Summary: People living in Kenya offer advice about real estate. How do you find a home in Kenya? Should you buy or rent? What is the cost of housing?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Our employer Kaluworks provided us a well furnished apartment in an expat compound in Tudor," said another person in Mombasa.
"Was born here so I am somewhat familiar with the areas, but after so many years away, use someone local that you trust. Keep in mind "Help" is not free in Kenya, even when people are supposed to do their job," remarked another foreigner who made the move to Nairobi, the whole country.
