- Hello everyone!
This video is definitely longer than I expected it to be, but it's one topic that I've gotten many questions about, so I hope you find it helpful at least!
Rent in any country can be one of the most important things that people take into account when moving or visiting, so I wanted to give a good perspective on the subject as someone who has actually been living here both working directly in Argentina and for foreign companies.
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for this. For someone like me considering to relocate to BA, this kind of insider information is golden. Especially because Argentina seems to be a place of increasingly great interest to many in a time when Europe and the USA seem less and less apealing. Thnx again ;)
I'm glad the video was helpful! Buenos Aires is really a beautiful city, I hope you like it when you come over!
If Putin gets trigger happy, based on the declassified cold war maps, the only untouched areas on the planet will be the southern half of South America, southern Africa, and a few select remote Pacific Islands.
@@sabrinahuykehey i have a question hon, if i rented my house here in the usa for about 1 thousand dollars a month could me and my wife and son live confortably in BA…and thats without working…are jobs easy to find over there, maybe i should also work online and get paid in dollars…any thoughts? Thanks!
@@sabrinahuyke Is grass fed butter easy to find there?
This was amazingly helpful. Love the clear accent. everything was clear and explained well. I think this is one of the best and realistic rental advice you can get
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄
brilliant video!
you've been a fave of mine to watch and follow for info on Argentina
its so grounded and informative
Thank you for the support! I'm super happy the videos are helpful 😁
You have inspired me to live abroad. United States is 10 times more expensive than Argentina. What you pay for rent in a year I pay in one one month. You are truly winning in a beautiful city.
Very informative with no BS. GREAT JOB!
Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it!
Absolutely brilliant! A wonderful personal view, youthful and educated. I like your style of description.
When youre ready, show me the road and the rural?
Hey there, thank you for the comment! I'm very glad that you enjoyed the video, I appreciate the support 😄
Thank you! In another video it
would also be useful to know about:
1. How to go about finding an apartment; best websites and other sources for searching
2. Renting furnished vs. unfurnished
3. Requirements for signing a lease
3. Pets
Hey Sharon! Thank you for the support, I will take these ideas into account for another video!
Thank you so much .. love the detailed explanation of cost of living!
Thank you for the support! I hope the videos are helpful 😁
Great video. A lot of good information. Keep making them.
Hey! Thank you for the support, it measn a lot that you find them useful 😄
Thanks very much for the video
We have plans to move to Argentina - Some might think i am crazy
have lots of questions
1st question/comment
cant understand why you dont have more subscribers - great info well put together
so close to that 1000 mark
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your comment! It means a lot, I put a lot of effort into these videos and yes! I am so close to that 1k sub mark 😄
Really insightful video thanks!! 🙏
Thank you for the support!
I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for 10 years am in Buenos Aires Argentina now in San Telmo. I rented a one bedroom apartment for 600 dollars completely furnished with all the expenses included and it's a great safe neighborhood with everything that you need is within walking distance.
San Telmo is a beautiful neighborhood!
Sounds expensive
Dear
Your videos are full of gems 💎 ❤
Hey Gigi, thank you for the support! I really do appreciate it. I try to make the videos as helpful as possible 😄
Many thanks Sabrina ... I was thinking the same Re: "the apartment is on a MAIN street" = lots of car / street noise ... many thanks ... Joseph ☘
Thank you for the support Joseph! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Well done.
Thank you for making.
Your adding to this would-be retiree's knowledge of Buenos Aires.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄
You have a lot potential. You can become a very serious UA-camr. This is like a small lecture ( Class) about how to rent in Buenos Aires an apartment. I wish you a lot of success!
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! I am trying to put a lot of care into the videos and I'm glad they are helpful 😄
Thank you, it’s very informative 😊
Glad it was helpful!
@@sabrinahuyke ❤️
Great video. I would watch a 30 minute video of you just going through apartment examples in the same way you did half way through this video.
