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.

[@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.

[@PK-df1uq]

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.

[@Lawman212]

Digital nomad folks are always interested in the quality of internet connection. If you make more vids, I would be interested to hear more about the service your place has, and the difficulties of finding reliable Internet connections.

[@13elementbey]

The view is phenomenal!!!

[@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.

[@dareasonx24]

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

[@wavnino1]

hows the area you live in ?

@wavnino it's safe but it's colombian AF you ll need to have decent spanish . Rarely do you see expats or foreigners in Villavicencio

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.

That place is fantastic! I would DEFINITELY live there rather than in the city area. Not much vids out there on modern apartments that are in the hills...

[@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.

$250 USA is over a billion Colombian dollars. The average income is $10 a day. I believe an apartment on a mountain in the USA is more than $2000. New York City is $10,000 a month for something like that.

I would like to come and see your place and rent it, if it's not available perhaps you could tell me something similar in that area. One question, you go out a lot to eat, are there restaurants nearby or do I need to hire my own chef? Thank you very much.

So many foreigners have Medellin KZbin channels. I’ve always liked this kid, he should do more videos. I think he knows the city more than most of the foreigners. Lol I’m not sure his costs are correct for visitors.

[@lukasschmidt5778]

Hey man what an amazing apartment with an astonishing view. Makes me really curios if the area has al the basic needs for a westerners lifestyle. Like is there a decent gym in the area and do they sell stuff like soy milk in the grocery store? Also I wonder how to rent such a place. Would be glad for some information. :)

[@petertrzos6645]

please, leave your need for soy milk in the states, Columbia doesn't need US nonsense!

If you want to move to Colombia you need to make money online. And I prove everything to do that. Some of you might have to fix your personal credit first but it will be worth it.
