How do I find a place to live in La Paz?

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

"To find a place to live in La Paz, you can start by researching online on websites such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and local real estate websites like Baja Sur MLS and La Paz Bay Rentals. These websites offer various options, including apartments, houses, and vacation rentals. You can filter your search based on your preferences, such as location, budget, and amenities. Another option is to join local Facebook groups or online forums dedicated to expats and locals living in La Paz. These groups often have members who share rental listings and can provide valuable advice on the best neighborhoods and rental agencies to work with. Once you have shortlisted a few potential places, it's a good idea to visit La Paz and explore the neighborhoods in person. This will give you a better understanding of the local culture, amenities, and safety of each area. You can also visit local real estate agencies and ask for their assistance in finding a suitable place to live. When you find a place you like, make sure to carefully review the rental agreement and clarify any questions or concerns with the landlord or rental agency. It's also a good idea to ask for references from previous tenants to ensure that the landlord is reliable and trustworthy. Finally, before moving in, make sure to inspect the property thoroughly and document any existing damages or issues to avoid any disputes with the landlord later on," remarked one foreigner who made the move to La Paz.
