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

"Finding a place to live in Ixtapa, 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. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Ixtapa to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some people might prefer a quiet, residential area, while others might want to be closer to the beach or the city center. 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 or properties for sale in Ixtapa, such as Zillow, Airbnb, and Vrbo. You can also contact real estate agencies in Ixtapa. They can provide you with listings that match your criteria and arrange viewings. Some well-known agencies in the area include Remax and Century 21. Another option is to visit Ixtapa and look for "for rent" or "for sale" signs. This can be a good way to find properties that aren't listed online. Once you've found a place you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person and ask any questions you might have. If you decide to proceed with a rental or purchase, you'll need to negotiate the terms and sign a contract. It's recommended to hire a lawyer to help with this process, especially if you're not fluent in Spanish. Finally, once the contract is signed, you can move into your new home in Ixtapa. Remember to set up utilities and internet, and familiarize yourself with the local area," explained one expat living in Ixtapa, Mexico.
