We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Scarborough involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and make your search more efficient. Next, you should decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could be a house, an apartment, a condo, or even a room in a shared house. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties in Scarborough, such as PropertyFinder.tt, Terra Caribbean, and Pin.tt. You can also contact real estate agents in Scarborough. They can provide you with listings that match your criteria and arrange viewings for you. Some reputable real estate agencies in the area include KeyPhoria Realty, Just For You Property Consultants, and Tucker Real Estate. When you find a property you're interested in, make sure to inspect it thoroughly. Check for any signs of damage or disrepair, and ask about any additional costs such as utility bills or maintenance fees. If you're satisfied with the property, you can then proceed to negotiate the terms of the lease with the landlord or the real estate agent. Make sure to read the lease agreement carefully before signing it. Finally, once the lease is signed, you can arrange for the move-in. You might need to hire a moving company, or you could do it yourself if you don't have many belongings. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's important to be patient and not rush the process," remarked one member in Scarborough.
