"The average cost of housing in Norway is generally quite expensive, with prices in the major cities typically above the national average. Renting accommodation can be especially costly, while purchasing a home is also quite expensive, partly due to high property taxes," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Norway.

"The housing and food costs is the most expensive you will ever find in all of the world. Our small 1bdrm is $1300 and food costs are about $1200/mth for 2 people. Beers are $12/pint if that gives you any indication of food prices," commented one expat who made the move to Tromso, Norway.
