
@@J.D.Vision Yep, did that for my second rental. It’s amazing what Facebook can do 😄 Although most of the rentals still require DNI for short term. But if you pay cash in advance for the whole stay, it’s negotiable. 😁
@@Max-qi3hg You need to be a permanent resident (apply for a residency) to quality for the DNI. All those foreigners who are entitled to enter and stay in Argentina can start the procedure to issue the ID, “Documento Nacional de Identidad” (DNI) for foreigners, in Argentina. The DNI can be issued by two means: - “Por ventanilla unica”: This way, you can start the residency and the DNI procedures together. This can be done in the head office entitled by the “Dirección Nacional de Migraciones” (DNM) [Migration office]. - The traditional way: This way is for those who wish to take the DNI and their residency is already done. This can be done in the offices of the Public Registries or “Centros de Documentación rápida” authorized by the DNM. In the interior of the country, all Civil Registries are authorized to issue the DNI.
Hi, Thank you for your video! Any pointers on flights? Is there an airline you prefer? I will be flying to Argentina from California. I would appreciate any help. Million Thanks!
Hey, you're welcome! I took an Avianca flight with a lay-over in Bogota (1 and 45 minutes lay-over) but my flight was delayed, so it was a rush to transfer to the next flight. Although, they know and waited for every passenger connecting to Buenos Aires. Service was good, not the best not the worst either. I was lucky to be upgraded to business class because of the delay. So, Avianca can be an option for you from California . Just watch out for the lay-over times, I'd suggest longer than 2 hours to be safe. You still have to go through security check during your lay-over. You also have AirMexico, COPA and LATAM from LA. I've flew with them multiple times and I feel like they have the same service as Avianca. Also in the affordable category. Also I think there are American airline companies like United, AA, etc. They tend to be more expensive. And btw, check your flights if they offer free food. Coz depending on the flight and ticket you bought, food is not free. But they sell it on the flight. I had a cold ham and cheese sandwich as a meal on a business seat, that's it. lol I hope this helps a bit.
Hey LJ, gf and I have been staying in an Airbnb in BA for the past couple of months. About to begin looking for longer term local rentals. We saw your video and love the layout of this condo -- would love to check out if there's any off-Airbnb rentals available. What's the name of the condo building?
Hey! It’s called FLATS in Argentina. And that’s the address - Paraguay 5635, Buenos Aires, Argentina. There where a few vacant units when I was there. I hope you guys find one. Best of luck guys! 👍
Is it true it’s extremely hard for a foreigner to open a bank account ? I’ve heard this in other videos about BA, but I’m wondering if someone who gets direct deposit as in SS /retired government check each month I wonder if that’s better Thanks
Most banks require a social security number, which non-citizens don't have. This is the most common problem that foreigners realize. However, larger banks such as US Bank, TD Bank, Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo will allow non-residents to set up a checking account and a savings account. Although they are more likely to scrutinize dollar accounts.
Hey Eduardo, as much as I want to help you out, my knowledge in property acquisition is very limited. I feel that I’m not qualified to give any advice. I apologize.
@@eduardosanchez2130 Unfortunately, I already left. It had a been a great few months! Although I will be posting a few more Argentina content. I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of them. And your country is beautiful 👏👏👏

@@max0192 Possibly, maybe around 800 for a similar loft type. My next rental was 600 but it wasn’t like this one but they are in the same neighborhood.

Yes! This is a splurge on my first month in Buenos Aires. My studio apartment rental in New York City was $2750. So for me at this time I felt like I saved. But of course in know this was not sustainable for me in the long run.
