How do I find a place to live in Munich?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"If you are looking for a place to live in Munich, there are a variety of housing options to choose from and factors to consider such as budget, location, and amenities. To get started, it is helpful to set up a rental alert and use online rental platforms such as Immobilienscout24 and WG-Gesucht to browse listings. Additionally, there are housing agents who specialize in finding flats and can help guide you through the process. It is also important to research important related topics such as how to get a local bank account, convert currency, and obtain utilities. Connecting with people already living in the city can also be beneficial in terms of obtaining helpful information," remarked another expat who made the move to Munich, Germany.

"Live near my wife's work, so the commute is walk-able, 1 mile, even in winter. We are on the subway line so city center is 15 minutes away. Used an online search to find it," explained one expat living in Munich, Germany.
