What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Nicaragua?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Nicaragua is like. They answered...
"A typical expat home or apartment in Nicaragua is likely to have tiled floors throughout, as this is a common feature in Nicaraguan homes. The walls may also be painted in vibrant colors, as this is a popular decorating aesthetic in Nicaragua. Furniture usually consists of wood framed sofas and chairs, with bright and cheery fabric to embrace the local aesthetic. Many homes also have built-in wardrobes and cupboards in their bedrooms, which make it easy to store clothing, linens, and other personal items. Additionally, a typical expat home or apartment in Nicaragua typically has a generous amount of outdoor space in the form of terraces, balconies, gardens, or verandas. This extra space is often used for relaxation or entertainment, and makes for a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the fresh air of the tropical country," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nicaragua.
"A large old Colonial house, right on the main street in town, just across the street from the ocean. This house is one of only 2 in this town. Most of the expats live either on the hillside or just out of town," commented one expat who made the move to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
