We are considering a move to Arequipa in about a year after retiring. My wife is from Lima and her family lives there, but we like Arequipa better and believe housing may be less expensive. I haven't been able to find much on the internet. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to buy a reasonably priced property (say <~$175,000) 3+bed, 1.5+ bath, and at least a small yard for a dog? Or similar rentals that would accept a dog and 2 cats? Other information on cost of living would be appreciated too.
