What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Faro?

"A typical expat home or apartment in Faro, is often located in the city center or in the surrounding coastal areas, offering easy access to local amenities and beautiful sea views. These homes are usually modern and well-maintained, with a blend of traditional Portuguese architecture and contemporary design. They often feature spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and one to three bedrooms. Many apartments also come with a balcony or terrace, perfect for enjoying the warm Portuguese weather. Some expat homes may also have a small garden or patio area. For those living in apartments, there are usually shared facilities like a swimming pool, gym, or communal garden. The homes are often furnished, but unfurnished options are also available for those who prefer to bring or buy their own furniture. Air conditioning and heating systems are common due to the region's hot summers and mild winters," remarked another expat who made the move to Faro, Portugal.
