ACCOMMODATION:

The cost of a house or apartment varies greatly depending on which city you live in and, of course, the type of accommodation you choose. In the bigger cities, the rent for a downtown apartment usually runs anywhere between $500 and $1,800, but that price drops considerably if you're willing to (which could be a good way to meet people in your new city!).

House prices also range greatly from city to city.
If you want more specific information go to your
new city and select the Real Estate Category.
