What $700 Gets You In Colombia

[@MrGodspeed182]

I visited Pereira for 5 days and fells in love with the place, I Bought a 1400 sq ft apartment for under 200k in the nicest area of the city. Has a over sized balcony with a hot tub over seeing the mountains. You can’t beat cost of living there compare to the US.

[@vickynoname9860]

If you paid to close to 200k I think you over paid for the square footage.

[@sharknato6572]

@Vicky Noname true my friend bought a 5 bedroom apartments in medellin for 140 . It's almost like a penthouse. 200k sounds like he got scam 🤣

[@Iamrich00]

@@sharknato6572 Depends the area. is not the same if u buy in a really nice place like Envigado than if you buy it in the top places like El poblado or Llano grande

[@MM-bb1qc]

200k is overpriced and overpaid

[@chrisbullock6477]

My father in law if from there. I'm glad its not overran with gringos like Medellin is! And it has so many places outside the city to visit and explore. But I can also speak the language which is a plus.

[@TheHolyActivist]

The Colombian architects really appear to have a great taste. I've seen so many awesome places there (online). Better than anything I've seen in Europe or the US, and very affordable in comparison.

[@retabiyo]

Colombia is my Country and it never fails to amaze me, the number of foreigners coming to live here is suprising, it's true there are some areas in the country where you´d rather not live due to social issues and violence, but Medellin and its surrounding towns are safe for the most part and beautiful too... just use common sense like you would do in any other city in the world and you´ll be good... if you´re a visitor and you need a word of advice about life in Medellin my homecity I´d be glad to help

[@randymillhouse791]

Colombia is becoming gentrified. Americans will hopefully believe the American propaganda and stay away.

[@emixxy5640]

Hey, since u offered your advice it’d be great if you could help me. What would you say are the cities with the lowest crime rates in colombia? I’d love to work there for half a year and was wondering if my looks (blonde, blue eyed ,5‘8 woman) make it kind of unsafe for me? Greetings and thank you in advance:)

The price def depends on where you live in colombia. I live in Villavicencio. I have a house with 2 floors. 5bdrooms, 2 bath, garage and balcony and it costs 260 a month usd. This same house in medellin will probably cost about 1k now a days

[@chrisbullock6477]

I respect the ones that actually love the culture and make the efforts to speak the language.

[@randymillhouse791]

Wait for it. Americans will go there for the affordability and expect all Colombians to speak English.

[@chrisbullock6477]

@randymillhouse791 Let's be honest here the minorities know it's usually the older senior or young professional White American crowd who actually have plenty of money and resources to buy whatever they want that choose those places because they want something for nothing so they can still feel like their living in luxury. They don't mind living around the locals if it means they can still live like Upper class. Just like in the stated in poor areas that get gentrification.

WELCOME TO MEDELLIN 🎉On March 17, TIME magazine included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. And in January THE NEW YORK TIMES also included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. ❤ Medellin is the #1 city in quality of life in Colombia, it has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists, also Medellin is an intelligent tourist destination and is a special district of science, technology and innovation.

[@boblob-law9401]

I'd say the landscape and weather of that area in Columbia matches best with Northern California. Considering that you're about an hour outside of a major city, I'd compare it to somewhere like San Ramon, CA (about an hr away from San Francisco). If we compared the price of a unit like that in a suburb of a major city in California, it would probably run you about $3000 a month. I'm thinking about going to school for an associate degree of some sort, so I can get a nice high paying digital Nomad job. I'm tired of working my ass off, just to live paycheck to paycheck in a broke down 1 bedroom apartment.
