How do I find a place to live in Ecuador?

Answer this Question

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

"The best way to find a place to live in Ecuador is to visit the country in person. This will allow you to explore different neighborhoods and areas and get a better understanding of the local culture and environment. You can also look into renting an apartment or house from a reliable source. There are numerous real estate agencies and websites that list rental properties in Ecuador, so you should have no trouble finding a place that suits your needs. Additionally, many expats join local Facebook groups and other social media sites to network and search for housing opportunities. Lastly, you could consider connecting with an established property management company that specializes in providing international real estate services," remarked another expat who made the move to Ecuador.

"We came to Ecuador 4 times and fell in love with Salinas. We had a realtor help us find our new condo," explained one expat living in Salinas, Ecuador.
