What is a typical expat home or apartment like in United States?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in United States is like. They answered...
"Initially we rented an apartment, this can be typically hard with children, although a great short term mesure, whilst you suss out which area to live in. Be careful not to sign a years lease, just in case you want to move out sooner. The get out clases can be somewhat high. Make sure you check the apartment or rental home out thoroughly first, write down any minor details/faults as well as large. Overall a good way to find out about the area's that surround you. The company Archstone has my thumbs up," remarked another expat in Fort Lauderdale, US.
"Expat homes and apartments in the United States typically present an array of options to cater to different tastes and requirements. Depending on the budget, these homes and apartments come in a variety of sizes and styles, from one-bedroom apartments to whole houses. In larger cities, one can find amenities such as gyms, pools, balconies and terraces, security systems and more. Expats are also drawn to more modern apartments with air-conditioning, stainless steel kitchens, and the latest electronics. Expats are also known to rent homes with gardens and patios for a more suburban lifestyle. Furthermore, apartments in suburban areas often have luxurious features such as well-furnished bedrooms and kitchens, laundry facilities and even game rooms. Whatever prospective expats choose, they can be sure to find a feeling of home here in the United States," said a member in United States.
