How do I find a place to live in Nagoya?

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

"Finding a place to live in Nagoya, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a shared apartment to a private house. Next, you should decide on the area you want to live in. Nagoya is a large city with many different neighborhoods, each with its own unique character. Some popular areas for expats include Sakae, Fushimi, and Osu. Once you've decided on your budget and preferred area, you can start searching for available properties. There are several online real estate portals that list properties for rent in Nagoya, such as SUUMO, Homes, and Athome. These websites allow you to filter properties by price, size, location, and other criteria. You can also visit real estate agencies in Nagoya. These agencies have English-speaking staff who can help you find a suitable property. Some well-known real estate agencies in Nagoya include Century 21 and Able. When you find a property you're interested in, you'll need to contact the landlord or real estate agency to arrange a viewing. If you decide to rent the property, you'll typically need to provide some documents, such as a copy of your passport and proof of income. In Japan, it's common to pay a deposit and key money (a non-refundable payment to the landlord) when you sign the lease. You'll also need to pay the first month's rent in advance. Finally, once you've signed the lease and paid all the necessary fees, you can move into your new home in Nagoya. Remember to register your new address at the local ward office within 14 days of moving in," said a member in Nagoya, Japan.
