How do I find a place to live in Cambridge?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Cambridge is to use online resources such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and Gumtree. These websites allow you to search for properties in the area and filter your results based on your preferences. Additionally, you can contact local estate agents who can help you find a suitable property. You can also look for rental properties in the local newspapers or on notice boards in the area. Finally, you can ask friends and family if they know of any available properties," said one expat who made the move to Cambridge.
