Long stays in Medellín vs. Miami — an honest comparison

NOK Editorial · March 18, 2026 · 8 min read

We run residences in both cities. Here's what a month actually costs, and what you get for it.

Both cities attract the same traveler — the digital nomad, the executive on relocation, the family in transit. But the experience of a month in El Poblado is not the same as a month in Brickell, and the pricing gap is wider than most people assume.

The baseline
A 1-bedroom NOK residence, long-stay (30+ nights):

- **Medellín, El Poblado**: from US$1,900/mo
- **Miami, Brickell**: from US$4,200/mo

What's actually included
In both cases: fully furnished, gigabit WiFi, workspace, 24/7 support, weekly housekeeping.

What's different
Medellín gives you more space, a cheaper lifestyle and serious nature within 90 minutes. Miami gives you proximity to Latin American business, walkable Brickell, and a tax advantage many of our guests are specifically chasing.
