What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Czech Rep?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Czech Rep is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Czechia tend to be modern and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and open spaces. Many apartments come with balconies or terraces, and some even have access to a garden. Expat homes and apartments are usually well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, such as washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioning. Furnishings tend to be modern and stylish, and many apartments come with a fully-equipped kitchen. Expat homes and apartments in Czechia are typically located in the city center, close to public transportation, shops, and restaurants," remarked another expat in Czech Rep.
"Many expats like centrally located apartments in neighbourhoods like Prague 1 & 2. These historic areas offer easy access to sights, restaurants, and a lively atmosphere. Expect apartments to be smaller, usually up to 100 m2 / 2 bedrooms, but there are some larger apartments too. Period features like high ceilings, ornate mouldings, and hardwood floors add a touch of Prague's magic. Families with children often seek larger apartments or houses in quieter districts like Prague 4, 5, or 6. These areas offer more green space, parks, and backyards. Proximity to international schools is a big factor for families choosing a neighbourhood. Most international schools are in Prague 4 & 6. For those seeking a contemporary lifestyle, newer apartment buildings offer modern amenities like gyms, rooftop terraces, and underground parking. These are often located on the city's outskirts but usually have good public transportation connections," wrote Irena Economou from Urban Address Prague.
