Living cost

[Butterpopcorn]

How much is the average living cost for four people in Argentina?
How much is the rent for a four-bedroom house in a safe area?

Argentina is very expensive now and the costs of renting a 4 bedroom house would shock you . I would say the minimum for a 4 bedroom house furnished today would be close to US$ 3.500 or more . If you are from Korea you will find most items in Argentina are much more expensive including, food , clothing, electronics, furnishings , etc etc . To give you an idea prices in us dollars since 2005 have gone up over 400% . A meal for one that would have cost you US$ 10 maximum atm now is US$ 40.

You probably think since the rent is high, it's good to become a landlord. No, that 4 bedroom apartment has a monthly expense of $1500 dollar or more. Everyone is screwed. But if you have to come to Argentina, you have to.

Are you talking about 2 year contracts for Argentines or short term rental prices?

When I lived in Argentina about 5 years ago, my then Argentinian girlfriend paid 400 USD (2 year contract) vs me 1000 USD (short term), both a single bedroom.

I wonder who would be paying 3500 USD, not many I guess. I will be back for 3 months in September and hope to find a single bedroom apartment in Palermo for around 1000 USD.

IMHO, the prices quoted by Perry are too high. Prices in dollars have gone up "only" 250% since 2001, when they were ridiculously low. Anyway, Argentina is wildly expensive now. To be in line with USA prices, the dollar would have to be worth about thirty pesos.

1 bedroom apartment vs. 4 bedroom house are 2 very different things. Neighborhood matters too.

2 rooms appartment 35 mts2 is about 470 usd and 100 mts2 is about 750 usd. But the usd is skyrocketing.

The prices I have quoted are based on 10 years knowledge of valuating properties in Capital Federal . House rentals in middle class areas for 4 bedroom properties are minimum US$ 3,500 per month or more . I have left a link attached of all the houses for rental in Palermo . Belgrano, and Villa Crespo and the average price is even higher than my quoted price
