When talking about Rio de Janeiro, people normally think about it as a spot to travel. Going on that incredible vacation, perhaps hoping to never come home again to their lack luster flats and apartments. But what about that person who essentially does decide to never come home? How do the local people get by here? Beach front real estate apartment penthouses in Ipanema and Copacabana aren't necessarily going to be low-priced for everyone and certainly not hotels. So while we're on the subject of price, perhaps you should think of accommodations for sale in a place like Niteroi.
