What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?

We live in an apartment complex close to downtown Prague (Praha 2, Nove Mesto). Our apartment has a small garden, a common area, a swimmingpool and fitness facilities. Other expats live in our building, but many expat friends live in houses outside of town.

How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?

We found our apartment online after recommendations from a colleague.

Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?

We pay the same here as we did for a house close to the beach and forest in a nice area of Denmark.
