How do I find a place to live in Honduras?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Searched for a great value in a direct beachfront home. Found "La Ceiba Beach Club" to have the best values anywhere in Central America and The Caribbean," explained one expat living in La Ceiba, Honduras.
"One way to find a place to live in Honduras is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Encuentra24.com, Vivanuncios.com, and Encuentra24.hn offer a variety of rental listings in Honduras. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Honduras. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Honduras for recommendations," said one person in Honduras.
