"A typical expat home or apartment in Debrecen, is often located in the city center or in close proximity to the University of Debrecen, which is a popular area for expats. These homes are usually modern and well-maintained, with a blend of traditional Hungarian and contemporary design elements. They often feature spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and one to three bedrooms. Some apartments may also come with a balcony or a small garden. Most expat homes are furnished, providing all the necessary amenities such as a washing machine, dishwasher, television, and internet connection. The buildings often have central heating, which is essential for the cold Hungarian winters. In terms of the neighborhood, expats usually live in areas that are close to supermarkets, restaurants, and public transportation links. Some may also choose to live in residential areas that are a bit further from the city center, offering a quieter environment and larger homes, often with private gardens. Despite being Hungary's second-largest city, Debrecen has a lower cost of living compared to Budapest, which allows expats to afford larger and more comfortable homes. The city also offers a range of recreational activities, from its famous thermal baths to its vibrant cultural scene, making it an attractive place for expats to live," explained one expat living in Debrecen, Hungary.
