Where should I live in Hiroshima?
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 Hiroshima, 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 research different neighborhoods in Hiroshima to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas might be closer to work or school, while others might offer more recreational activities or a quieter environment. Once you've narrowed down your options, you can start looking for available properties. There are several online real estate portals that list properties for rent or sale in Hiroshima, such as SUUMO, Homes, and Athome. These websites allow you to filter your search based on various criteria, including location, price, size, and type of property. You can also visit real estate agencies in Hiroshima, where agents can assist you in finding a suitable place. They can provide you with information about the local real estate market, arrange viewings, and help you negotiate the terms of your lease or purchase agreement. When you've found a property you're interested in, you'll need to submit an application. This typically involves providing proof of income and a copy of your passport. If your application is approved, you'll then sign a lease or purchase agreement and make the necessary payments. Finally, before moving in, you should inspect the property to ensure it's in good condition. If there are any issues, you should report them to the landlord or real estate agent immediately. Remember, finding a place to live in Hiroshima, like in any other city, can take time and patience. But with careful planning and research, you can find a home that meets your needs and makes your stay in Hiroshima enjoyable," explained one expat living in Hiroshima, Japan.
