What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?
Rent first, try to stay in downtown area if you like to party or want to be able to walk everywhere. If you live a tad further out, it will save you a bit and you can still get around on your bike.
What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?
Now I own my own house. well it's really expensive here... and you have to work a lot just to keep up. A lot of people rent here, it's expensive but most houses start at 300k.
How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?
This is a small island so I started in a apartment behind someone's house for first year... loved it . Location was great, price reasonable and it was month to month.
