My wife and I are moving to Malaysia (from USA) after Christmas.

I will be working at Sunway University in Bandar Sunway,
We are seeking advice on where to live, and possibilities of employment for my wife. She has been very successful managing non-profits, including fundraising, grant writing, and strategic planning.

We would also appreciate suggestions on where to stay while we look for housing.

Hello,

Where you should live depends on if you have kids and what kind of lifestyle you are looking for. The non-negotiable is that you want to live somewhere with 24 hr security. There are tons of options. Check out the site iproperty.com.my for housing. Best thing is to find a couple places you like and make appointments to go see them. We saw a number of different places with 4-5 agents before we found an agent that understood what we were looking for. Oh, and the market is soft so you will definitely be able to negotiate the cost and any other requirements.

As for interim housing, I'd google serviced apartments or long stay hotels. We spent a month in one while we found a place and waited for our stuff to arrive. It made things more tolerable to have a small kitchen and a bit of space. We stayed in the Somerset but there are a number of options and because we paid for the month, it was cheaper than a hotel.

Good luck.
