We have moved to Ecuador. Join us on our Expat life in Ecuador. We love nature photography and this channel will focus not just on our new lives in Ecuador but also on us capturing this amazingly diverse country. Are you thinking of maybe moving abroad? Are you ready to move out of your comfort zone? Well maybe its time to "Live the Life you Love"
In this video we tour to great properties for sale. Watch this for our first impressions.

We do real estate videos from time to time as many of our viewers are looking at moving to Ecuador and want to see homes for sale and rent to get an idea about price. We always contact real estate agents ourselves and ask if they are interested to showing properties on video. We don't get paid by them for showing any properties. This is all about showing our viewers what they are interested in seeing. Take care and live the life you love.

Very nice places. The penthouse is in the Rosa Zone. Between Gringolandia and El Centro. A nice area for expats. Nice apartments like this on long term rent/lease for $650/$750. The house is on the other side of El Centro in the San Blas neighborhood. Not as many Gringo's. I like this area. It's a short walk to everything I like. The $750 a month for the apartment seems a little high for the area. But, if it was all inclusive and they let me have my cat I would think about it. A perfect place for a single person. Hope you don't mind me putting in numbers for those of us not looking to buy.

Penthouse is in Zone Rosa. West of El Centro. The house is in San Blas. East of El Centro. Cities are noisy. Side streets are better. But if you're noise sensitive they may still bother you. To the South, across the river are the neighborhoods of El Vergel and Remigio Crespo. Same easy walking to El Centro but much quieter.

Loved the videos (Part 1 and 2). Would love to see more rural (offg-grid?) properties in the Cuenca area. I have a (big) dog and would definitely need a garden. Alternatively, are there any gated communities with amenities like clubhouse, pool, etc? Would love to see some of those. Thanks for sharing! 😃

Hi. Thanks for watching. Unfortunately we are back on the coast and not doing anymore Cuenca Real estate videos until next year. However there are some beautiful rural properties outside Cuenca. Contact Ashley. Her website has many of them. Good luck.

Did you mention what your 'driver' to Cuenca cost ? Now flights....manta to Cuenca? Convenient ? Cost? Also, LATAM has flts Miami to quito, hour layover, last leg to Cuenca. *ERIC and Sandy@* show ( utube) LATAM flts and rave about superior service, cleanliness flying LATAM. I saw added flts, LATAM Boston and New York. I didn't check flt times, connections. LATAM is in partnership w Delta I'm told. LATAM= owned by Chilean Co.

The first apartment looks really nice. But so much traffic noise is coming in through those windows. Has Ecuador not invented double glazed windows with a good seal yet?

@KrisandMike 8 ай бұрын

Noise is looked at differently here lol We could do a whole video on it.

@brianhansen2202 8 ай бұрын

@@KrisandMike I guess you are right. But could you buy an apartment and change all windows to double or tripple glazed? Or do they not exist? It would do wonders to both the noise level and the energy bill (heating / airconditioning)

@@brianhansen2202They must have it in the cooler valleys like Cuenca but I am not sure. Part of the noise problem in cities is the motorcycles that many clearly are not using mufflers or they are broken. Lol.

what ae re condo fees + electric monthly bills all costs

@KrisandMike 8 ай бұрын

In all of Ecuador almost all condo fees are under 100. That place was 81. Electric bills are typically 30-80 unless you use air conditioners which would be for the coast and amazon area. Rest of the bills are all very cheap. Property taxes is usually around 100 a year. Yes that cheap. If you want specific info for that condo please contact Ashley. Check description of video for info. Thanks for watching.

Utilities for most people ( gas, electric, water, internet ) run below $100.

I never deal with expat salespeople. For buying or for renting. You will end up paying between %30 to %50 % more money. Get an interpreter and dead direct local owners. Use a lawyer and check the contract. Also, search for government value.
