Today we're touring this $500 apartment in Medellin Colombia that my friend Jeff just rented. If you're wondering why anyone would move to Medellin Colombia, then this Medellin apartment tour will probably help you understand. Living in Medellin Colombia as an American, this is a very cheap option but obviously for Colombians this is not a cheap apartment in Medellin..it's actually meant for high-income earners and most locals can't afford something like this. Medellin is one of the cheapest digital nomad destinations and if you're thinking about moving to Colombia from the US, I think this is a great start!

If you are not from Colombia and you are considering moving here, please know that most Colombians do not speak English and should not be obligated to in a day to day basis since this is a Spanish speaking country. If you just want to learn the basics do it and get by with it but do not get annoyed when people do not speak english. Also, if you are coming to a new country and you cannot deal with the culture, don´t be entitled and expect things to go here as they go in the US, if you are able to keep an open mind and adapt, come. If you can´t, don´t come at all. We are getting tired of rude, disrespectful and entitled americans over here.
I understand that and that is why I’m learning the language for the last 10 months.
Sorry man but that goes for both ways. Lots of people from latam come over here and they expect me to speak their language when in reality they should start learning my language
@Jason-nt6rp Yeah, and a lot if Americans have been very vocal and racist about it. I wouldn't mind the attitude if it wasn't for the fact that Latinos are treated like crap over there and still gringos come here expecting special treatment.
@@jun9475 i agree about westerners being arogant when visiting other non western parts of the world, expect the locals to live by the same set of values as they do back home... why bother exploring different places then? In Thailand an Australian family tried to lecture a local real estate about their rental props ads (landlords prefered certain races as tenants) - it may be wrong in Australia or US but other countries are not woke and if thats what they want that is what they get, should the west drop bombs on them to change their ways, it did not work so well in the past 2 decades doubt it will change anytime soon
If you think that, it’s only gonna hurt you if you don’t know the language. Whether you expect them to know your language, even though you’re going to their country, chances are you’re gonna need something more than they will.
He looks very happy and satisfied 👍🏽🇺🇸
We have peace here in Colombia.
I've been going to Colombia since 2020, I love it there. I just keep going back.
I know how you feel.
Thanks for sharing viewpoints of a traveler or an expat
You're a winner! Bad chicks and PS5!! I too work online for like a decade now or more, no kids and passport in hand! You're living the dream!!! I just signed my lease today for $850 a month and its tiny 1 bed in Wisconsin. no garage or place to BBQ. This is wrong!!! I will be following your lead, NEW SUB!! GOD BLESS!
Yea bro time to escape the matrix. $850 USD could get you a penthouse out here.
Just want to add Jeff is winning in life and my guy running this page
Anyone who can figure out to own their time and financial freedom ALREADY WON the monopoly GAME OF LIFE
When homeboy said fauxs and then lighning struck was accidental 🔥
Amazing bruh
Thank you. What other kind of content would you like to see?
I’m happy for U. IM FROM MIAMI, I WILL JOIN YOU SOON!
See you soon!
Great video.......very informative.
I have made 4 trips to Colombia and I love it. I'm a teacher but teaching positions are not very lucrative in Colombia. I'm trying to figure out what sort of online work I could do to support myself there. I'm itching to move out there.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Good info. Medellin is probably the best city worldwide because it's got the good weather year round plus such cool 😎 people. Top that off with the fact that if you want some really hot 🔥 weather, you can go to Santa Fe de Antioquia. If you want cooler weather, you can go and hang out in La Ceja, Rio Negro or El Retiro on the weekend. If you want to have a different experience, hop on a bus to Guatape and Peñon Rock. There are even cool towns to visit like Jardin or Jericho in South West Antioquia for a weekend. Medellin has it all not to mention Envigado city and Sabaneta city just a few minutes away by cab.
Antioquia is the best region of Medellin. I love Envigado // Sabaneta area for long term living when in the city.
BS, I've been in Medellin the last 2 weeks and its VERY HOT here. Hotter than summer in most US places. Mexico City and Honolulu weather is much cooler during the day and night. And Mexico is comparable in cost of living. "City of Eternal Spring" is NOT accurate sorry. I haven't sweat this much in many years and I travel and live all over the world. I'm already excited to fly back to Mexico City so I can cool off lol
I'm paying $450 a month for a studio in Minneapolis and it's only that cheap because it's for disabled veterans with low income.
I’m on the way
Hey can you do more videos on apartments like this?
2:19 WHOA 😳 You have a dope apartment, but is your balcony view of a waste treatment facility? Holy Moly, i’ve seen it all now. Don’t drink the water, is all I gotta say. We’re buying a home in Medellin in the next couple of years.
Obviously it isn't located in el Poblado, Estadio, o Laureles....in Bello y Belen there are cheap apts
This is a nice apartment. Even though it's not technically Medellin he's in, it's still a great place with a great view. Keep up the good content my friend!
Ohh snap it’s Medellin Buzz. I’ve been seeing you with that guy Joel everywhere. Let’s connect!
