What advice to expats in Alicante have about housing?

"Expats in Alicante advise that it's important to research the different neighborhoods in the city to find one that suits your lifestyle and budget. They recommend visiting Alicante in person before making a decision, as pictures can often be misleading. It's also suggested to hire a local real estate agent who can help navigate the housing market and negotiate prices. Expats also advise to be aware of additional costs such as utility bills, community fees, and property taxes. They also suggest considering the proximity to amenities like schools, supermarkets, and public transportation. Lastly, they recommend learning some basic Spanish or having a translator to help with the rental or purchase process, as not all landlords or real estate agents may speak English," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Alicante, Spain.
