"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," commented one expat who made the move to Norway.

Most live in "normal" houses. I didn't have much choice," remarked another expat in Skei i Jolster, Norway.