Yea he’s deep. I agree with you
@@FelixTheTraveler yessir, liking your videos. 👍
@@FelixTheTravelerIn which part of the city is this, please?
This guy is living in the north part of the Valley, is either the city of Bello or Copacabana, which are both part of the whole metropolitan area of Medellin
@@DondiniMontefuscosee below
Out here blowing up the spot
The spot has been blowed up lol
@@FelixTheTraveler so true lol
This is solid bro!!!! I'm about to take a trip out there!
Got too bro. You will love it!
Great video! My family and I are considering the move. Where in Medellin is this?
Bello
why area is this, how do I get started on the process, I don't know where to start. Visa wise etc
A view of the sewer treatment plant? And the smell?
Whats a good website there to find apartments?
WOW...wheres this building i'm ready...need info How far from shopping, etc
Don't u need a guarenteeor to rent?
What part of Medellín is that apt in?
next to the sewers? what does it smell like?
How did Jeff find that apartment?
Technically this apartment is in the Aburra Valley , but its NOT in Medellin. Decent typical apartment . But Its in "Bello" and almost Copacabana tbh and in front of the sewage treatment plant , I imagine there will be some sour smelling odors depending on the direction of the wind and weather.
🤣🤣
Dude looks like a Latino Laurence Fishburne. “Morpheo”
Which part of Medellin is this? Thanks for the video.
North of Bello
Hi, May I ask which neighborhood he moved in?
Columbia can’t be compared by equating Medellin to Miami rental market
In that case
How about
social infrastructure
Security
Medical emergency
Medical expertises in case of emergency
Medellin is a different should be compared just like that
We choose to ignore many aspects of life
Considering just superficially doesn’t work in reality
One must keep essentials handy in case of emergency situations
As well, most of us choose to ignore
I want a apartment like this in bello any recommendations I want something like this
Yeah but what do you do for work ?
is this in bellow? how are you able to pay that much? do you have a roommate?
Where is this in medillin
Few questions.....how are you staying longer than 6 months? Also.....is this a year lease? And how much are you gonna have to shell out for furniture?
We both got VISAs
How do you avoid being robbed, drugged, etc? I want to visit Columbia, but I need to know how to stay safe.
How did he get citizenship?
Quick question, is that the water, sewer, or sanitation plant below that balcony?
100% a sewage treatment plant.
@@anthonys.6038 then that spot there is a no-go. 😂
Congrats on the move to Medellin! Wow that is an amazing penthouse to be living at.
I am an albanian from Brooklyn acutally and just got the remote work situated so in few months moving to Colombia as well.
I would like to meet in person and pay you as consulting and learn as well what you do since extra income always helps with the bills.
If you could please share the buildings info or a website where to find somehting like this please.
Many thanks in advance brother. Looking forward to Colombia!
que barrio
I fell head over heels with Medellin too. It's in my plans to move to MDE as well. What neighborhood is this apartment in?
Bello
This is either the city of Bello or Copacabana, north of Medellín. Keep in mind that the upscale district of El Poblado is on the other side, to the south. A great zone is Laureles, a bit upscale too but less expensive
I made it here a week ago brother. I am trying to figure out the best way for me to make money now. We should link while I am here!
Build a CZcams business
@@FelixTheTraveler Working on it!
The view of the the sewer treatment plant, is not that great but the apartment looks good.
I am trying to move to Medellin in a month or two. What websites do they use to find apartments out there? What are the typical requirements or do they have any? Because I know in the US it doesn’t matter if you have the money you have to give them basically your whole life and even then you still may not get it. I know it’s supposed to be way easier in Meidillin can you tell me your neighborhood and the website you found this song
How long are you staying? If less then 6 months just use Airbnb.
There is a lot not covered here...There are fiadors/cosigners...also, where your friend lives is not for the average foreigner unless they are low key and know how to keep a low profile.
Yes, but where in Medellín???
How in GOD'S GREEN EARTH 🌎 he got that beautiful apartment for $506 ???? Wow great 👌 job bud
Two words: South America
@@FelixTheTraveler I'm binge watching 👀 all your videos 📹 now 😆. Keep up the great work
It's in Bello bro, rough area but he's straight since at least he's Colombian. Definitely not getting that in Poblado.
@aahsimovieprojects I appreciate the response..there's no way he got that deal in Poblado or Laureles..I'm sure he's paying for protection..good for him. I like to see people live their best life.
Where can I look for apartments online? What areas should I look in as a single mother with 2. Small kids?
What kind of healthcare system does Colombia have and how can/do expats use it ? Also how much are the utilities for Jeff's apartment ? or utilities in general ?
A diario llegan a Colombia miles de gringos asalariados que no pueden pagar sin endeudarse, tratamientos medicos y odontologicos en USA. La salud en Colombia es un plus. Accedes a un servicio basico de 60 dolares al mes o el de mas alto nivel en 110 dolares al mes aprox. Dependiendo el cambio de divisa del dia.
Hi, Colombia has a public health care system, but the best way to get good coverage is thru a private plan, for just under 200 USD a month. And utilities where this guy is living should be around 150
What part of Medellin is that place?
