How do I find a place to live in Bulgaria?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Wanted a house in town with land at a good price, but hard to come by. Searched many many estate agents, found 2 luckily in the same area, brought one of these, as don't drive its easy to walk into town, no problems in winter, and am on the main train line so can get anywhere in Bulgaria," explained one expat living in Pleven, Bulgaria.
