We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"Finding a place to live in Lucca, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large villa, depending on your needs and financial capabilities. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Lucca to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to the city center, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, while others may be more residential and quiet. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Lucca, such as Immobiliare.it, Casa.it, and Idealista. These websites allow you to filter your search based on various criteria, such as price, size, location, and type of property. In addition to online searches, you may also want to consider hiring a local real estate agent. They can provide valuable insights into the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the legal process of renting or buying a property in Italy. Visiting Lucca in person before making a decision is also highly recommended. This will give you a better feel for the city and allow you to visit potential homes in person. Once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a contract. If you're renting, this will typically be a lease agreement. If you're buying, you'll need to sign a preliminary contract before the final deed of sale is drawn up. Finally, you'll need to set up utilities and services such as electricity, water, and internet. This can usually be done by contacting the relevant companies directly or through your real estate agent. Remember, moving to a new country can be a complex process, so it's important to do your research and seek professional advice if needed," commented one expat who made the move to Lucca, Italy.
