What do I need to know before retiring in Cambridge?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cambridge, they said...
"Before retiring in Cambridge, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than the UK average. They should also research the local housing market to find a suitable property, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should familiarise themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, expats should consider the climate in Cambridge, which is generally mild but can be unpredictable," remarked another expat who made the move to Cambridge, England.
"I would tell them to either buy a bike or rely on public transportation. Parking and car ownership in and around the city can be expensive and frustrating. I would also say expect to spend more on housing here as it is a city in demand," explained one expat living in Cambridge, UK.
