Most prices here are wrong, if you want to know real prices just type something like "milk buy yerevan" in google and you will see multiple supermarket websites where you can check actual prices. Keep in mind that brands exist, so you can get a perfectly good local milk for $1.2 and be happy or buy a $2 milk with a cool glass bottle. Same with every other type of product. According to this website Yerevan is more expensive than Warsaw or Moscow, which is an absolutely crazy thing to say.

Armenia is heaven on earth, I recently spent a month there, restaurants are amazingly cheap, and to top it off, everything is organic and smells delicious, even greens, tomatoes cucumbers, ahh I miss it so much, I am planning to move there and experience over 3000 years of nature, history and beauty, lush mountains and forests, monasteries and old villages, let me also remind all who might be interested that the people are the nicest from anywhere around the globe and if you are walking around the city with the rest of the tourists and locals in the wee hours of the night, you will be safe, trust me, locals are always ready to help a tourist out without any expectations.

IM from Wales. I have been living in Yerevan for 8 months now. Great place to live. All food is organic , great weather and people. I'm planning to bring my family to live here from UK. Honestly eight months ago i would never think to settle in this small eastern european country but being here for only 8 months changed my perceptions about this great country. I have no interest to advocate Armenia as I'm British.

We lived in Yerevan, Arabkir district, and our tap water was being cut off regularly every two weeks for a day or two. Sometimes even more often.
Just imagine - it's summer, +35 degrees Celsius outside, and there's no water to shower or to cook. We had to go to a gym in another district that had water just to take a shower.

Another example, I work remotely, so I need electricity and Internet. There were days when we got electricity cutoffs for the whole day (thus, no Internet), and I was forced to find a place (a cafe or coworking space) to just work.

As it was mentioned previously here in the comments it is dead true that electricity and tap water supply is systematically interrupted and cutoffs happens regularly on a weekly basis. If in doubt you may check the official statements in regard of the power and water outages on "Veolia" - the water company and "Electric Networks of Armenia" websites followed by the links below.

Armenia became truly a village, not even a country of the third but the forth world. It may be a shame, I can understand that but this is simply not a country but a joke. The locals, here in the comments or elsewhere in social networks, will tell you anything but the truth they obviosely cannot or unwilling to accept it. However I believe the one must have guts to accept the bitter truth.

I'm from Yerevan no utilities are ever off so stop lieing.

Also, not mentioning constant water, electricity, gas cut offs that happen almost every week. And that’s in a country’s capital!

Yerevan is unjustifiably expensive! The basic costs for a single person (without rent) are around $800-900. Groceries are expensive, restaurants are expensive (on average 10,000 AMD per breakfast for two people), any activity you want to do (gym, yoga, swimming pool, etc.) is expensive. And I'm not even going to mention the rent, which is just too overpriced and with crappy furniture.
I honestly can't wrap my head around the prices here, not sure how locals are surviving!
Ali on Sep 07, 2023:
Yerevan is very much more expensive than 12 months ago. Not sure how the locals survive.

Currently I spend with my wife around 250k amd for living + 230k amd rent for 2 bedroom apps. And this is basic living with a little of fun at the weekend (like pizza with friends and some beer). Clothes, any tech stuff etc - it's all out of that "basic" I mentioned
y0bam on Feb 16, 2023:
these figures on rent don't seem to be accurate from what i have seen when i search online so i am assuming most of this is inaccurate. i like that internet seems about a third cheaper in Armenia than the United States though. I am seeing $150-$300 places to stay that would compare to the poorly priced houses around detroit greater area despite being surrounded by forsaken space

Crazy country to live in if you are working here
Your salary even wouldn't be sufficient to pay the rent of a normal studio
Stay away from Yerevan if you think you can work and live like a local it's a trap when you see the lower prices, the the minimum wage of 150$ A MONTH!

It's not the freezer. It just has the pronounced winter. And also, cold there feels not that cold because of low humidity and slow wind.

Who would want to live in a freezer like Armenia? Hookers are dirt cheap though an added bonus.
