"The cost of housing in Turkmenistan varies depending on the location and type of housing. Generally, housing in the capital city of Ashgabat is more expensive than in other parts of the country. Prices for apartments and houses range from moderately priced to quite expensive," remarked one expat in Turkmenistan.

"They are cheaper than where I am from, but for the quality you get here and what the allowances the companies give for housing based on it being Turkmenistan, the rent is expensive. One bedroom can be between US 300-700/month. US 300-450 priced apartments are very dodgy looking," explained one expat living in Ashgabat.
