They should also consider their budget and the type of property they are looking for. It is also important to consult with a real estate agent who is familiar with the area and can provide advice on the best neighborhoods and properties.
How do I find a place to live in Tijuana?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"When we still lived in PV, my Mexican husband contacted a real estate place that handled rentals. He flew there to see it and we moved there. Two years later we found a bigger/better place, closer to the border, on the recommendation from a buddy at his work," said one person in Tijuana.
"One way to find a place to live in Tijuana is to visit the local real estate agencies. These agencies can provide you with listings of available properties and can help you find the right place for you in Tijuana. Additionally, you can also search online for apartment rentals or listings of available homes in the Tijuana area. You can also network with family, friends, or colleagues, as they may be familiar with the area and can provide on-the-ground advice to help you find the right home," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Tijuana.
