How do I find a place to live in Merida?

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

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Merida is to search online on websites like Airbnb or Craigslist. Additionally, you can reach out to local real estate agents who specialize in housing in the Merida area to help you find the right place. Another option is to use online expat forums such as Expat-Merida.com, which can be helpful in connecting you with other expats who have experience living in the area, who may even be able to provide tips and advice on finding suitable housing. Finally, you can try personally asking around within the local community to see if there are any housing opportunities available," remarked another expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.

"After studyinng the market here for 2 1/2 years and debating renting or buying, we learned a lot about neighborhoods. And we learned the best way to figure out where you want to be is to come down and go airbnb for a while in different neighborhoods to figure out what you want. For those of us on a budget, Norte and Santiago are much too expensive and the father you go from Centro prices fall dramatically. We just bought a house and it was only after looking at very many and being ready to pounce on one that was significantly reduced in price and in excellent condition. Those go very quickly. Even renting, remember if you don't like the neighborhood, you're stuck for a year usually," explained one expat living in Merida, Mexico.
