An Expat Talks about Moving to Columbus, Ohio
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Columbus
What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?
Contact me!
Seriously. I am working in a mortgage company (www.americanhm.com). I can advise, as best I can, or at least confer with one of the Loan Officers and endless list of Realtors we have.
What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?
Bungalow style; ground floor house with finished basement. No, this is not usual. Depending on what your financial situation is you can do very well.
How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?
My wife was already in the neighborhood: Upper Arlington.

Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?
Lower, I feel. You get more for your money as space is not so limited.
Average costs: our mortgage is $1,100. That's for 3bdrm, 1bthrm, acreage....
