American couple in the process of moving to Valencia (greater Valencia)

Hi, this is Carol and Harry, we are a retired American couple in the process of moving to Spain specifically to the greater Valencia area. Hopefully no later than October 2023. We are interested in where to live in that area (outside of Valencia city) as well as what health insurance provider to choose, where to learn Spanish and of course to find places to meet other Americans once we are in Spain. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Hello.   I'm also moving to Valencia with my husband this fall.   We are planning our trip in early October to purchase an apartment.  We're moving from Florida and planning to retire.  We hope to be settled in my end of the year.  Where are you in your process?   Look forward to meeting you one day soon.  Lynn and Mark

Hi Lynn, I live in florida  (Boca and now Delray) as well and searching for info in Valencia. On May I visited Sevilla and Malaga, and love those cities. Planning on going to visit Valencia next year and would like to have your feedback on d apt search experience, maybe the safest neighborhoods or the real estate agent working with...thanks in advance for your input :)

I chose Valencia after visiting up and down the coast, it's not huge but big enough, full of culture and history but also easy to get around. I have bought an apartment in Cullera 30mins south, Valencia was above my budget. I thoroughly recommend Valencia Properties real estate, Gavin or Graham. They helped not only with the search but with getting a bank account,  solicitor, NIE, getting the services connected... brilliant. All the best!

@musiclynk321 were you able to buy as a tourist?
