How do I find a place to live in Puerto Vallarta?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Versalles, Aralias & Fluvial just to name a few. Rentals are found easy with boots on ground. You need to view in person and no deposits until you arrive. Otherwise, most likely, you will have a problem with your deposit and may never see it. In Zona Romantica (my opinion is that it’s for visitors/tourist) you will have fireworks almost every night, many tourist, road blocks for celebrations/water repairs, spring/winter breaks, flooding during the rainy season, and parties non-stop," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
