What are the top factors to keep in mind when searching for a place to live in your city?
Expats, in general, prefer to live around the center of town so they can be close to everything. This usually means living in a small apartment, which is preferable for those on short-term assignments. Private condo homes are being built in the suburbs, so this will be another option for expats.
