The verdict
Mixed · 52Mixed picture: people admire the beauty and calm, but say living there is expensive, residency paperwork is slow, and it suits mainly the wealthy.
- beautiful scenery and beaches
- calm, tranquil atmosphere
- welcoming locals
- nature and landscape
- appealing as a retirement spot
- high cost of living and rent
- residency bureaucracy and delays
- exclusive, mostly for millionaires
- low local wages versus prices
- club scene and tourist crowds
- Stunning place, but priced for wealthy people, not ordinary earners.
- Residency paperwork is slow, stressful, and takes far longer than expected.
- Rent plus agent fees and deposits add substantially to the listed price.
- Neighborhoods away from the seafront in Montevideo are far more affordable.
- Calm and natural beauty make it worth it for those who can afford it.
