    How much does a 3-bedroom rental cost in one of the safest countries in the world? Let's break down how much it costs to rent a home in El Salvador, specifically the greater San Salvador area (Soyapango-Ilopango, Mejicanos Ayutuxtepeque, San Salvador Centro, Escalon-San Benito, Antiguo Custcatlan-Nuevo Custcatlan, Santa Tecla - Merliot) and give you a general idea how much rent is by area in San Salvador, El Salvador.
    Please note: This video is meant as a realistic glimpse into the current rental market in San Salvador and all examples given are current Facebook Marketplace listings for 3 bedroom rentals inside San Salvador, El Salvador. I do not own the properties, I am not a realtor and have not set the prices. Since moving to El Salvador 13 years ago I have lived in 5 different rental homes inside San Salvador, El Salvador before ultimately finding our dream rental home 3 years ago just outside the city limits • My home in El Salvador... because as a general rule the further outside San Salvador you go the less expensive rent will be (with the exception of beach rentals especially these days)
    So with that said, why would you choose to live inside the San Salvador city limits? For the same reasons we did for so many years… San Salvador is where the majority of the shopping centers, malls, hospitals, embassies, bilingual schools, Universities, business centers, jobs, and people are. And Commuting in El Salvador is no joke traffic is a very real part of life here so while you may find a more economical rental elsewhere in El Salvador if you need to commute to the city on a daily basis especially during peak traffic hours you’ll be paying a high price in the way of gas and time in your commute.
    People seem surprised to find rental fees in San Salvador can be comparable to some areas in the US but I am quick to point out that El Salvador is currently one of the safest countries in the world, has year round sunshine, traditional family values, and an amazing sense of community. I wouldn’t want to live or raise my children anywhere else, because while living in El salvador is not free, for me and my family it’s priceless

    I'm salvadoreño by birth but only lived there til the age of 11. Now that president Bukele has changed the country for good I want to move back but these real estate prices are killing me, they're insane 😫 I've worked in the finance/accounting field for over 25 years in the US. I did a little research and analysis and it's my belief that there's a RE bubble waiting to burst. The current prices do not correspond with socio-economic realities of the country. As such there has to be a correction in the market soon.

      @@ThatExpatMom Thanks for your kind reply:) I was born in Sonsonate, I find it pretty hot there,perhaps La Libertad or Santa Ana, I’m more inclined to the west part of the country,tho, I visited beaches in the other part of country, (orient area) when I left I never thought I could return to live here again, is really encouraging to see the state of country now and since I always wanted to be a bilingual teacher, I think I have a shot to it now,LoL… one never knows ☺️

Please send me an email when you make the move (or if you have any questions) we would love to meet you one day.

    • @ThatExpatMom
      @ThatExpatMom  8 місяців тому +2

      That is a great question! It depends... Public school is free but private schools are not. The prices can range grately especially amongst the bilingual schools (these can get quite high especially if you like me have multiple children) but they can also have great perks asides from being bilingual (which is already amazing) like dual diplomos in both El Salvador and the US or college agreements with European sister schools. Most bilingual schools will be in San Salvador as well though there are a few outside. I will make a video on this very soon 😁 moving to El Salvador to be with my Salvadoran husband and grow our family was the best decision I ever made 💙

      @ThatExpatMom  7 місяців тому

      There are so many areas that meet this criteria. Are you interested in beach or town? Do you want to live close to other bitcoiners or would you rather immerse yourself in a local community?
      El Salvador is a small country less than 4 hours drive to cross from one end to the other but there is so much beauty everywhere. If you don't mind driving you can be in the mountains, beach, town, and city all in one day.

      El Salvador as a whole is a tropical country but there are areas while still sunny are cooler than others usually. The higher the elevation the cooler it is. If you stick to coffee plantation areas the climate is cooler than sea level for sure.

    • @ThatExpatMom
      @ThatExpatMom  8 місяців тому +3

      It really depends on the dog and level within the job but they are much lower than in the US for example a full time English teacher would make $500 a month and a bilingual rep at a call center can expect to make between 600-900 a month but the account manager could easily make 3k a month. A private Dr here will make a great living but it won't be comparable to the wages in the US either. Though starting a business is much easier here than the US too. There is definitely a trade off but I wouldn't want to live or raise my family anywhere else 💙

      Absolutely Jose. Cost of living in El Salvador is lower than the US overall especially when it comes to things like insurance and medical. It's just not an even 30% less for everything which is what most people imagine when they hear cost of living is less. Rent can be equal to some areas of the US as well as cost of food and gas and clothing and electronics can even be more expensive here.

      Rental costs in San Salvador are higher than many people expect but the examples I gave were all for 3 bedroom rentals in the city. You can find smaller homes for much less and homes just outside the city (like the one we rent) are much more economical if you are willing to commute.
