We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"To find a place to live in Oaxaca City, you can start by researching online on websites such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com for short-term rentals. For long-term rentals, you can check out local real estate websites like Vivanuncios, Inmuebles24, and Lamudi. Joining Facebook groups dedicated to housing and rentals in Oaxaca City, such as "Rentas Oaxaca" and "Casas y Departamentos en Renta Oaxaca," can also be helpful in finding available properties. Another option is to visit Oaxaca City and explore the neighborhoods in person. Walk around the areas you are interested in and look for "Se Renta" (For Rent) signs on properties. You can also visit local real estate agencies and speak with agents who can help you find a suitable place based on your preferences and budget. Additionally, networking with locals, expats, and other travelers can be beneficial in finding a place to live. They may have recommendations or know of available properties that are not listed online. Attending local events, visiting cafes, and participating in community gatherings can help you make connections and gather information about housing options in Oaxaca City," explained one expat living in Oaxaca City, Mexico.
