What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Zagreb?

"A typical expat home or apartment in Zagreb, is often located in the city center or in the residential areas close to it. These homes are usually modern and well-furnished, with a blend of contemporary and traditional Croatian architecture. They often feature spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and one or more bedrooms. Some apartments may also have balconies or terraces, offering views of the city or nearby parks. Many expat homes are situated in buildings with amenities such as private parking, elevators, and sometimes even a shared garden or courtyard. They are often close to local amenities like supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and public transportation links. In terms of interior design, it's common to find a mix of modern comfort and classic Croatian charm. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows are common features. Despite the historic exterior of many buildings, the inside often provides all the conveniences of modern living, such as central heating, air conditioning, and high-speed internet. For those looking for a more suburban lifestyle, there are also options outside the city center. These homes often come with more space, including private gardens and sometimes even a pool. They are typically located in quiet, family-friendly neighborhoods with easy access to international schools, making them a popular choice for expat families. Regardless of the location, most expat homes in Zagreb offer a comfortable and convenient living environment, making it easy for newcomers to settle in and feel at home," explained one expat living in Zagreb, Croatia.
