Where should I live in Akureyri?

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 Akureyri, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a larger house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Nestpick, Rent in Iceland, and HousingAnywhere offer listings for apartments and houses in Akureyri. You can filter these listings based on your preferences for price, size, location, and other factors. Another good resource is local real estate agencies. Companies like Eign.is and Leiga.is have listings for properties in Akureyri and other parts of Iceland. They can also provide assistance with the rental process, which can be particularly helpful if you're not familiar with Icelandic laws and regulations. Social media can also be a useful tool in your search. There are several Facebook groups dedicated to housing in Iceland, where people often post listings for rentals. Once you've found a few potential options, you should arrange to view the properties in person. This will give you a better sense of the space and the neighborhood, and it will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the property. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a lease. Make sure to read the lease carefully and understand all the terms before signing. If you're not comfortable with the language of the lease, consider hiring a translator or a lawyer to help you understand it. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's important to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," said one expat in Akureyri.
