We are often asked by people new to hunting for a home in Macau “Where is the best place to live?”.
The answer to this of course depends largely on your personal perspective and circumstances.
Of course there will always be pros and cons in any property and location, so it’s good to know what is essential and what is desirable to make it a good choice for you.
Last week we highlighted ‘village living’ in Coloane, Taipa and St Paul’s in old Macau.
