How do I find a place to live in Luxembourg?

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

"When looking for a place to live in Luxembourg, research potential neighborhoods that are best suited for your lifestyle and budget. Consider seeking advice from local expats on housing communities and rental possibilities. Use online sites and services such as Immobilière Eiffel, Patrimoines, Delano Real Estate, or your employer's real estate solution to search for and compare housing options. Make sure to cross-check with other sources for available housing listings. When narrowing down potential locations, look at photos of the property, learn about the local transportation system, the amenities nearby, and the distance to places of work or study. When ready to inquire, contact the landlord directly to get more information or arrange a visit. When ready to sign the contract, make sure to read the agreement carefully, and be aware of a few things specific to the rental process in Luxembourg such as the waiving of professional real estate fees, or the safety deposit (usually an amount equivalent to two months’ rent.)," wrote a member who made the move to Luxembourg.

"We have been here nearly 2 years. When my husband got the job offer to come over here, it was late August. The company flew us over in early September to look at housing. There was only one house in this town. After looking at houses that were 30 minutes from the school, we chose the first one. It's all about location, location, location. Our town has many expat families, so the carpooling opportunities are numerous. Besides, it is not our house, it is someone elses. Our time here is temporary. You don't want to spend weekends (Saturdays only as Sundays you can't use any power equipment!) worrying about the house. It's closer to school and a bit older, but conveniently located and serves the purpose," explained one expat living in Bertrange, Luxembourg.
