How do I find a place to live in Cuenca?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Through the internet we found a person whom totally misrepresented the rental market, however not knowing we were taken advantage of," remarked another expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador.
"We made an exploratory trip months before we decided to come and live in Cuenca, Ecuador. We did not really choose the neighborhood we just found the apartment absolutely fell in love with it and the price was just right and the view and everything. It seemed like a good neighborhood as well and we bought it within two weeks of being in this country. To date 18 months later we are still very very happy with our purchase. We have since found it is a great neighborhood close to all amenities but far enough from the centre of the city," explained one expat living in Cuenca, Ecuador.
