What is a typical expat home or apartment like in South Africa?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in South Africa is like. They answered...
"Single family home in a gated community. It is very typical for most expats. In fact, I have been told that the majority that live in there are expats. Bacause it is in a secured community, our child can walk and play in freely. But, there are too many walls with the community," said a member in Johannesburg, South Africa.
