How do I find a place to live in Hungary?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We looked online and found it on a Ingatlan (Realtor) Hungarian/English site. Wasn't very hard to look through the pictures. You can also use sites like xpatloop.com to help locate the Realtors. Housing in Budapest is expensive right now for anything above 900 sq ft. and hard to find," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
