How do I find a place to live in Libya?

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

"Finding a place to live in Libya can be a challenge, as the country is still in the midst of a civil war. However, there are still some options available. One way to find a place to live is to contact a local real estate agent or property management company. These companies can help you find a suitable rental property or even a home to purchase. Additionally, you can search online for rental listings or look for postings on local bulletin boards. It is also possible to find a place to live through word of mouth, so it is worth asking around to see if anyone knows of a place that is available," remarked one member in Libya.
