How do I find a place to live in Dhaka?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Finding a place to live in Dhaka can be a daunting task. The best way to start is by researching the different neighborhoods and areas of the city. You can look for listings online, or ask friends and family who live in the area for recommendations. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who can help you find a place that meets your needs. Once you have narrowed down your search, it is important to visit the area in person to get a better feel for the neighborhood and to make sure it is a good fit for you," remarked another expat in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
"Basically my company decided. All expats lived in Gulshan area so we went for same. Baridhara seemed nicer but it was more expensive too. Now they have started construction on high buildings everywhere in both Gulshan and Baridhara and it is quite tough to live in these areas. In a few years these areas will not be so called residential anymore. My company used an agent to see apartments," said a member in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
