How do I find a place to live in Tulum?

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

"Finding a place to live in Tulum, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large villa, depending on your needs and financial capabilities. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Tulum to find one that suits your lifestyle. Some areas might be closer to the beach, while others are closer to the town center. You should also consider factors like safety, proximity to amenities, and the general vibe of the neighborhood. 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 rentals in Tulum, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and local real estate websites. These platforms allow you to filter results based on your preferences, and you can often read reviews from previous tenants. In addition to online searches, you might also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insights into the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the process of signing a lease. Visiting Tulum before you move is also a good idea. This allows you to view potential homes in person and get a feel for the different neighborhoods. If this isn't possible, try to arrange a virtual tour of the property. Finally, once you've found a place you like, make sure to read the lease agreement carefully before signing. It's important to understand the terms and conditions, including the rent, deposit, length of the lease, and what's included in the rent. If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to ask for clarification," said one expat who made the move to Tulum.
