How do I find a place to live in Falmouth?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"If you are looking for a place to live in Falmouth, there are many options available to suit your needs. You can find a variety of rental homes and apartments throughout the town, many of which have tropical views and access to the beach. Many of these rentals come fully furnished and offer amenities such as swimming pools and hot tubs. In addition, Falmouth has a number of popular resorts that provide rental units for visitors. Vacation rentals are also available in select areas, often in private homes or cabins. Whether you’re looking for a long-term stay or a short term trip, Falmouth has a great variety of lodging options to choose from," said one expat who made the move to Falmouth, Jamaica.

"We wanted to be close to the Montego Bay airport so we looked at a few parishes on the west half of the island. Falmouth is up and coming so we selected Falmouth. My husband and I are real estate agents in the US, so we just felt comfortable contacting a real estate agent to find our current house," explained one foreigner living in Falmouth, Jamaica.

"I chose my community by asking friends and family for references. I wanted to reside near the airport but not in a commercial zone. I chose Retreat Heights which is located outside of the town of Falmouth but close enough to hotels, airport and entertainment," said one in Falmouth.
