What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Monterrey?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Monterrey is like. They answered...
"Most expat homes in Monterrey are single-family houses or townhouses with ample living space and numerous bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. These homes typically have spacious balconies, gardens and/or terraces, with some properties boasting swimming pools and outdoor entertaining areas. Inside, the homes are normally modern and tastefully furnished, built to the highest standards and often featuring plenty of natural light. The kitchens and bathrooms are usually fully-equipped with white goods and modern fixtures and fittings. Many apartments in the city also offer similar levels of comfort, with contemporary spaces and gorgeous, sweeping views of the city skyline," remarked another expat in Monterrey, Mexico.
"We live in a 3 bedroom house on a new development. The style of the house is pretty typical - modern, reasonably spacious but with a small back yard - as is the street - a gated community with green areas and a communal pool. However, we don't live in a 'typical' ex-pat area. Most foreigners choose to live in San Pedro Garza Garcia, the most expensive neighbourhood in the whole country. There is a large American community here, not least because many ex-pats have their housing paid for by the company they transferred here with. San Pedro was not really an option for us as we wanted a house not an apartment (and a house in this area costs roughly the same as its equivalent in the UK or LA) and as we both speak Spanish, we didn't feel the need to settle in an ex-pat community," said a member in Monterrey, Mexico.
