Where should I live in Geelong?

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 Geelong involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could be a house, apartment, or shared accommodation. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Geelong to find one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Some popular areas include Newtown, Belmont, and Geelong West. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, and the presence of amenities like shops and parks. Once you've identified your preferred areas, start your search for available properties. You can do this through various online real estate platforms such as realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, or rent.com.au. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, number of bedrooms, and price range. You can also engage the services of a real estate agent who can help you find properties that match your criteria. They can also assist you with the application process once you've found a property you like. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing with the landlord or real estate agent. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and ask any questions you may have. If you're happy with the property, you'll need to submit an application. This usually involves providing references, proof of income, and identification. If your application is successful, you'll then sign a lease agreement and pay a bond, which is typically equivalent to one month's rent. Finally, before moving in, it's a good idea to take photos of the property to document its condition. This can help protect you from being unfairly charged for damages that were present before you moved in," said one person in Geelong.
