What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

Choose a safe neighborhood with many expats. Gated compounds with security and alarm systems are good.

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

It's a spacious l 2 bedroom comfortably furnished apartment. This is the standard for most expats.

Our employer Kaluworks provided us a well furnished apartment in an expat compound in Tudor.
