What advice to expats in La Rochelle have about housing?

When we asked people living in La Rochelle about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in La Rochelle advise that finding housing can be competitive, especially during the summer months when the city is a popular tourist destination. They recommend starting your search well in advance and being prepared to act quickly when you find a place you like. Many expats suggest using local real estate agencies or online platforms to find housing. They also recommend considering the location carefully, as some areas of the city are more desirable than others. Expats also advise that it's important to understand the terms of your lease before signing. In France, it's common for leases to be for one year, but some landlords may require a longer commitment. Additionally, expats suggest budgeting for additional costs such as utilities, which may not be included in the rent, and a security deposit, which is typically equivalent to one or two months' rent. Finally, expats in La Rochelle recommend considering whether you want to live in the city center, which is bustling and vibrant, or in a quieter, more residential area. Both have their advantages, so it's a matter of personal preference," commented one expat who made the move to La Rochelle, France.
