How do I find a place to live in Caracas?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"When looking for a place here, you must go through an agent, who you the renter will have to pay one month's rent as commission. The trick is to use several agents because depending on your budget, they forget about you. We chose a neighborhood that was first safe and then close to everything since I don't drive. We chose an apartment for security reasons (most buildings have 24 hour security) and it has less upkeep," explained one expat living in Caracas, Venezuela.

"To find a place to live in Caracas, you can start by researching online on local real estate websites, such as TuInmueble, ConLaLlave, and OLX Venezuela. These websites often have listings for apartments, houses, and shared accommodations. You can also join Facebook groups and online forums dedicated to expats and locals living in Caracas, where people often share rental opportunities and advice on finding a place to live. Another option is to visit local real estate agencies in Caracas, where agents can help you find a suitable place based on your preferences and budget. They can also guide you through the rental process and provide valuable insights into the local housing market. Additionally, you can explore neighborhoods in Caracas to find "For Rent" or "Se Alquila" signs posted on properties. This can be a good way to find rental options that may not be listed online. While exploring, talk to locals and ask for recommendations on safe and convenient areas to live in. Finally, consider networking with friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who live in Caracas, as they may know of available rental properties or can connect you with someone who does. Word of mouth can be a valuable resource when searching for a place to live in a new city," said another expat in Caracas, Venezuela.
