How do I find a place to live in Atenas?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Atenas involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and what type of accommodation you are looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Atenas to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to amenities like shops and restaurants, while others may offer more peace and quiet. Once you have a good idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals and properties for sale in Atenas, such as Encuentra24, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. These platforms allow you to filter results based on your criteria, such as price range, number of bedrooms, and location. In addition to online listings, you may also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insight into the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the process of renting or buying a property in Costa Rica. When you find a property that you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you may have. If you're not in Costa Rica, you might be able to arrange a virtual viewing. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to secure it. This usually involves signing a lease or purchase agreement and paying a deposit or down payment. Make sure to read any contracts carefully and seek legal advice if necessary. Remember, finding a place to live in a new country can take time and patience, so don't rush the process. Take the time to find a place that feels like home," said one person in Atenas.
