"Expat homes and apartments in Sweden tend to be modern and well-equipped, with plenty of natural light and a neutral colour palette. Many apartments come with a balcony or terrace, and some even have access to a garden. Expats can expect to find a fully-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living area, and plenty of storage space. Most apartments also come with access to a laundry room and a shared outdoor area.
