How do I find a place to live in Ivory Coast?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"If you are looking for a place to live in Ivory Coast, there are a few options available. You can search online for rental properties, or contact a local real estate agent who can help you find a suitable place. You can also look for furnished apartments or houses for rent in the major cities such as Abidjan, Bouaké, and Yamoussoukro. Additionally, you can look for shared accommodation with other expats or locals. Finally, you can also look for short-term accommodation such as hostels or guesthouses," said one expat in Ivory Coast.
