In season 29 episode 79 of House Hunters International, viewers are taken to Riga, Latvia where a young couple, Sintija and Alex, are searching for their first home. Sintija, a Latvian native, and Alex, an American, met in the United States and have been living there for the past few years. However, they have decided to move back to Riga to start their new life together.
The episode begins with Sintija and Alex meeting with their real estate agent, Ilze, to discuss their wants and needs in a new home. They both agree that they want a modern apartment with an open floor plan, plenty of natural light, and a balcony. They also want to be close to the city center and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
The first property that Ilze shows them is a two-bedroom apartment in a newly constructed building. The apartment has large windows and a balcony with a view of the city. Sintija and Alex love the modern design and layout of the apartment and are impressed with the amenities of the building, including a gym and rooftop terrace. However, they are hesitant about the location, which is a bit farther from the city center than they would like.
The next property they view is a one-bedroom apartment in an older building in the heart of the city. While the location is perfect, the apartment itself is quite small and outdated. Sintija and Alex are disappointed with the lack of natural light and the cramped feeling of the space.
Ilze then takes them to a third property, a spacious three-bedroom apartment in a historic building near a park. While the apartment has plenty of space and natural light, it is a bit too traditional in design for their taste, with ornate details and old-fashioned furniture. Sintija and Alex are also concerned about the maintenance of such an old building.
Finally, Ilze brings them to a fourth property, a two-bedroom apartment in a newly renovated building. The apartment has a large open floor plan, modern finishes, and a balcony with a view of the city. It is also located in the neighborhood they prefer, close to the city center and their favorite restaurants. Sintija and Alex are thrilled with the apartment and decide to make an offer.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the culture and lifestyle of Riga, as Sintija and Alex discuss the various neighborhoods and local customs with their real estate agent. They also reflect on the challenges and rewards of moving to a new country, and the importance of finding a home that feels comfortable and welcoming.
Overall, Meet Me Back Home in Riga is an engaging and informative episode of House Hunters International, showcasing the beauty and charm of this historic city while following the journey of a young couple searching for their dream home.
