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.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ answer to this question. Over the next four weeks we can share with you the 12 most popular places to live in Macau for expatriates.
Asking and answering some of the important questions below may help to narrow your focus before you start your property search;

What kind of area do I want to live in?
What do I need to be near to?
What facilities do I want in my building?
What requirements do I have from my property?
What will my budget get me?

Remember there will always be pros and cons in any property and location, so it is good to know what is important to you and what are the most desirable features that you are looking for.
