"The cost of living in Inverness, is considered to be relatively moderate compared to other cities in the UK. Housing is more affordable than in larger cities like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is reasonable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also moderate. Internet services are quite affordable and offer good value for money. Groceries in Inverness can be slightly more expensive than in other parts of the UK, due to its remote location. However, there are several supermarkets where one can find reasonably priced goods. Eating out in Inverness can range from inexpensive to pricey, depending on the restaurant. Public transportation in Inverness is reliable and affordable, with regular bus services running throughout the city. Owning a car can be more expensive, with costs including fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Healthcare in Scotland is provided by the National Health Service (NHS) and is free at the point of use for all UK residents. However, private healthcare is also available and can be quite costly.
