Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?

The cost of housing in Kabul is generally quite expensive with most places requiring long-term leases. Rent is at least six times the minimum wage in the country, making it difficult for many people to afford. One-bedroom apartments can range from $450 to $900 a month, while villas and houses can be much more expensive and cost up to $3000 a month.
