How do I find a place to live in Cork?

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

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Cork is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Daft.ie, Rent.ie, and MyHome.ie are popular resources for finding rental properties in Cork. Additionally, you can search for rental properties on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. You can also contact local real estate agents to inquire about available properties. Finally, you can look for “To Let” signs in the area, which are often posted by landlords or property owners," explained one person living in Cork, Ireland.
