Answer
There are various price benchmarks for a two-bedroom apartment in Montevideo: $1,000–$1,500 per month including utilities in suburban areas, and about $2,500 for a more expensive option.
This range is not contradictory: the price depends on the neighborhood, size, furnishings, condition, parking, view, security, and which expenses are included. Two apartments with the same number of bedrooms can result in entirely different total budgets.
It is important for a family to consider not only rent, but also school, transport, heating, and room sizes. The second bedroom may be suitable for a child or an office, but uncomfortable for an adult, so the layout should be assessed separately from the price, neighborhood, and listing photos before making a decision.