Thats what i want to know... guessing Sabaneta or somewhere outside for the price.
good rent - but I dont want to live low in the valley or on top of the sewage treatment plant.
What part of medellin do you prefer to live in?
@@FelixTheTravelerfor me clean air is very important and In my opinion the air lower in the valley is very polluted. For long term living I would recommend residing high in the valley away from major roads. Walk down to the action and Uber back up to your casa. tell me how you feel about the air quality ? any concerns ?? its easy to ignore these things when you are young. its easy to sell away your health but impossible to buy it back. you need clean air / water / food to thrive. Medellin has some work to do on the air quality issue. I think they will solve it in the coming years. the old busses / trucks / cabs and motos have to be Phased out. Did you know that 70 percent of Colombias power comes from natural renewable resources ?? mostly Hydro.
I agree. For me, having an outstanding view is important. I live on the 18th floor of a high rise near downtown Medellín, and the view is spectacular. I pay $478 a month. Me encanta Medellín ❤️
@@paulashwell1604 I agree with you 100%...Air is so polluted down in the center of the valley.
@@paulashwell1604if you need or want clean air, I wouldn’t recommend living in the valley.
I don’t know, either the cameraman is too tall or this guy is too little lol
The thing I noticed was the reinforced wire in picture window… not a good sign.
Is it to keep animals out ? Or people
I really want to just relocate with my daughter age 10. We’re currently in South Florida. The rent is unbearable How is the safety for women and children?
Depends where you are located
I've been in Medellin the last 2 weeks and its VERY HOT here. Hotter than summer in most US places. Mexico City and Honolulu weather is much cooler during the day and night. And Mexico is comparable in cost of living. "City of Eternal Spring" is not accurate. I'll also say that many waitresses and taquilla workers were rude and impatient to us. Haven't had that happen in Mexico. Cost of living is low thats about it in Medellin.
Never usually this HOT. No idea why the weather has been like this
El Niño my friend
Don't dare to compare Colombian culture with Mexican. Colombia has the most beautiful women, incomparable landscape with lushest and greenest mountains in the world; of course being *the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.*
*Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture. The friendliest people in the world, etc. Mexico is not known for that, since ½ is arid. In Colombia you can choose to live in a place, and it will have almost the same temperature all year round. The issue is that right now, even Bogota, whose average temperature has a 68ºF, is experiencing very hot weather. Something never seen before, and it is due to El Niño.

What area of medien he lives in for $506 A month
North part
Dude is living above a sewage treatment plant...
His voice sounds like 6ix9ine lol
JAJAJA
How do you find an apartment like this to rent? Can’t find something like that on Airbnb
You won’t find something that on AirBNB. I have a video dropping on Monday about how to find long term rentals without furniture
@@FelixTheTraveler with furniture, too? Please.
Just left Cartagena for the 2nd time. Just booked an Airbnb in March for a month and if I can navigate it for the month my plan is to move there in August 2024. Any tips on what I should do first in terms of preparation for moving. Learning Spanish is first on the list.
Love watching your videos but you really have to stop comparing Medellin real estate with Miami or NYC lol. This is the #1 mistake gringos make. You have to compare in that country.
Not trying to compare it in a general sense but more in a sense that you get a better bang for your buck here. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching.
He is trying to highlight the value of living in Medellin vs a comparable city in the USA.
exactly, and you can't compare because the business opportunities you'll have being on US soil can't compare to being in Medellin, i'm sorry but it's just not the same. Having a little online hustle is cool but as a young man with ambition you'd be sacrificing a lot living in Colombia when you have papers to be in the US. Medellin should be treated as a playground, go for a week have your fun, but then back to business in the US.
@@aahsimovieprojectsyou're young. You're building. Work remote, save money.
@@bowalker7114 not so young anymore. I lived in Medellin for years prepandemic working remote, and just recently came back to the US. The business opportunities I’ve had since returning to US soil are something I would’ve never had access to if I stayed in Colombia. All the big players across industries are on US soil, you’re not gonna meet them in Medellin and grow a large business from there.
What barrio is this
Nevermind I found it
Which one is it? Lets play a game here.
@@FelixTheTraveler I assume that since it was not mentioned in the video, that it's not meant to be shared though right? It's East of city of Belen.
You are not any expert just tell your story
Yes we are
Tell the truth homie! You're getting that price because you and your family Colombians. They charge others more if you're from the States or European. I know i live in Laureles and thats what happens in my building. Tell the true facts dude!
Not true bro. Are you on AirBNB? I found many apartments for that price.
@@FelixTheTraveler
No I'm not in a Airbnb.. I've lived here for over 3 years I know it to be true all of my female friends are Afro-latin so I know its that way for us Afros from the States.
@@terrycoleman5225 Well I don’t know them cause I found many similar apartments for the same price & I am not Colombian.
Do your own previous research before. "Gringo prices" are on the streets, not in real estate.
@@paxtecum4814 yeah right, you have no clue, I only deal with realtors so i know the game, and they do to.
At the ground level, seems to be a sewage treatment plant 😕
I think so but it's not like he is going down there to hang out. He is 30+ floors up in the sky.
