How do I find a place to live in Albania?
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 Albania is to use online resources such as websites and social media. Websites such as Airbnb, HomeAway, and Zillow offer a variety of rental options in Albania. Additionally, social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram can be used to search for rental listings in Albania. Additionally, it is possible to find rental listings in local newspapers and magazines. Finally, it is also possible to find rental listings by asking around in the local community," said one person in Albania.