Thank you for the support Gavin, I really appreciate it! I am happy you enjoyed the video. I might do another one like this then haha.
Hello: Your video was VERY informative and I have searched information about the rental topic in Buenos Aires and yours has been the best. I believe you could elaborate further by informing your audience about... Furnished apartments and about Apps to search for rentals and cars and motorcycles. Cheers!!! Bill
Thank you for the support, Bill! I'm glad the video was helpful 😄
I'll definitely try to cover more on these topics!
would love a followup on this video - also besides the one rentalsite you used, are there more (reliable) sites
Love your channel. S0 glad I found you. Could you do a video on the people that come as "pensionados?"
Hey there! I am glad you enjoy the channel! I don't know much about it to be completely honest, I don't know anyone who has come to the country after retiring but I think some information can be found online about it. I just don't want to give any false information on this 😅
@@sabrinahuyke Could be a good niche to explore and acquire more followers......
Great work.very helpful.
I'm glad you found it helpful! 😄
Very good and very informative.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the support, it means a lot!
Do you think having A/C or heating in an apartment are needed? Also what are you thoughts about finding something on Airbnb and then seeing if the owner will let you rent off airbnb for cash? How much of a discount (roughly) do you think you could get doing that. Also do you think I could find an apartment off of Airbnb for 8-9 months and how would I do that being a foreigner?
Hi Sabrina, thanks for the detailed and informative post.since you have a very good narration skills, how about if you narrate the books you read and love .it will be so interesting.just an idea….
Thank you for the support! Hahaha I haven't thought about narrating anything before, I'll keep it in mind!
Great i hope to go there
Hey there, thanks for the video! I think the long form Is GREAT, I'd rather watch one long video than a bunch 8 minute videos with only high level information, it's sometimes frustrating because this topic NEEDS to be as specific as possible.
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it and it helps me decide how to move forward with the next videos!
Awesome video. Proximity to subways does not guarantee a good neighborhood.
- Blue Hill Ave, Dorcestor neighborhood of Boston
- 63rd St, Englewood section of Chicago
- Westchester Ave, Central Bronx in New York
- Kensington Ave, Kensington in Northeast Philadelphia (this one is really THAT bad)
All of these I have seen personally. My critical concern, again personally, is sure rents might be 400-700, but how difficult is it to earn ...say... 1800 a month there?
Hey there! Thank you for the support!
That's the part that's very nuanced here. Making 1800usd here, in an Argentinean company, is very complicated. That's why people tend to struggle with rent and other commitments.
In a nice place in Capital…I would need a 1 br for at least 600 USD per month, furnished and all included. With a remote USD salary, this would be super affordable. However, I also understand the displacement and gentrification this causes, and I’m a permanent Argie resident (but with a USD remote salary). Conflicted emotions here 😢.
Helpful vid, thanks for the upload @23:23 I'm assuming you mean 293 and not (200 AND 93) viz. The number would be between the quotient of 200 and the quotient of 93.
Yes, I meant 293, the current exchange rate is closer to 404 pesos per 1 dollar though! It changes a lot.
Great flow. Such a cutie you are too.
What's the name of the site you were pulling rentals from on video? Where would you suggest someone look if they desired quiet? I always look at new places while on vacation ...and Argentina BA is a likely next vacation.
Would you help someone find a place for a tip or is an agent necessary?
Thanks. Again, great show. Fast but not overwhelming or cluttered.
Hey there! The websites are www.argenprop.com/ and www.zonaprop.com.ar/.
I really have no experience helping people find rental spaces but I am sure you won't have a problem finding one! Haha. There are also short term rentals available in those websites, and Argentina is a great destination for a vacation!
@@sabrinahuyke Indeed. Thanks so much! I'm planning to go on vacation soon. Good Luck For You!!!!!
