I'm looking to move to Buenos Aires next year around June 25-September 25.

What are the bare essentials?

Chicos alguno que tenga información para darle a King?
Yo no tengo idea de valores de costo de vida en Baires.

King: wait for someone living at BA to answer your questions. Sadly I can't help since I'm living rather far from my country now.

Hello,
I don't know a lot about the cost of living in BA but I have my personal experience for a middle class living. Coming from abroad you may have more wealth and could go a little higger, anyway, I think my experience may be good as a sample of how to live well with minimun expences

I'm renting a 48m2 department for 1000 pesos every month, I have low mantaeinance in the building becaus it has no elevator and no other fascilities. It is located in Almagro, which is a god location, is close to the subway and many bus lines.
So I calculate you can live very confortable for just 3000 pesos every month. If you have more then you can think about rising your level and going for a bigger department or to a more exclusive zone like Palermo o Recoleta (I don't know how much this can cost but I'm sure that someone here will tell you).
I hope you find this information useful.

Thank you! And I was thinking, while writing, "my god, this is a mess, there must be millons of mistakes" jajajaja.
Now I have to work a little bit to improve my spanish (or move to another country jajaj)

King, If you're planning a short term stay, let's say 2/3 months, you better go for a temporary furbished apartment rent, It will cost you about 700/1500 dollars a month depending on the size/location. Check this page for info.
