How do I find a place to live in Trinidad & Tobago?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We do not have children going to the international school, so that opened our options where to live. We chose Moka, Maraval by the golf course. It's green and mountainouse. It's a 10 minute drive to the city or a 15 minute drive to the Carribean, Maracus Beach. The houses are newer and larger. You get more for your money. **Fresh Fruit / Vegetable stands on corners. You won't find that in West Morings," explained one expat living in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
