What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Hungary?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Hungary is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Hungary tend to be modern and comfortable, with a range of amenities to suit different lifestyles. Many expats choose to live in the city centre, where they can enjoy easy access to public transport, shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Expat apartments often come with a fully-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living area, and a balcony or terrace. Many also have access to a communal garden or courtyard, providing a pleasant outdoor space to relax in," remarked another expat who made the move to Hungary.
"Hungary can be challenging like any country for expats but is especially so if you came here and wonder why Hungarian people can't be more, well, American. There is not, for example a single expat in Hungary whose country did not stand on the wrong side of history. If you come here to visit, please enjoy the food, art, nature and architecture and be a good guest. If you are coming here to live, accept that Hungary, like your own country is flawed but beautiful in its very own unique way. If you can’t do that, maybe Hungary isn't for you," explained one expat living in Hungary.
