Your Medellín Apartment Awaits

Centro and Sabaneta offer the most affordable rentals, from $200–$400/mo for a furnished studio. Envigado and El Estadio are also excellent budget options at $250–$600/mo while remaining safe and well-served by the Metro.

A furnished one-bedroom in El Poblado typically runs $700–$1,200/mo. Luxury units with pools, gyms, and city views range from $1,500–$2,500/mo. Unfurnished long-term leases start around $400–$600/mo.

It depends on your lifestyle. El Poblado has more English-speaking services and nightlife. Laureles is quieter, cheaper, and increasingly popular with digital nomads and long-term expats who want a more authentic experience. Time Out named Laureles one of the world's coolest neighborhoods in 2022.

Use Airbnb for your first month to get settled, then look on local platforms like Fincaraíz.com.co or MetroCuadrado.com, or join the Medellín Expats Facebook group where furnished apartments are posted daily.

Most apartments marketed to expats and short-term renters come fully furnished including wifi. Long-term local leases (12+ months) are usually unfurnished. For 3–6 month stays, furnished is standard and easiest.
