How do I find a place to live in Dubrovnik?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Dubrovnik involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from an apartment, a house, or even a room in a shared house. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Dubrovnik to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some popular areas include the Old Town, Ploce, and Lapad. 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 Dubrovnik. Websites like Njuskalo, Crozilla, and Indomio are popular in Croatia. You can also use international websites like Airbnb for short-term rentals or if you're looking for a furnished place. Another option is to hire a real estate agent. They can help you navigate the local market, arrange viewings, and handle negotiations. When you find a place you like, make sure to visit it in person before making any commitments. Check the condition of the property, the amenities, and the surrounding area. Finally, once you've found your ideal place, you'll need to sign a lease agreement. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms before signing. It's also a good idea to have a local or someone fluent in Croatian help you with this to ensure you fully understand the contract. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so be patient and don't rush the process," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Dubrovnik.
