Buenos Aires Expat Rentals: Video Tour of 6 Apartments in Palermo and Recoleta

[@markrush2319]

I lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years. Today you can rent a one bedroom in a great neighborhood for around 600 dollars a month, including everything.

[@nomadicfire]

That's a great deal. Can you share some links? I have lots of folks who are looking.

[@Atrass7]

share link hermano plz

[@Bobxchen333]

To rent an apartment you need a surety insurance, (seguro de caucion). But to get that you need an Argentine ID card. How do you get those?

[@markrush2319]

@Bobxchen333 Have you ever rented an apartment in Buenos Aires? Cash is king in Buenos Aires. I was in Buenos Aires Argentina in 2022 during the World Cup. I rented an apartment in San Telmo from an owner for 6 months for 650 dollars 💸 a month with everything included. If you can pay in cash, you won't have to go thru all this red tape.

[@markrush2319]

The owner of that apartment only wanted to know if I had a valid passport, and I did.

Well done! Yes - this is material we would-be BA expats need after we've watched a few "what a great city BA is!" videos. (Yes - I'm sold on BA, now I need to get done to the brass tacks of getting set up there.) Thanks for making!

[@nomadicfire]

I'm glad you found it useful. If you haven't already, check out the "Things I wish I knew about renting in Buenos Aires." That vid has essential brass tacks tips for renting an apartment.

[@qarionlineeducation]

Amazing information but you need to change mic

[@nomadicfire]

Thanks for the feedback. We had an undetected technical issue with our mics for two videos. Our latest videos should be much more clear. Cheers!

[@giuseppe9501]

Nice apartments. I wonder how some people who live there afford them considering the average income for a single person hovers around $600 per month. (From what I hear)

[@nomadicfire]

Consider that Buenos Aires is massive. The Metropolitan area has 15 million people. The city itself has 46 neighborhoods, each with different price ranges for housing. We focused on the apartments in neighborhoods with restaurants, amenities, and lifestyle that appeals most to expats. Prices are always higher in the most desirable areas of a city. Buenos Aires is no exception.

[@dl5270]

We're literally neighbors - our apartment is on Paraguay and Arevalo, your loft is like a block away!

[@nomadicfire]

Haha... Great neighborhood. Have you eaten at Cang Tin?

[@dl5270]

@@nomadicfire not yet! We tried twice, but they couldn't sit us! Is this your favorite place in the area?

[@nomadicfire]

@@dl5270 I have lots of fav places in Hollywood :) Here is my article which includes my favorite places to eat in the neighborhood. nomadicfire.com/explore-palermo-hollywood-buenos-aires Short Answer: Mirutaki Ramen (sushi), La Pulpería de Francisco (empanadas), Hierro (tomahawk steak)

[@nomadicfire]

Cang Tin is good, but like everything, the prices are getting up there. Fair warning though, I found the pad thai and pho bo underwhelming. The Vietnamese Bánh Xeo and Thai Khao Soi were really good though.

[@dl5270]

@@nomadicfire Thank you for the tips! We can't find a good sushi ANYWHERE in Argentina, so will try Mirutaki (funny enough, we just checked out an apartment in the building next to it)

[@duncanmac2195]

I have a gf from Buenos Aires. She says to rent a house is about $400. Watch out for the gringo taxes. Same as in Costa Rica. They rip you off. Locals can't pay that.

[@nomadicfire]

Buenos Aires is huge. It's one of the biggest capitals in the world. There are apartments to fit ever budget. Did you see the example of a $400 budget apartment we considered in Retiro, just outside of Recoleta?

[@joshua-nf3rx]

If a gringo tax is still 50/70 percent cheaper than America then it’s fair

[@morgenkaffe]

Hey bro, I like your videos, but the sound quality is really crappy. Did you remember to turn on the noice cancelletion of your mic? It clearly has an ecco, maybe also the room your are standng in. Just saying to be friendly. I wonder why you only have 356 subs (my self included) with such a nice content. Well keep up the great work.

[@nomadicfire]

Hey Morgen, We had a technical issue with our mics that went undetected for two videos. It's fixed now and our new videos should be much clearer. Thanks for looking out. While our website has been around for years, our KZbin channel is new, so we appreciate the feedback. Cheers.

[@NotTimothyW]

Do you have any videos in San Telmo?

[@nomadicfire]

I don't. I honestly wasn't keen on the neighborhood much. It wasn't my vibe.

[@michaelwallace203]

I'm looking to rent an apartment for about 2 weeks in the Caballito area.

[@nomadicfire]

For periods that short, Airbnb or Booking.com will be your best options.

[@PassportDialectic]

You look Samoan. A word of advice. Half the video is explaining what’s in the video. A little less talking and more TO THE POINT.

[@nomadicfire]

Thanks bud. I appreciate the feedback. I will take it into account for future videos. Cheers!

[@fernandadegio1111]

Begginers guide please 🙏🏼

[@morgenkaffe]

I have a question. When someone travel to Argentina, they dont need a visa if they stay only 90 days. How long do they have to stay outside Argentine (Lets say Bolivia or Uruguay) before they again can enter Argentine for abother 90 days stay without visa?

[@nomadicfire]

Your question is very timely, we are putting the finishing touches on our Visa Run video answering all you need to know about Argentina/Uruguay visa runs. Hit that notification bell and you 'll be the first to know when it is released later this week. Short answer: You can do a visa run and re-enter the same day.

[@Sinergy42]

Por 2mil dólares yo preferiría gastarlos en una mansión en Nordelta. Saludos !

[@nomadicfire]

Yes, those houses are quite beautiful. But not everyone wants to live that far from the city.

[@Freedom101]

Thank you💫

[@nomadicfire]

No problem 😊

Recoleta - Heard it was a nightmare getting a apartment lease in BA compared to other cities

[@nomadicfire]

There are definitely a lot more hoops to jump through than other countries I've lived in. Did you see our latest video? I talk about common mistakes expats make when renting in Buenos Aires. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKvOon5spZV_mcUsi=NiCwC029dnf-4SiZ

[@v1nc3nt_v3ga]

@@nomadicfire actually I did! It's what got me to start watching almost everything you have on Argentina. Very informative stuff sir! Especially the stuff on Real Estate Agents...but I have been having real difficutly talking with actual owners where we were looking at (Pinamar and MarDel) and most of the stuff along the beach are agent listings with property management companies. As far as BA goes. That is a whole different animal from what I have been able to tell and has been a utter nightmare. Hardly anyone responds to any inquiries. I was really dreading going the airbnb route but I'm dreading having to try and shell out 24k in 100's for a 12 month lease.

[@CS-nn6st]

Could I get the links please

[@nomadicfire]

Sure. To confirm, are you looking for the P2P WhatsApp groups or the real estate group?

What about apartments for sale

[@nomadicfire]

We didn't look into purchasing. We were not comfortable with the potential complications of getting money out of the country if we sold the flat later.

[@gnolan4281]

Thanks for the excellent neighborhood map tool. Passing off less desirable neighborhoods for the more desirable ones is a common practice in my city of Medellin too. For those of us who know the city the discrepancies are laughable. Is there much of an unfurnished apartment market in BA also? I'd prefer to buy my own furniture and maybe get a cheaper base price on the rent. Thorough content and the hours that went into this are much appreciated.

[@nomadicfire]

Yeah, the neighborhood thing is frustrating, especially because Google maps doesn't highlight neighborhoods when searching address. There are plenty of unfurnished apartments, but they tend to all be long-term rentals.

[@gnolan4281]

@@nomadicfire Great, long term would suit my needs best.
