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 were informed by an estate agent the areas where expats tend to live, the areas being West Moorings, Goodwood Park and Fairways Maraval. The Estate agents are very good although you will find that all agents know each other and tend to have the same properties on their listings," remarked another expat in West Moorings, Trinidad & Tobago.
"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," said a member in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
