Paris, France

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

A typical expat home or apartment in Paris is typically quite small with basic furnishings, as space is limited. The apartments are generally suitable for single occupants or a couple, but can be modified to fit more people. Many are located in the outer neighbourhoods of the city, away from the touristy areas and closer to Parisian living. Features like balconies and high ceilings can be found for a slight upgrade in price. The walls may be adorned with artwork and other decorative items, and many apartments feature modern amenities such as free WiFi, a full kitchen, and a washing machine.
