Finding a place to live

After the jet jet lag has worn off,  you can then decide whether you want to  buy your own home or rent a house or flat   while you decide where you want to live.

Where you choose to live will depend on your needs.  If you have a young family you may want to be near a school as most schools have home zones.  There are also a choice of apartments, flats and city dwellings for those who want to live near their place of work at the CBD.

The Press newspaper advertises many homes for sale and for rent on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Real estate offices and property management offices also have lots of property listings and can help you find what you are looking for.
