We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in United States is like. They answered...

"Initially we rented an apartment, this can be typically hard with children, although a great short term mesure, whilst you suss out which area to live in. Be careful not to sign a years lease, just in case you want to move out sooner. The get out clases can be somewhat high. Make sure you check the apartment or rental home out thoroughly first, write down any minor details/faults as well as large. Overall a good way to find out about the area's that surround you. The company Archstone has my thumbs up," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Fort Lauderdale, US.

"Large detached. Had to get used to the unfenced gardens. Youngest child was confined to the deck," commented one expat who made the move to Morristown, US.
