How do I find a place to live in Trinidad & Tobago?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We do not have children going to the international school, so that opened our options where to live. We chose Moka, Maraval by the golf course. It's green and mountainouse. It's a 10 minute drive to the city or a 15 minute drive to the Carribean, Maracus Beach. The houses are newer and larger. You get more for your money. **Fresh Fruit / Vegetable stands on corners. You won't find that in West Morings," remarked another expat in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Trinidad & Tobago is to use online resources such as real estate websites, classifieds, and social media groups. You can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable property. Additionally, you can look for rental postings in local newspapers and magazines. It is also a good idea to ask friends and family for recommendations. Finally, you can visit the area in person to get a better feel for the area and to find potential properties," said a member in Trinidad & Tobago.
