How do I find a place to live in Macau?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Macau can be a daunting task. The best way to start is by researching online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in Macau. Additionally, you can also look for classified ads in local newspapers and magazines. It is also a good idea to contact real estate agents in the area to get more information about available properties. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Macau for advice and recommendations," remarked one member in Macau.
