With a population of more than 60,000, Sopron is located just across the border from Austria and about an hour by car from Vienna. Sopron is a picturesque city which dates back to Roman Empire. One member explained how Sopron's close proximity to Austria have impacted rental prices, "Sopron apartments for rent are not the cheapest one because lots of Hung coming there from around the country. They are living in Sopron but they are working in Austria. From Sopron to Vienna is only 40 min by car. And takes you 5 min drive to be in Austria. The rent for a 2 room apartment in Sopron furnished will be around 80-90K HUF/month. You can also look on the small places (villages) around the Sopron. In Sopron, it's an easy city to live. People are friendly there."
