What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Medellin?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Medellin is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Medellin are typically modern and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and airy spaces. Many of the apartments come with balconies or terraces, offering stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains. The apartments are usually equipped with all the necessary amenities, such as air conditioning, high-speed internet, and modern appliances. The neighborhoods are usually safe and secure, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Medellin, Colombia.
"Look for US designed and constructed condos - real estate values here are appreciating rapidily (similar to Panama 10-15 years ago) and dollar is falling so NOW is a good time to invest here (do not waste money on rent) US style housing is NOT common here - typical housing is more european (my 1st apartment) with smaller box rooms and closed in feeling, miss the US kitchen and bath design including appliances in typical housing here (my new condo is US design and is good), much construction here is NOT equal to US standards (no inspection process) and could require much money for repairs," commented one expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
