How do I find a place to live in Ethiopia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Finding a place to live in Ethiopia can be a challenge, but there are a few options available. One option is to look for rental properties in the major cities such as Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, and Mekelle. You can search online for rental listings or contact a local real estate agent for assistance. Another option is to look for furnished apartments or houses for rent in the suburbs of the major cities. You can also look for shared housing options such as hostels, guesthouses, and homestays. Finally, you can look for long-term rental options in rural areas, which may be more affordable than urban areas," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Ethiopia.