Like in most countries, renting through airbnb is still very good. Other than that cheapest things in Argentina are public transportation, internet and personal services such as hair, nails, massage, some medications and hospital procedures. Food is all bread based, menu choices very limited, taste average and prices a dollar less than US for half portion. Side options always mash or french fries. No sauces :(
Uhhhhh you just gave me a controversial opinion when it comes to food because I absolutely love the food here in Argentina, and from traveling there are very little places where I can say the food is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it is here. BUT it's true that sizes don't compare at all to sizes in The US.
You address some important issues related to relocation to BA from the USA with a North America liofe experience.
Thank you for the support!
The audio was really good in this video! I complain before, ha ha!
I saw a B.A. Apartment,on a video and it had an independent maids quarters and two other bedrooms,
For about TWO hundred dollars.
Please pronounce the Spanish language, slower.. that way we can figure out what/ where your talking about. And I like you're opinion about things. Thanks for your good work.
Thank you! I do try to improve on every video haha. I will try my best to pronounce Spanish slower, I've been told I speak too fast in every language 😅
That's a very informative video with detailed information. I'd add that there are way better apts than these. HOWEVER, because owners don't agree with having the 3 year long contracts and therefore remove their properties from the market and a lot of new apt are devoted to short term rentals, what happens is that these factors put a bigger strain to the apt shortage and thus you end up with these crappy apts.
Hey there! Thank you for the feedback, I actually hadn't taken this into account when it comes to the apartment shortage!
@@sabrinahuyke Yeah, the former worry about rents not keeping up with inflation (you can only raise once a year), the latter prefer the dollars or higher rates they can get from tourists. The government was toying with the idea of passing a law that prohibits having empty apts and push owners to put them up for rent. An even less popular solution.... smh
As a foreigner, good luck trying to find an apartment for 320 dollars…….no way Jose. Try more like 650 on the low side to 1500 dependent on location.
You are actually very right, I was looking at the rental prices now and even for residents the prices for a good apartment have gone WAY higher than they were when I made this video. It's crazy!
You are remarkably articulate, young lady.
Hey there! Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it! I also try my best to express myself correctly in the videos, so I am glad it seems to be showing 😄
top notch
Thank you for the support!
I was curious. Is it still convenient for us USA travelers to access blue rate cash? Another UA-camr recently complained that many Western Union shops were out of currency. Do you know something about this issue? Thanks.
Hey there! So it might depend, there are times when Western Union offices might have more or less cash than usual, normally the main office has more cash at hand but it will depend. Shortage of cash is a whole thing in and of itself, it's very difficult to predict when that will be a problem or not.
Hello and thank you for the video, could you help me understand what I am seeing? I am on Argenprop and I see similar properties for 10x as much as the ones who are seeing. some for 400,000 , 650,000, 800,000; all in the same neighborhoods and of similar quality. Has something drastic changed since this video or am i tripping and not reading the currency correctly.
Hey there! So yeah, prices have increased SIGNIFICANTLY. The exchange rate right now is about 1020 pesos per dollar, so you will see apartments are super more expensive than they were. Because this video is outdated I'm working on a new version of this, stay tuned!
Which app or website offers Argentina bank account for non residents?
Hey Anthony! I am not sure about that, I actually had a bit of a difficulty opening a bank account as a temporary resident, some banks require you to be a permanent resident. There might be some banks with options for non-residents but not that I am aware of, I'm sorry!
Hello dear , appreciate your content ☺️ could please let me know if you have any idea is international students coming with student visa apply for citizenship after being there for 2 years + ???
Hey there! Thank you for the support! I am not sure what the difference would be for students with a student visa, the biggest piece of the puzzle that I know for sure is that you would need at least the two years of legal residence, I'm sorry I can't be of more help!
We are an American family with two young daughters we know very little Spanish. Do you think BA/Argentina would be a good move for us? Thoughts on moving to BA vs somewhere south or rural?
