How do I find a place to live in Venezuela?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"One way to find a place to live in Venezuela is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Encuentra24.com and Lamudi.com.ve are popular sites for finding rental properties in Venezuela. Additionally, you can also search for rental listings on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, you can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live. Finally, you can also ask around in your local community for recommendations on rental properties," remarked another expat who made the move to Venezuela.
"When looking for a place here, you must go through an agent, who you the renter will have to pay one month's rent as commission. The trick is to use several agents because depending on your budget, they forget about you. We chose a neighborhood that was first safe and then close to everything since I don't drive. We chose an apartment for security reasons (most buildings have 24 hour security) and it has less upkeep," explained one expat living in Caracas, Venezuela.
