Short Term Apartment in BBAA by bnuetzel
Hey! I have an internship in Buenos Aires from May to the end of July and am looking for apartments from the US. Anyone have advice on websites etc? My boyfriend and I need a bed we can both sleep in - but that is really our only requirement. ...
Glad it worked out for you! It is lovely when you come to a foreign country and don't have difficulties finding housing. I have two comments about Criagslist in general for those who are reading this and looking for apartments from afar: 1) When ... Read More
Retiring in Buenos Aires, Argentina by coldwell
I live in Ft. Lauderdale,Fl, USA. I am a USA & Argentinian citizen. Born in Argentina. I want to retire in Argentina, and I would like to know which is the best health insurance there. It has to be a company that accepts members older than 60 years ...
Sorry! I don't know their age restrictions with insurance, but I would be surprised if they had any. Regarding rent vs. buy, I agree that prices are probably going to come down. Whether to buy or rent is really up to you. This is a country ... Read More
What's up in June? by Julien
/img/teasing/en.gif
I would say "ditto" to most of the comments here about ease of use and the new improved layout. Until I can access the whole site, I won't be able to relay any "doh" moments in terms of not being able to find something! Read More

I wrote a two part post on renting apartments in BA. This is oriented toward renting an apartment from an agency with a western standard of living. You can probably find better deals from local agents, but you have to weed through a lot of chaff ... Read More

The top two insurance companies are OSDE (accepted all over Argentina, so handy if you will spend a lot of time out of BA) and Swiss Medical. Read More
affordable rent? by midcourt
My wife and I keep reading about how affordable Argentina is for retirees. We keep finding these very high rents (higher than where we live in USA). Is there anywhere you can find rent in the 500 or so area? Where would you suggest in renting a ...
The "affordable" days in Argentina, at least in Buenos Aires, are no longer. From about 2001 to 2006, there were deals galore, but everything has tightened up. To rent a fairly nice place in Buenos Aires, we are paying much more than what we paid ... Read More
Cell phones in BA by fiorellabecker
Hello! I just arrived in BA and I need a cell phone as quickly as possible... any suggestions? what should I be expected to pay for a "pay as you go" plan? What is normal? Also, is it possible to unlock my blackberry from home and use it here for ...
Don't know if a US Blackberry works here, even if you hack it. What most people suggest is that you buy a "gray market" phone from one of the Asian electronic shops. They are usually hacked and made to be open to the three telephone companies. ... Read More
should I bring my car to Argentina? by mateevici
We intend to retire in Argentina and take some of our belongings with us. Has any one imported their used car into Argentina? If so, how was the experience? Is it worth the money and effort? I would very much appreciate any advise! Gracias!!
From what I hear, it's not worth the money...you'd be better off just buying a car in Argentina. Before you put all of your retirement eggs in the Argentine basket, make sure you are prepared for the true cost of living wherever you are ... Read More
Racism in Argentina? by Indiboy
Hi I am from (India) going to study in Bueno Aires for the nex3 years . Now have got a little afraid cos i heard stories about argentina and specially Bueno Aires to be very racist against dark skinned people. I talked to an other Indian buissnes ...
Being a very anglo Irish-American, I can't really comment on racism in Baires from a first-hand perspective!! I will say though that Baires lacks the sort of diversity that you might expect in a large South American city, so particularly ... Read More
Cost of living in Argentina by 暗网禁区.com
Hi everybody, It would be very useful to talk about the cost of living in Argentina. Don't forget to mention where in Argentina you are living. How much does it cost to live in Argentina? > accommodation prices > public transportation fares ...
I would add some general comments: 1) Food here is cheaper than the US by about 1/2 to a 1/3. 2) If you are going to do a furnished apartment rental, it costs about the same as it would in the US (with the exception of cities like NY or San ... Read More
Question about house hunting online by DaphneReed
I'm hoping to 暗网禁区 to Brazil. I've searched many websites for houses. A few of those sites which are also realty agencies have contacted me. I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck with these organizations and if they can tell me about the ...
We just moved to Argentina with our family a couple of months ago and faced the apartment/house from afar dilemma. I just wanted to pass on the advice that I wouldn't lock yourself into anything too long-term before moving to the country. We ... Read More
