How do I find a place to live in Madrid?

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

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Madrid is to use online rental websites such as Idealista, Fotocasa, and Habitaclia. These websites allow you to search for rental properties in Madrid by location, price, and other criteria. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in renting properties in Madrid. They can provide you with more information about the local rental market and help you find a place that meets your needs. Finally, you can also look for rental postings on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter," remarked another expat who made the move to Madrid, Spain.

"Looked through a bunch of apartments mostly near the center. Asked around a bit at work as well. Found a flat in a good, central party area. It is small but I don't mind and I live with great people. A co-worker of mine found a place a week later 10 min away from me. for only 100euro more he gets a huge room, huge 2 story apartment with 2 balconies," explained one expat living in Madrid, Spain.
