What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Guayaquil?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Guayaquil is like. They answered...
"I live in an apartment within an 8 unit building (tower) within a gated community of about 20 towers. Ideal mix of privacy and neighborly acquaintances. I don't know what the house/apt mix is, but I would imagine expat families with kids go for houses (in Sanborondon, Los Ceibos, or Via la Costa) and expat singles and couples go for apts. The houses in Sanborondon are usually huge, expensive, and not many to rent," explained one expat living in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
