Many people decide to move abroad for study, work or simply a change of scenery. But with the idea of settling in another country, a series of factors also appear on the map that must be taken into account, such as, for example, which is the best area to rent and how much it costs. The site Goplaceit.com has created a guide with the most important cities in the region and the most popular neighbourhoods for foreigners, whether for reasons of security, proximity to transport connections, study and business centres, or places of entertainment. Buenos Aires: it is the most sought-after city and also the most expensive.
Among the most popular neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, Palermo stands out, with an average rent for a furnished apartment of 30 m2 of US$ 637.2 or US$ 1205.1 for a 65 square meter apartment with three bedrooms.
