What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?
It depends where are you going to work. If you choose a district with a bad commute you can travel 2 hours to your work-place. I suggest close to the metro stations - Ursynow district is cheap, Zoliborz and Srodmiescie are quite expensive. Zoliborz is one of the locations with most parks in Warsaw.
What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?
Appartment of 80 m2 top floor. Zoliborz distrcit, close to the park. Mostly Expats live in the center of the city.
How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?
