"A typical expat home or apartment in Montevideo, is often located in safe, upscale neighborhoods such as Pocitos, Punta Carretas, or Carrasco. These homes are usually modern and spacious, with a blend of contemporary and traditional Uruguayan architecture. They often feature large windows that let in plenty of natural light, and balconies or terraces that offer views of the city or the Rio de la Plata. The interiors are typically well-appointed, with modern kitchens equipped with up-to-date appliances. The living areas are often open-plan, with plenty of space for dining and entertaining. Bedrooms are usually large and comfortable, with ample storage space. Many homes also have home offices, reflecting the increasing trend of remote work among expats. In terms of amenities, many expat apartments in Montevideo come with access to a communal swimming pool, gym, and sometimes even a sauna or spa. Some buildings also offer 24-hour security services, which adds an extra layer of safety for residents. Despite being in the city, it's not uncommon for these homes to be close to green spaces, such as parks or even the beach, providing opportunities for outdoor activities. They are also usually within easy reach of supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and other conveniences, making daily life easier for expats. In terms of decor, many expats choose to incorporate elements of Uruguayan culture into their homes, such as local artwork or traditional textiles. However, the overall aesthetic tends to be quite international, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the expat community in Montevideo," commented one expat who made the move to Montevideo, Uruguay.
