When it comes to ownership of apartments or real estate in Rio de Janeiro there are several things to consider. As with any purchase a great deal of research is required to be done about properties that are for sale. One major consideration that people frequently 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 to start, what are your options as far as transportation? In Rio de Janeiro there are many. The options could include car, bus, taxi, subway and in some cases boats. Undoubtedly, 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 fast and cost effective option.

Nonetheless if you live in Barra da Tijuca or even Recreio you will have to look at other possibilities, since a subway won't be completed to these parts for a long time. Having a car is necessary in these regions. Though cars tend to be highly-priced, it may be possible to find a good deal on a used car that is for sale. Otherwise you can 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 complicated, especially during rush hour traffic. This is undoubtedly something to make a note if you are looking into real estate in these locations.

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

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