Valparaiso - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Housing is very inexpensive by US standards. It is entirely possible to get a well-appointed, spacious house with a spectacular balcony overlooking the city for US$200 per month. Feel free to shop around, as well, as each area of the city provides different nuances and has a different feel. For those with more discerning tastes, Viña del Mar (some 10 minutes by train or bus) provides more upscale living where rents can be as high as US$2,000 per month, an almost unfathomable figure locally. - Jul 2006
