"I lived in Roldanillo in the north of the Valle del Cauca for a year in a secure conjunto. The house was less than 5 years old, with 2 stories, 2 bedrooms, a study, and a bathroom upstairs; Kitchen, dining/living room, half-bath, and laundry area, downstairs. In front was a parking space, partly covered, for one car. The conjunto has 24/7 security, a swimming pool, hot tub, and playground, and is located just outside of the edge of town, about a kilometer from the city center. So, the cost was 500,000 per month, including the administration fee. At today's exchange rate of 4562.8 pesos per dollar, the cost is US$109.58. And, Roldanillo is a very nice little town of around 35,000 and had been mentioned in the news some years back as being one of the safest towns in Colombia. If I decide to return to and live in Colombia the only place I would live is in Rolda (I lived in eight different towns/cities in 9+ years in Colombia)," remarked another expat who made the move to Colombia.
