How do I find a place to live in Argentina?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Argentina is to use online resources such as websites and classifieds. Websites such as ZonaProp, Alquileres, and Mercado Libre are popular resources for finding rental properties in Argentina. Additionally, classifieds such as El Clarin and La Nacion are great sources for finding apartments and houses for rent. It is also possible to find a place to live by asking around in the local community or by contacting a real estate agent," explained one expat living in Argentina.
