Where should I live in Hobart?

We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Hobart involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a single room in a shared house to a fully furnished apartment or a standalone house. Next, you should identify the areas in Hobart that you'd prefer to live in. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, safety, and the availability of amenities such as shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list rental properties in Hobart, such as realestate.com.au, Domain, and Gumtree. These websites allow you to filter properties based on location, price, property type, and number of bedrooms, among other factors. You can also engage the services of a real estate agent. They can help you find properties that match your criteria, arrange viewings, and guide you through the application process. When you find a property you're interested in, you'll need to submit an application. This typically involves providing references, proof of income, and identification. If your application is successful, you'll then sign a lease agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of your tenancy. Finally, before moving in, you'll need to pay a bond (usually equivalent to four weeks' rent) and the first month's rent in advance. The bond is held as security in case you breach the terms of your lease. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's a good idea to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," explained one expat living in Hobart, Australia.
