What is a typical expat home or apartment like in United States?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in United States is like. They answered...
"A typical expat home or apartment in the United States is often modern and comfortable, typically furnished with both new and traditional furniture. Many expat homes feature amenities such as air-conditioning, wireless internet, and flat-screen televisions. If an expat lives in an urban area, their typical home may be a one- or two-bedroom condominium, townhouse, or apartment. If an expat lives in a rural area, they may have a house or a cabin. Some expats bring their own furnishings with them when they move, while others opt to purchase new furniture when they move. In either case, kitchens will often be fully equipped and many expats take advantage of the larger supply of international goods available in the US," wrote a member who made the move to United States.
