How do I find a place to live in Annecy?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"To find a place to live in Annecy, you can start by searching online on websites such as Seloger, Leboncoin, and Bien'ici, which are popular French property listing websites. You can also visit local real estate agencies in Annecy, such as Century 21, Orpi, and LaforĂȘt, where you can speak with a real estate agent who can help you find a suitable place based on your preferences and budget. Another option is to join local Facebook groups or online forums dedicated to housing and rentals in Annecy, where you can find listings posted by locals and expats. You can also ask for recommendations from friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who live in the area. When searching for a place to live, consider factors such as proximity to public transportation, schools, shops, and other amenities. It's also a good idea to visit the neighborhood during different times of the day to get a feel for the area and to ensure it meets your needs and preferences. Once you find a place that interests you, schedule a viewing with the landlord or real estate agent, and be prepared to provide documents such as proof of income, identification, and references. Be aware that you may need to pay a security deposit and agency fees if you're renting through a real estate agency," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Annecy.
