How to find a villa in Senegal?

In Senegal in Dakar in general and in particular, how to find a home depends not only on the neighborhood but also the standing buildings.

So when it comes to residential areas such as HLM Grand Medine, Yoff, the SICAP Freedom, Sicap Baobab, SICAP Friendship or Sacred Heart, the ideal, unless to go to a rental agency, is to travel within these districts and to learn from these old people are always in public places, as most of them are called "brokers". They have a broad knowledge of all there is to rent housing in Dakar. Therefore, even for a villa in Senegal these brokers can be very useful. It is important to know that a broker worth between 1000 and 1500 FCFA € 2.5, especially if it does not receive commission from the owner.

But in the neighborhoods of luxury, rental management lies exclusively with estate agents found elsewhere in the city (Pompidou Avenue, Independence Square ...). This gives you a multiple choice in terms of the lease in Dakar.

In the neighborhoods (Yoff fisherman, Medina, Ngor Fisher or fisherman Hann) things are much simpler. If you are looking for an apartment, a house or just a room, simply go door to door and ask people if there's a room to rent in the area (NAMA keur Fi button rent? in Wolof). And without much effort if not a bit of walking, eventually you will find the right person for you to rent a room that would suit you.

In terms of security for your peace, all depends on the area you choose. The eastern neighborhoods are less calm (Pikine, Colobane Plots Assainies ...), or those in the West are much more safe and calm (Sacred Heart, Point E, Mermoz, Fann, Ouakam, Friendship, ... Ngor). The choice is yours and above all we must try to find the price / quality ratio that suits you.
