Hi all,
I've recently received a job offer with a financial services company based in munsbach, Luxembourg.
I've looked at some rents in the actual city but they seem to be too big for my level of pay, i'll be a junior auditor. I think i'll lease a car from the company.
I just wanted to know where ye would recommend I look for an apartment?
What about living somewhere like Trier in Germany, are the rents much cheaper? or little villages like wormeldange? is it really worth living in the centre if, as I've read, that its kinda quiet due to many workers commuting for work from outside Lux?
I'm really excited about moving and looking forward to learning a new language!
Look forward to your replies

Hello and welcome.
I'm afraid that you will find that Luxembourg is a very expensive country (especially from the standpoint of housing). But you can find more affordable rents outside of the city. I live in Kleinbettingen and the cost of housing is considerably less than living in the city. It only takes me 30 minutes to drive to work in the mornings (20 if there is no traffic... but there is almost always traffic). And you can find even cheaper places to live than Kleinbettingen that are still close enough to the city.
If I were you, I would consider what kind of lifestyle you want. If you prefer to be in the city and will be spending most of your time in the city, spend the extra money and perhaps share with someone (roommate) to cut down on expenses. But if you don't mind hopping in the car to get into the city (or taking the train/bus), then living in the suburbs will save you a lot of money.
Good luck.
Brian

Hi, We are moving - early July, or potentially early August depending on when we find the right house, but we're quite flexible.

I've asked human resources at the company and they've recommended I live closer to the centre. I suppose its best cause there'll be more happening and really rent actually doesn't seem that much more expensive than dublin. I start a contract on the 1st of september so will prob head over to lux around the middle of August. Where are ye from? How is Luxembourg? Really looking forward to it...

My contract starts on the 1st of September as well. I did my internship in Lux last year, very nice place. In any case, I think I will be looking for someone to share a flat, cause the rents are quite high. I know that for around 1500-1700 eur you can have a very nice and modern apartment close to the center. Let me know if you'd be interested.
