"The cost of living in Piriapolis is considered moderate. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite affordable, while outside the city center, it can be even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also relatively low.

Eating out at restaurants can vary, with inexpensive meals available at local eateries and more expensive options at high-end restaurants. Public transportation in Piriapolis is also affordable, with regular bus services running throughout the city. However, owning a car can be quite expensive due to high import taxes on vehicles. Healthcare in Piriapolis is of a good standard and is relatively affordable, especially when compared to countries such as the United States.