Hey there! So, a lot of people speak English here, as long as you have the littlest base of Spanish, I think you can manage well enough, body language helps a lot! Haha. There are also a lot of billingual schools so the girls will have lots of options that will help them learn the language as well but still feel like they can make friends. I personally love BA because of all of the things it has to offer me as a young person, I get to have my friends relatively close and we can do many different activities. Moving somewhere else would be something to consider depending on your preferences, and I've never lived in other cities so I can't actually compare them!
Research Guatemala,many people there speak some English and some are fluent Guatemala is cheap compared to U.S. but more expensive compared to Argentina.Airfare to Guatemala is cheaper
from the U.S. compared to Argentina.

Good Info! How do you edit your videos?
Hey Bella! I actually work with an editor now because I was taking too long to edit the videos myself 😅
@@sabrinahuyke I totally get you! The quality is really good though!
Do you have any recommendations for rental agents? Many on Zonaprop just don’t answer messages.
Hey there Luis! I don't have many particular recommendations, depending on the agencies it might be better to call or send several email, I know it can be difficult to get a response so I tend to alternate between calling and sending whatsapp messages or emails.
Thanks for the reply and I hope you had fun on your European adventure. Buenos Aires actually reminded me a lot of Madrid. I ended up finding an apartment in Belgrano near a subte so I have access to the world!!! I am SOOOOOO excited!!!@@sabrinahuyke
I know your Trinidadian but did you try you try the Indian restaurant they have in BA?
I actually haven't! I'll have to try it 😁
@@sabrinahuyke Yeah it's pricey but it's a must have. I do miss Trini food from my ex friend she was from there.
Great video ❤. 5 years is long. Time. Have you ever faced racism there ?
Thank you for the support! No, I've actually never faced racism, or at least I've never noticed if anyone ever tried being discriminating like that? My overall experience in Argentina has been great, but I know that is not everyone's case sadly.
@@sabrinahuyke thank you. You are great spirit. Do you know how foreigners can rent at local rates in Argentina ? It will be good if you can do a video on current economic situation please. Great channel and greetings to you and all from the UK ❤️
Sabrina is it quite easy to find roommates In Buenos Aires, Argentina?
Hey Christopher! I'm sure it's rather easy, there are some websites that actually post bedrooms up for rent in shared apartments, and if there aren't you can probably post a bedroom in a shared apartment and people will contact you!
Great video...
How to get a license out there
Thanks for the support! I know that once you are a resident the process to getting a driver's license is the same as anyone else's, but I've never gone through that process so I can't say for sure!
🎉
😁
lady, tell me first, that if i arrive in argentina can i get a job(any) quickly?
Hey there! I don't really have an answer for that question, I'm sorry. I think it's a possibility but it really depends on what type of job you're looking for and the companies. In general finding a job is a very personal experience. I can't give you a definite answer.
You have intelligently researched the
rent issue , so perhaps you would care to devulges the part of town YOU live in, on some future vid.
Thanks against!
You are great for youtube also you would make a good real state agent. Don't give up you are entertaining. Maybe encrease post frequency
Hi I’m moving to Argentina you help me to find one apartment to rent? 😊
Hey there! I am not really experienced in helping people rent apartments, but you can go to pages like Argenprop and Zonaprop to look for rentals!
@23:26 why is there a Mexican flag? Is it Mexican pesos instead?
Haha no! It's argentine pesos, editing mistake hehe
I was freaking out about that!!? 😅
Living there for five years? Are you a citizen of Argentina
Hi there! I'm the process of getting the citizenship 😄
16 minutes in, says let's look at prices that anyone can find online..I'll take my chances and find info other ways
Hey Michael! I'm sorry the video wasn't valuable for you, I really do try to make them informative and helpful. How could I have made it better for you? My idea was to give perspective on what could be considered cheap or expensive taking different things into account, even if prices can be found online, without any context of the city, people might not know if they are getting a good deal or not, but I would love to hear how you think I could have improved the video Thank you!
