Housing options vary by area: central towns offer convenience, while rural pockets deliver space and a slower tempo. For nomads and expats, planning longer stays around neighborhoods with good transit and amenities often yields the best balance between comfort and cost. Seasonal demand can shift some dynamics, but local markets and community resources help you stretch a budget. Tip: map a couple of neighborhoods and test commuting times before committing to a longer stay.
