HOUSING IN URUGUAY
Expat areas
Montevideo is the primary Expat location within Uruguay. The most exclusive beach resort for day outings or holidays is Punta del Este, just an hour and a half drive from Montevideo.
Housing
In general, expatriates live in the suburbs of Montevideo. Apartments are the primary option for single transferees in the Pocitos area. Families with children tend to live in the suburbs to be close to the international schools, namely in the Carrasco neighbourhood.
Cost of housing
Housing in Montevideo can be very expensive and varies based on type of residence, location and standard of renovation. Rent can be anywhere from US$ 800-1000 for a small apartment in the city to US$ 2000-3000 for a house in the suburbs. The local currency is the Uruguayan Peso. |
