Welcome back to the third part of this article on the most popular places to live in Macau for expatriates.
We are often asked by people new to hunting for a home in Macau “Where is the best place to live?”. Last week we highlighted Nova City, Ocean Gardens, Supreme Flower City and Pearl on the Lough all situated in Taipa.
This week we will take a look at the historic and quaint areas of Old Taipa, St Paul’s in Macau and Houston Court in Coloane Village. We also touch on areas that are new and developing.