Great Job Travel Invest Enjoy 🇦🇷
Thanks! 😃
@@sabrinahuyke Appreciate you
This video is of adequate quality per the duration of the video @26:41
Thank you for the support! 😄
In other words you'll get what you pay for!
Hahaha basically I guess! 😆
Can immigrants buy property? Great vid, thank you.
Hey there, thank you for your comment and for the support! So immigrants who are residents here in Argentina can purchase property for sure. Residents have essentially the same rights as Argentine nationals, except maybe for voting and even then, as a permanent resident you can vote in some elections!
Can I pay you to help me with my move and settle? 😅 I also need a tour guide and connection down there 😎 lol
Hahaha I am not sure that I can settle your entire move! But if you'd like to chat about what you need to actually get done or answer any questions you have, check out my ko-fi page and you would be able to schedule a call with me! 😄
@@sabrinahuyke ok what’s the link? 🔗

Rent is most important for a 'favorable' budget ! -- $160 - $240 - $320 > would have me expecting not to pay more than about $200 or so for a nice studio - & - be happy there ! --?-- Fully furnished of course. -- Close by transportation good cheap food and shopping ? --- Argentina is '''supposed''' to be cheap (?) remember ? --- Not so sure it really is ??? --- Your rent is not so bad for 2 br.'s ?
Hey there Frank! Thank you for your comment!
So you might be able to find some fully furnished options for along that budget, but in general terms furnished apartments are more expensive. Rent in general is a complicated subject, you might find some options that are ridiculously cheap and you might find some others that are way too expensive. It really depends on the arrangement that you are able to find.
After living here for almost 6 years and having visited other countries, I do believe that Argentina is on the cheaper side when it comes to the cost of living and the type of life you can afford. But that always depends on your expectations! I hope this helps and that you enjoy the content! 😄
@@sabrinahuyke Thank you for the response. -- $5000 for a visa so Argentina priced themselves out of my consideration given the expense of also getting there from the US ! -- Looks like either Cuenca Ecuador or Bucaramanga Colombia at this point. Both are cheap closer to the US and have good healthcare. Many more US expats and English speakers in Cuenca. A little cheaper and easier to get to Bucaramanga. > Buenos suerte.
I figure out that your spanish must be very porteño right now
I think it depends on who you ask 😂
If you ask people in Buenos Aires, I still sound Venezuelan, if you ask Venezuelans I don't sound Venezuelan, if you ask Chilean people I DO sound porteña 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This editing is unbearable! Youre not making these kinds of videos for 15 year olds, but for 25 / 30+ years plus that consider going there longterm and can afford it - they can go 30 seconds without any additional editing features. just talk, youre good at that! putting the argentina picture everytime when you say argentine is just ridiculous
Hey Johnny! Thanks for the support and the feedback. I will take this into account, I'm still very much experimenting with the topic and style of the videos so I appreciate the patience while I land on something that works and that I'm comfortable with 😁
Advice. I like your channel and try to support but. But stop rambling and get to the point. I think you'll gain more followers and more views. Outline your thoughts and hit the points quickly. I'm trying to move into a cheap country wanted to find out about Argentina but clicked off after 2 mins cause I didn't get info I needed. Good luck
Hey there! Thanks for the support, I'll take it into account! I do try to improve the information and the delivery of that information in every video 😁
Great video but you'retalking too fast & and getting overwhelming!!😂🎉❤😊.Some of the apartments were good enough. You're a bit too fussy.🫨🙄
Dirt cheap
This video is super long winded. Too much filler. Please in future videos get to the point. I’ll watch because I love my Trini folks
Hey Jaymeez! You... are right 😂
When I saw the video was over 25min I was super surprised. The structure of my videos is something that I am working on with every video I make, so hopefully the next ones will be a bit better 😂
How do you pay your rent at the blue rate? Do you pay your rent in cash?
Hey there! So, the rent is paid in pesos directly to the agency, what rate you get depends on how you change the money!
