Rentals in Medellin
I have been looking at apartment rentals in Medellin and I see they are somewhat high. I live in Costa Rica and they are a lot cheaper. All of my looking has been on the internet so I see a lot of the tourist prices. I was told by a real estate company in Medellin that as of Enero apartments will only be able to be rented by the month or more. Sounds like the hotels did some lobbying. If that is true I'm sure prices will come down. Any ideas of how or where I should or could search for decent apartments with decent prices would be appreciated.What are the safe areas that are also the cheapest? Thanks

Re: Rentals in Medellin
I have been living in Medellin for 3 months now and am in the process of starting a Colombia real estate company. I can tell you that there are many affordable apartments for rent in Medellin. I found a 2 bedroom apartment (about 800 sqft) in a beautiful little Polado enclave for 950,000 COP (about $500). If you rely on information from Gringo real estate companies, you will not get a realistic picture on real costs in Medellin.
I recently wrote a blog article on Medellin real estate prices that you might find interesting. While I didn´t include rental rates, I am working on a rental post as we speak. Stay tuned.

Re: Rentals in Medellin
My husband and I are moving to Medellin late January and need an affordable 1 bedroom furnished apartment in a nice part of town (convenient to things) that will allow a dog. She is about 12 kilos and is 6 years old. We would prefer a low-rise apartment, not a high-rise, if possible.
We would like to rent starting February 1.
We would like to connect with people in the rental apt business to start looking at places online in the $500/month range...since I hear that price is possible if you avoid American Real Estate companies.
Any help is most appreciated!
