How do I find a place to live in Zlin?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Zlinublic involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a shared apartment to a single-family home. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Zlin to find one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Some popular neighborhoods include the city center, Prštné, and Malenovice. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals in Zlin, such as Sreality.cz, Bezrealitky.cz, and Flatfy.cz. These websites allow you to filter your search based on your preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, price range, and location. In addition to online listings, you can also contact local real estate agencies. They can provide you with more personalized assistance and may have access to listings that are not advertised online. When you find a place that you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person and ask any questions you may have. Before signing a lease, make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms and conditions. If you're not fluent in Czech, you might want to have a translator or a local friend help you with this. Finally, once you've signed the lease, you'll need to set up utilities and internet service, and then you can move into your new home in Zlin," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Zlin.

What is the average cost of housing in Zlin?

If you are thinking about moving to Zlin, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing:

"The average cost of housing in Zlinublic, can vary greatly depending on the type and location of the property. As of recent data, the cost of purchasing an apartment in the city center may be moderately high, while in the outskirts it is relatively cheaper. For renting, a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is quite affordable, while a similar apartment outside the city center is even less expensive. However, these prices can fluctify based on market conditions and other factors," explained one person living in Zlin, Czechia.

Should I buy or rent a home in Zlin?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Zlin, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision:

"The decision to buy or rent a home in Zlinublic, depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Zlin for an extended period and have a stable income, buying a home could be a good investment, as it allows you to build equity and potentially benefit from the appreciation of property value over time. Additionally, owning a home provides a sense of stability and the freedom to make changes to the property as you wish. On the other hand, if you are unsure about your long-term plans or prefer flexibility, renting might be a better option. Renting a home in Zlin allows you to easily relocate if needed and does not require a significant upfront investment. Moreover, renting can be more affordable in the short term, as you do not have to worry about property taxes, maintenance costs, and other expenses associated with homeownership. Ultimately, the choice between buying and renting a home in Zlin depends on your individual preferences, financial situation, and future plans. It is essential to carefully consider your options and consult with a local real estate expert to make the best decision for your needs," remarked one member in Zlin.
