How do I find a place to live in Batam?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"I looked around and used local housing agents for my first house, which I overpaid on significantly. The next house was a much better deal, though still had to pay 1 year in advance," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Batam, Indonesia.
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Batam is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in Batam. Additionally, you can also search for rental listings on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, you can also ask around in the local community for recommendations on places to rent. Finally, you can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live in Batam," commented one expat who made the move to Batam, Indonesia.
