What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Romania?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Romania is like. They answered...
"I live in a rented flat on the 9th floor. It's a renovated 3-room apartment in a communistic block and I share it with 2 other expat, one of which is a colleague of mine, the other - a firend of a colleague. It's quite typical to share apartments, because most expats work in a more or less international environment with other expat folks. Also, compared to food prices at a market, for example, I find apartments to be disproportionately expensive. Especially when renting a studio," commented one expat who made the move to Bucharest, Romania.

"Expat homes and apartments in Romania tend to be modern and comfortable, with many featuring modern amenities such as air conditioning, high-speed internet, and cable television. Expats often choose to live in larger cities such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Timisoara, where they can find a variety of housing options, from luxury apartments to more affordable options. Many expats also choose to live in smaller towns and villages, where they can enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle and take advantage of the beautiful scenery," remarked another expat in Romania.
