here's what $1,000 a month in rent gets you around the world if you live in a
big city you know that the only thing funnier than housing pricing jokes is
the actual price that good housing goes for whether you're a first-time
homebuyer congratulations we think or just a
student figuring out how to cook boxed mac and cheese in their microwave of
their rented apartment the search can be arduous especially if you're trying to
live around the world however never fear your bestie is here today we're going to
compare what kind of apartment around $1,000 a month might get you around the
world but first why not go ahead and click Subscribe and while you're at it
the notification bell is lonely unless you clicked it too because if you're
looking for a roomie in any of these places who better to keep you company
than your bestie okay now that that's out of the way let's talk Turkey what
kind of apartment can you get around the world for a thousand big ones we
collected housing prices from some places across the globe to see what you
could rent for about a thousand American dollars a month some of it was
surprising and some of it was very much not seriously were you expecting
three-floor housing in the middle of Manhattan small towns can laugh city
folks can cry and everyone can agree that a balcony makes even the worst
space livable welcome to house hunters besties style living space number one
first we visit Brooklyn America and the living space is going to be one thousand
dollars the cost in local currency one thousand dollars in American dollars we
mean duh the one we looked at was a three hundred square foot studio
apartment yes you heard that right here is one of the pros of the apartment we
look there's really something to be said for
a minimalist living and now for one of the cons unfortunately that something is
it sucks living space number two next we go to Bali Indonesia where you'll find
this living space for about 1041 American dollars the cost and local
currency 165 million IDR per year which looks like a lot more so you can brag to
your friends about your 9 figure place to live the size of the apartment we
look at was a two-bedroom Villa now for one of the pros not only does your house
look like literal earthy paradise but you also have a private pool ending with
one of the cons trying not to sound like a total jerk when you tell your friends
you live in a villa living space number three off to Europe now where we look at
a place in La Voz parrot Paris adjacent France this baby will cost you about one
thousand one hundred and seventy four dollars per month the cost in local
currency one thousand euros per month the one we looked at was a split-level
one-bedroom apartment starting with one of the pros living in a tree house was
my literal childhood dream and getting to live in a split-level loft apartment
is pretty much as close as it gets as an adult here's one of the cons
sleepwalking that would be hard living space number 4 flying over to Prague
Czech Republic where you can get this place for nine hundred and ninety
dollars a month the cost in local currency twenty-two thousand CZK per
month the size we looked at was a studio apartment pros really really
outrageously pretty cons we don't even live here yet and it's beautiful
gleaming whiteness already mocks our pretensions
act cleanliness living space number five staying in Europe but going a little
north now let's travel to Stockholm Sweden where the price of living in a
place we looked at was a familiar nine hundred and ninety dollars a month the
cost in local currency was about eight thousand SEK per month which again seems
like a cool price however when you hear how big the place was it's going to look
a lot cooler the size of this living space two-bedroom house for $990 a month
let's look at the obvious pros hammock lovely wooded location beautiful cozy
indoors and hammock now for the cons anyway did we mention there's a hammock
living space number six let's leave those glorious Swedish dreams behind for
a second and move our keisters down to South Paulo Brazil where a place to live
would cost you about one thousand one hundred and thirteen dollars as for the
cost in local currency it was thirty five hundred brl per month once again
this one seems pretty reasonably priced for how big it was the size of the
living space a three bedroom apartment here is one of the best pros on the list
the apartment also has three bathrooms for when you really really really can't
wait and now for one of the cons honestly we feel a little bit pixelated
even looking at the apartments living space number seven we move from the
sunny paradise that is Brazil to the history rich deli India where a place to
live will run you about nine hundred and eighty two dollars just so you know the
cost in local currency will be about sixty three thousand INR per month for
this one we once again saw a glorious three-bedroom apartment here was one of
the best pros about this place there are three balconies
three balconies the Khans came in the form of the amenities however because
there's a room called the servant room we think we'd feel a bit weird staying
in a place that advertises having a servant room living space number eight
what's that well it's Big Ben chiming the guard at the Buckingham is changing
grab you bangers and mash and let's watch some football
yeah sorry as the voice implied now we're going to fly over to London
England where you'll find a place to live for nine hundred and forty eight
dollars the cost and local currency is seven hundred and thirty-seven pounds
per month you're going to hate the size broom closet we're kidding it's
technically a studio but not really we have to start with one of the pros so if
you're lazy and don't like having to move a single step to get to anything in
your apartment this is definitely the place for you however when we saw the
place our first reaction was what is this a room for ants living space number
nine from Europe we travel to a very popular Asian island yes
now we're in Tokyo Japan where you'll find a place for 975 dollars the cost
and local currency is 106 thousand yen per month once again we're going small
because the size of the place we looked at was a studio apartment pros nice
little baths cons look criticizing a Tokyo apartment for being small is like
criticizing flavorless yogurt for being bland living space number 10 staying in
Asia now we travel to Beijing China where you'd be spending nine hundred and
seventy five dollars for the pleasure of living there the cost and local currency
was six thousand five hundred C and Y per month as for the size we saw a
three-bedroom apartment for the price pros it comes fully furnished and
we genuinely enjoyed the cute pink aesthetic of the place cons the Mickey
Mouse memorabilia is always watching living space number 11 now we travel to
Dubai the United Arab Emirates where you'd pay nine hundred and seventy-six
dollars to stay the cost and local currency is forty-three thousand a IDI
per year and the size we looked at was a studio apartment pros we mean it's
technically a studio apartment but when you factor in the fact that the complex
has a swimming pool volleyball courts running trails and even a mosque we
think that kind of upgrades it cons you're within breathing distance of
possibly the richest people on earth so you're gonna feel poor living space
number twelve once again we return to North America
and look at a place in Morita Mexico where you'll pay eight hundred and forty
six dollars the cost and local currency fifteen thousand MXN per month here's
another big one folks the size of the place we looked at was a three-bedroom
house with a courtyard Rose a courtyard a pool and an open-concept design cons
not really much to be honest great food great weather its this are
Sweden for us so far living space number thirteen well our plane flies us back to
Europe to Florence Italy specifically where a person could pay nine hundred
and forty five dollars for a place the cost and local currency is 800 euro per
month the size isn't bad either we looked at a two-bedroom apartment for
that price pros it was beautifully furnished and we always wanted to live
inside IKEA catalog plus it's got washing machines or when you're fidgets
our rug gets names on it cons it's for students only
which means that unless you're that you're out of luck living space number
fourteen and finally the great nation of Canada specifically the Greater Toronto
Area Canada where you'll pay about nine hundred and fifty five dollars American
to live the cost in local currency is twelve hundred Canadian per month yeesh
but don't worry at least you get to live in a two-bedroom basement apartment pros
you live in Toronto all right cons you live in Toronto and so our trip around
the world concludes here what do you think of our list
