What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Malaysia?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Malaysia is like. They answered...
"We live in a 4 bedroom standalone house [bungalow]. Most expats take either a house or apartment, depending on whether or not they have children, or major security concerns. Apartments have better security and amenities, but are typically smaller. Many houses have pools," said a member in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Many expat homes come equipped with a large terrace or garden, providing a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for expats and their families. Expat apartments often come with access to swimming pools and gyms, as well as shared recreational areas such as BBQ pits or playgrounds.
