i just posted this on the expat blog too.

my husband and i are in UR now looking for a place to call home. this is our exploratory trip (we've also traveled in AR).  But UR seems just right.

we're in punte del este right now.  this area is too touristy for us but the suburbs surrounding are beautiful. We stayed in Piriapolis and loved the valleys behind it on ruta 37.  optimally we'd like 5 hectares to grow some greens and have some goats and chickens but we're open to other possibilities.  this is a home we toured with the idea of renting it during off season for a remarkably amazingly stunningly good price. $550 for a two story fully furnished house one home up from the beach.  it's modern and fresh, a lovely home.  link to pics:

antlantida was also very pretty.  we're heading back to Montevideo and on to Colonia, heading home the 14th.

we're from LA and rents/sale prices are sky high there.  my hubs speaks some spanish, i've just started a spanish class at my local jc.

my only big challenge is my 'anipals' i have in LA.  3 house rabbits i have to get down here 'in cabin'.  no cargo holds.

any advice or realtor referrals out there would be greatly appreciated.

Chau.

Hi. Glad to hear you're enjoying your visit in Uruguay. We have a great realtor, but I'm not sure if they do anything outside of Montevideo: http://www.estudiovip.com/. If you contact them, just let them know that Brian and Chrystal Johnson referred you.

We had originally only planned to stay in Montevideo for 6 months while we explored the rest of Uruguay and chose our next place to live. But, we'll be in Montevideo for 12 months now since the hospitals are here and our baby is due in February.

We also like Piriapolis, and are looking for an area where we can grow our own food. Perhaps somewhere further down the coast in the Rocha department or up near Tuacarembo. There are just so many options. It all depends on exactly what you're looking for.

The flickr link you posted isn't working, but it sounds like a pretty good deal for Piriapolis.

Chrystal

thanks for the inmobilario referral.

we're now in Colonia and love it. beautiful town and more reasonably priced than the coast. we've heard from several sources that winters on the coast are cold and less hospitable bc of the high winds that blow.

we are going to rent for our first year before we buy so we can look around more too.

wish you well in february with the baby.

love your blog too.

best,
alinda
