How do I find a place to live in United States?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"There are several different methods to find a place to live in the United States. One option is to do an online search on real estate websites such as Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com to find potential listings in the area you are interested in. You can also contact local real estate agencies and inquire about listings they have available. You can also ask your friends and family if they know of any available rentals. Lastly, you can explore "For Rent" signs advertising rentals in your desired area," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to United States.
"This is a small island so I started in a apartment behind someone's house for first year... loved it . Location was great, price reasonable and it was month to month," commented one expat who made the move to Key West, US.
