How do I find a place to live in Mongolia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One way to find a place to live in Mongolia is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as expat.com, mongolia-rentals.com, and mongolianproperty.com offer a variety of rental listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on popular classifieds websites such as Craigslist and Gumtree. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Mongolia. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Mongolia for recommendations," remarked one member in Mongolia.
