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

"We live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I think it's pretty small but not too small, I would like one more room for an office. Most of the expats that live here are not from Europe or the states and I've been told it's normal," commented one expat who made the move to Stromberg, Germany.

"Typical expat homes and apartments in Germany are modern and comfortable, often with modern and updated amenities such as stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and balconies. Furniture is typically simple and functional, and many places come equipped with washing machines and dryers. Many homes have an open plan kitchen and living area and perhaps a study or work corner. Homes come in various forms such as individual houses, townhouses, contemporary apartments or loft-style living," remarked another expat in Germany.
