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

"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.

"Renting a flat. I think this is very common in Munich. 40% of the population is from outside of Bavaria or Germany. Not too many US expats. But there are a couple of US expat groups," said a member in Munich, Germany.
