"The cost of living in Perth can be considered moderate compared to other cities in the UK. Housing tends to be more affordable than in larger cities like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center may be relatively lower, while a similar apartment outside the city center would cost even less. When it comes to utilities, including electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage, the monthly cost is also reasonable. Internet connection is generally affordable and of good quality. Grocery prices in Perth are reasonable, with local markets and supermarkets offering a wide range of products. Eating out in Perth can vary, with the cost of a meal at an inexpensive restaurant being quite affordable, while a three-course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant would be more expensive. Public transportation in Perth is reliable and affordable, with options including buses and trains. However, many residents choose to drive, and the cost of gasoline is comparable to the rest of the UK. Overall, while the cost of living in Perth, Scotland is generally lower than in larger UK cities, it's important to note that individual costs can vary greatly depending on personal lifestyle and choices," commented one expat who made the move to Perth, Scotland.
