How do I find a place to live in Nicaragua?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"I would stay in different parts of the town each time I came to get a feel for the different sights, sounds etc," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
"One way to find a place to live in Nicaragua is by researching online. There are several websites dedicated to helping people find accommodation in Nicaragua, such as Encuentra24, Encuentra Viviendas and CercaCasa. These websites allow you to search for properties in different cities and regions in Nicaragua. Additionally, you can use websites like Airbnb where you can find apartments, houses, and villas for rent in Nicaragua. If you prefer to look for an accommodation in person, the best way to do so is to ask around in the city or towns you are interested in; many people rent or let out rooms or apartments through word-of-mouth. Facebook groups can also be a great way to find a place to live; many Nicaraguans join such groups in order to list properties for sale or rent," commented one expat who made the move to Nicaragua.
