What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Czech Rep?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Czech Rep is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Czechia tend to be modern and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and open spaces. Many apartments come with balconies or terraces, and some even have access to a garden. Expat homes and apartments are usually well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, such as washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioning. Furnishings tend to be modern and stylish, and many apartments come with a fully-equipped kitchen. Expat homes and apartments in Czechia are typically located in the city center, close to public transportation, shops, and restaurants," remarked another expat in Czech Rep.
"We live in a two bedroom apartment on the second floor of a family house on a quiet street, a 5 minute tram ride from downtown. We don't know too many other expats, but it seems that living in a house rather than an apartment building is standard, as most apartments here are in communist-era buildings and are very, very small and not well maintained. My favorite thing about living here is that the family who owns the house is wonderful and we've become good friends. They have also introduced us to their friends who have shared some of our most memorable experiences in the Czech Republic. The worst thing about living here is that almost none of the neighbors speak to us. There are two people in the neighborhood who say hello; one who lives across the street, and the other who walks his dog several times a day by our house. Otherwise, even people we see almost every day won't even say hello. Nothing serious, just that feeling of being "other" or "outsider."," said a member in Brno, Czech Rep.
