What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

Make a trip here first and look around, meet some local people, meet some real estate agents. Research a lot before you move.

What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?

I live in a 3000 sq. ft. 3 bed. 4 bath apartment with security

How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?

Talked to several real estate agents

Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?

Much Lower
