Should I buy or rent a home in Maadi?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Maadi, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"It depends on your individual situation. Buying a home in Maadi will usually be more expensive than renting, but it also offers more security and stability by giving you the chance to build equity. On the other hand, renting can offer more flexibility and freedom since you don’t commit to a long-term home purchase. Consider your financial situation, lifestyle and goals to decide which option is best for you," remarked another expat who made the move to Maadi, Egypt.
