How do I find a place to live in Parma?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One option for finding a place to live in Parma is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Immobiliare.it, Casa.it, and Idealista.it are popular sites for finding rental properties in Parma. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in the area. You can also look for rental postings in local newspapers and on bulletin boards in the city. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Parma if they know of any available rental properties," said one person in Parma.
"We were desperate as we couldn't find anything to fit our needs so we just took the one we could find. It is not a great fit for us and we have continued to search for another apartment to no avail. Italy is a place where you have to know someone and we are just now finding those connections after 2 years," said one expat who made the move to Parma.
