What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

RENT FIRST before you buy. Rent for several months in several areas before you buy.

What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?

We currently live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo on the 17th floor at the beach

How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?

The first condo we found in Nueva Gorgona was through VRBO. We didn't know a lot about the area here, but we rented so if we decided it wasn't for us, we could always move to another area. After that, it's been by word of mouth that we have found places to live.
