Nice website for apartment searching

5 years ago

As I've mentioned in a previous post, my husband and I are moving to Manizales next month. We'll be staying with my MIL until we can find an apartment. In anticipation of that search we've been poking around online at places like fincaraiz.com, mainly to get a sense of rent pricing in various neighborhoods.

Anyway, a couple of months ago we found a site called ciencuadras.com, and it's very nice. For many of the listings they offer a 360 degree view of each room. But the thing I like best is that for each listing they provide an estimate of all of the monthly costs to rent that particular property ... rent, administration, utilities, telephone and internet ... Of course it's not a guarantee that the estimate will be exactly what you might spend, but it's nice to have a basic idea to work from.

I wanted to point that out because I see a lot of posters here who, like me, are wondering what they can expect to spend on living costs. And cinecuadras is helpful in that regard. Plus the 360 views are kind of cool. You get a better sense if the way the rooms are laid out.

Oh, and you can search by specific neighborhoods.
