How do I find a place to live in Nara?

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

"Finding a place to live in Nara involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a traditional Japanese house to a modern apartment. Next, you should research different neighborhoods in Nara to find one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Consider factors such as proximity to public transportation, shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you have a general idea of where you'd like to live, you can start searching for available properties. Websites like Suumo, Homes, and Athome are popular real estate portals in Japan that list rental properties. These websites allow you to filter search results based on location, price, size, and other features. You can also visit real estate agencies in Nara. Agents can provide you with information about available properties and arrange viewings. They can also help you understand the terms of the lease agreement. When you find a property you're interested in, you'll need to submit an application. This typically involves providing proof of income and a copy of your passport. Once your application is approved, you'll need to pay a deposit and possibly key money, which is a non-refundable payment to the landlord. Finally, you'll sign the lease agreement. Be sure to read it carefully and ask any questions you may have. Once the lease is signed, you can move into your new home in Nara. Remember, finding a place to live in a foreign country can be challenging, so it's important to be patient and flexible during your search," said a member in Nara, Japan.
