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

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Russia is to use online resources such as websites and classifieds. Websites such as Avito, Cian, and Domofond are popular in Russia and offer a wide range of rental options. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on social media platforms such as VKontakte and Facebook. You can also contact local real estate agencies, which can help you find a place to live in Russia. Additionally, you can ask friends and family for recommendations or look for rental postings in local newspapers," explained one expat living in Russia.

Penny Lane did a great job helping us find our last apartment," said another expat in Moscow, Russia.
