Should I buy or rent a home in Parma?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Parma, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Parma can be a great investment. The city is known for its rich culture, beautiful architecture, and delicious cuisine. The cost of living in Parma is relatively low compared to other cities in Italy, making it an attractive option for those looking to purchase a home. Additionally, the city is well-connected to other parts of Italy, making it easy to travel to other cities and explore the country. Renting a home in Parma is also an option, and can be a great way to experience the city without the commitment of buying a home. Renting can be a great way to explore the city and get to know the area before making a long-term commitment," commented one expat who made the move to Parma, Italy.
