"The cost of living in The Netherlands is generally considered to be quite high. Prices for things such as housing and food are higher than other parts of the world like Asia or Eastern Europe. A 1 bedroom apartment in the Netherlands could cost around $800-$950 USD and a 2 bedroom around $1000 - $1500. The cost of eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant in The Netherlands is estimated to cost around 20 - 25 Euros, depending on what is ordered. Some of the cities in The Netherlands including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht tend to be some of the most expensive places to live, with the cost of living rising faster than the cost of living in the rest of the country," commented one expat who made the move to Netherlands.
