How do I find a place to live in Broome?

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

"Finding a place to live in Broome involves several steps. Firstly, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and make your search more efficient. Next, you should decide on the type of accommodation you want. Broome offers a variety of options, including apartments, houses, and shared accommodations. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Broome, such as realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, and rent.com.au. These websites allow you to filter your search based on your preferences, such as location, price, and type of property. In addition to online platforms, you can also contact local real estate agents in Broome. They can provide you with valuable insights about the local market and help you find a place that suits your needs. Visiting the properties is an important step. This will give you a better idea of the property's condition, its proximity to amenities, and the neighborhood. Once you've found a place you like, you'll need to apply for it. This usually involves filling out an application form and providing references. If your application is approved, you'll then need to sign a lease agreement. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms before signing. Finally, before moving in, you'll likely need to pay a bond (usually equivalent to four weeks' rent) and the first month's rent in advance. Remember, finding the right place can take time, so it's important to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," said one person in Broome.
