What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?
Consider renting if you are not concerned about having equity. I actually looked at renting when I first planned my move and decided that buying was better. Now almost 3 years later, renting would have been a better option for me, based on current rental costs.
What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?
I live in a semi-detached 2 bedroom villa. It is typical for most expats.
How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?
I lived in the area for 3 months trying to decide where I would choose to by my house. I found my house through an estate agent.

The housing costs were slightly higher than Florida, but the housing market has changed drastically in the past 2 years. Right now in Cyprus, you could rent a 3-bedroom villa for 500 Euros a month.
