Atlantida-why not?


Retirement in Uruguay
Retirement, Uruguay

Candice Bishop (64.40.51.19) - Thu Mar 27 15:01:02 2008

I will be making my first trip to UR in April. I have done a lot of research and am interested in retiring to Atlantida in a couple of years. Why does everyone(expats)go to Piri & Punta?

I don't like crowds, traffic, noise or crime & will be living simply on a budget. Atlantida is close to MV & has lower property prices. It looks beautiful. Any thoughts/ideas about this small town? Anyone living there full or part time?

Does Atlantida have a tourist office? Can you get

there from the MV airport on the Punta bus? Are there any English speaking real estate agents?

Thank you for your help.

Candy

The key is to come down and check out the places.

The smaller the towns the more difficult it will be to find an English speaking real estate agent. I think the newspaper is the best place to start looking and also signs on property.

You might find someone to help you with the Spanish.

Also, make sure 100% of the papers are in order before you buy a property. Don't accept that you can get the papers done after you buy the property for $x.

I don't find Montevideo to be a problem with crowds, traffic (usually), crime, or noise (if you get a place on a non-bus route). Compared to other "big" cities there is very little siren noise... but compared to Atlantida, Montevideo is probably very loud.

I think you'll find Atlantida, Piraopolis, Punta del Este to be very different during the high season and the rest of the year so I would recommend you rent for at least a year to get a good feel for it before you are committed.

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 2887
