Merida, Mexico
How do I find a place to live in Merida?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We wanted to be in the city, near the center. And we wanted a home that was old and renovated. We found lots of homes to choose from," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Merida, Mexico.
"After studyinng the market here for 2 1/2 years and debating renting or buying, we learned a lot about neighborhoods. And we learned the best way to figure out where you want to be is to come down and go airbnb for a while in different neighborhoods to figure out what you want. For those of us on a budget, Norte and Santiago are much too expensive and the father you go from Centro prices fall dramatically. We just bought a house and it was only after looking at very many and being ready to pounce on one that was significantly reduced in price and in excellent condition. Those go very quickly. Even renting, remember if you don't like the neighborhood, you're stuck for a year usually," commented one expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
