Here's a short introduction to our Where to Live section for Germany.Whether to rent or buy a home in Germany is one thing. But one of the most important decisions you’ll make upon arriving at your new location is where to live. The cost of housing, proximity to work, schools and amenities should be considered as well as your preferred neighbourhood. Some people prefer to stay in neighbourhoods popular with other internationals, while others choose to live in areas popular with locals.
An Expatica poll reveals that when looking for expat accommodation, most people consider the neighbourhood (54 percent) and then price (24 percent) and a recent study shows that expat housing is tied to job success.
Köln
Which city, town or neighbourhood to live in
Expatica’s ‘Where to Live’ channel carries articles providing details of key areas in your new country or city of residence to help you start your search. For example, Expatica Germany’s article on living in Cologne or Bonn advises how to live in Cologne and work in Bonn (or vice versa) and informs you how to capitalise on expat real estate laws.The Where to live section covers the main cities in Germany such as Berlin, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, and Munich.
Ask your fellow expats
Other expats are a great source of information about what different areas are like. Why not try asking in the Expatica forums for people’s impressions of the place you’re interested in? You can also ask our experts on our Ask the expert section for advice on where to live in Germany and about neigbhourhoods in your destination city.
