What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Norway?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Norway is like. They answered...
"I live in a huge former old peoples' home except I don't live in it. There's no work for me near the house and I don't live in Norway though I work there and pay tax there. 22 years in Norway and I've had a residence permit for about 9 months. Most expats in the area? Most live in "normal" houses. I didn't have much choice," said another expat in Skei i Jolster, Norway.
"A typical expat home or apartment in Norway is usually modern and bright, featuring light-colored décor. Expat homes and apartments typically have large windows that let in the natural light, and the majority of dwellings come fully equipped with modern appliances, furniture and kitchenware. Many expat apartments include access to some form of outdoor space, such as a balcony or terrace, and some dwellings also have a sauna and/or steam room. depending on the area, many Norwegian homes offer amazing views of nature, such as mountains, fjords or forests," wrote a member who made the move to Norway.
