What are the different ways to get around when you've got apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro?


by Rodrigo Dutra


When thinking about ownership of apartments or real estate in Rio de Janeiro there are several things to take into consideration. As with any purchase a great deal of research must be done about properties that are for sale. One major thing to consider that people often forget about is transportation. How will you get around? Though sometimes this is easy to forget, it is certainly something that might be of interest before you are closing deals on penthouse apartments in Copacabana or Ipanema.

So first of all, what are your options as far as transportation? In Rio de Janeiro there are many. The possible choices could include car, bus, taxi, subway and in some cases boats. Definitely, your methods of transportation will also be dictated by your financial situation as well as ease. If you live in the south zone (Ipanema, Copacabana, etc.) then the subway is a very speedy and cost effective option.

Even so if you live in Barra da Tijuca or even Recreio you will have to look at other choices, since a subway won't be completed to these parts for quite a while. Having a car is necessary in these locations. Though cars tend to be high priced, it may be possible to find a good deal on a used car that is for sale. Otherwise you may be travelling with the masses by bus. It should also be noted that even with a car, travel from Barra to other parts of Rio de Janeiro can be difficult, especially during rush hour traffic. This is undoubtedly something to make a note if you are looking into real estate in these locations.

Should you be looking to purchase apartments in a place such as Niteroi a car may not be needed due to the availableness of the ferryboat. This will allow you to be at the city center in 15 minutes. Again, this a great less expensive method of travel. Though Niteroi is just outside of Rio, the lower costs could make this an appealing option. Though it's not going to be like having a penthouse in the south zone, it's a more cost effective option.

Whatever your determination ends up being, it's important to review all of your choices as well as understand the traffic conditions when looking into real estate that is for sale. You're not just planning to travel here for a vacation or a holiday. You want to live here. In the long run this will save some headaches.
