How do I find a place to live in Kyrgyzstan?

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

"One way to find a place to live in Kyrgyzstan is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as expat.com, expat-blog.com, and expat-housing.com offer listings of apartments and houses for rent in Kyrgyzstan. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on local classifieds websites such as kyrgyzstan.expatads.com and kyrgyzstan.craigslist.org. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Kyrgyzstan. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Kyrgyzstan for recommendations," said one person in Kyrgyzstan.
