For many digital nomads, Argentina has become a popular destination. It has the perfect mix of Latin American culture, and affordability that many digital nomads require.

In this post, we'll provide you with the accommodation information you need before you travel to the popular football-obsessed nation.

Affordable cities in Argentina for digital nomads

Here are some of the top cities digital nomads should consider:

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is Argentina’s beating heart — a city bursting with culture and cafes for every taste. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre for instance costs around $300–$450 per month. You can also find co-living spaces that include amenities like Wi-Fi and laundry services for even less.

Córdoba

If you’re drawn to history and colonial architecture, Córdoba is your guy, or in this case, your city. Despite being the second most populous city in Argentina, you can find shared apartments as low as $150 per month. Because it has a huge student population, you’ll also find many budget-friendly eateries and cafes.

Mendoza

Fans of wine and picturesque mountain views will love Mendoza. A comfortable one-bedroom apartment can be rented for $200–$350 per month. It has excellent mountain views and while we’re not suggesting that you have Zoom calls outdoors, we can confirm that the scenery will make one hell of a background.

Now what are the actual accommodation options?

Co-living spaces

Co-living spaces are a great way to save on rent while connecting with other digital nomads. In Buenos Aires, for instance, spaces like Casa Campus offer furnished apartments, high-speed internet, and shared facilities, with prices starting at $200 per month for shared rooms. These setups often include community events, making it easier to socialize and build connections.

Budget hostels and Airbnb

If you’re looking for flexibility, hostels and Airbnbs can be affordable, especially if you plan to move around. For example, in Mendoza, you can find hostel stays for $10–$15 per night, and many Airbnb options start at $200 per month.

Apartment rentals

For longer stays, renting an apartment can be the most economical choice. Sites like Zonaprop or Airbnb have listings across Argentina’s major cities, with options for furnished or unfurnished apartments. Rental prices vary by location, but a one-bedroom apartment outside the main city typically costs around $300 per month.

Tips for affordable living in Argentina

Living affordably in Argentina goes beyond finding budget housing. Here are some extra tips to make the most of your stay:

Make use of coworking spaces.

Coworking spaces in Argentina are both affordable and social. Many coworking spaces come with fast internet, a crucial element for remote work, and free coffee (many will say an equally important element for remote work).

Take advantage of local transportation

Argentina has a well-developed transportation system that’s incredibly budget-friendly. A Sube card gives you access to buses and trains across the country, and in cities like Buenos Aires, the metro is a lifesaver. A typical bus or subway ride costs less than $0.25.

Shop like a local

For affordable groceries, head to local markets instead of chain supermarkets. You’ll find fresh produce and local goods at lower prices. Pro-tip: San Telmo Market in Buenos Aires is a great choice for fresh produce and even has budget-friendly food stalls for a quick meal. Your Grey card will come in handy here.

Argentina’s blend of culture, affordability, and community makes it one of the best choices for digital nomads seeking a rich experience on a budget. If you love football, you’ll also find many mini-pitches to play on.

Now before you hop on that flight, create a free Grey account so you don’t get stuck when it’s time to pay for that apartment.
