"Most expats live in apartments because of security and some will go for furnished homes. If looking for something furnished, it is much easier to find a one or two bedroom. Anything bigger is rare," wrote a member who made the move to Caracas, Venezuela.

"A typical expat home or apartment in Caracas, is likely to be located in a safer and more affluent neighborhood, such as Altamira, Los Palos Grandes, or La Castellana. These homes or apartments are often situated in gated communities or high-rise buildings with 24-hour security to ensure the safety of the residents. The apartments are usually spacious, with multiple bedrooms, modern amenities, and well-equipped kitchens. They may also feature air conditioning, reliable internet access, and backup power generators due to frequent power outages in the city. Additionally, expat homes often have access to shared facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, and social areas. Despite the overall economic situation in Venezuela, these homes tend to be well-maintained and offer a comfortable living environment for expats," explained one expat living in Caracas, Venezuela.
