How do I find a place to live in Nuremberg?

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

"Finding a place to live in Nuremberg, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a single room in a shared apartment to a full house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Nuremberg to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some popular neighborhoods include the Old Town, Gostenhof, and Maxfeld. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, safety, and the presence of amenities such as shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals in Nuremberg, such as ImmobilienScout24, WG-Gesucht, and Immowelt. These websites allow you to filter results based on factors such as price, size, location, and type of accommodation. In addition to online listings, you can also check local newspapers for rental ads. Some people also find it helpful to hire a real estate agent, although this will typically involve additional fees. When you find a place that you're interested in, contact the landlord or agent to arrange a viewing. Be prepared to provide information about your income and employment status, as well as references from previous landlords if applicable. In Germany, it's common for tenants to pay a deposit of up to three months' rent upfront, so make sure you have sufficient funds available. Finally, if you're moving to Nuremberg from another country, make sure you're familiar with the local rental laws and customs. For example, in Germany, it's common for apartments to be rented unfurnished, and tenants are often responsible for installing their own kitchen appliances. It may also be helpful to learn some basic German phrases related to housing and rentals, as not all landlords or agents may speak English," said one person in Nuremberg.
