Taiwan – Finding Property to Rent

Popular Rental Areas for Expats in Taiwan

Taiwan is a popular destination for expats, and there are several areas in the country that are particularly favored by foreigners. Here are a few examples of popular rental areas for expats in Taiwan:

  1. Taipei: Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan and is a hub for business, culture, and entertainment. Taipei is one of the most popular areas for expats in Taiwan, due to its diverse range of activities, well-developed infrastructure, and international community.

  2. New Taipei City: New Taipei City is a large city that surrounds Taipei and offers a more relaxed, suburban lifestyle. This area is popular with expats who want to be close to Taipei but also enjoy more space and greenery.

  3. Taichung: Taichung is a city located in central Taiwan and is known for its vibrant arts and cultural scene. This area is popular with expats who want to experience traditional Taiwanese culture while also enjoying modern amenities and a growing expat community.

Why they are popular with foreigners moving to Taiwan

Each of these areas is popular with expats for different reasons, but some of the common factors include:

  1. Proximity to Taipei: Taipei is a hub for business and culture, and many expats prefer to be close to the city in order to enjoy its many benefits. New Taipei City and Taichung offer the best of both worlds – proximity to Taipei combined with a more relaxed suburban lifestyle.

  2. International community: Taiwan is home to a growing expat community, and many of these foreigners are attracted to areas with a large international presence. Taipei, New Taipei City, and Taichung are all areas with thriving international communities, which can be especially appealing to expats who are looking to make new friends and connect with other foreigners.

  3. Modern amenities: These areas are well-developed, with good transportation links, shopping centers, and a range of other modern amenities. This makes them appealing to expats who are used to a certain level of comfort and convenience.

Writer and Editor Kirsten Raccuia is known for her Sand in My Curls blog, which until recently, was all about her expat life in Malaysia. We last spoke at the height of the global pandemic, when she and her husband were closing in on a decade in Penang. Fast-forward a couple of years, and they’re in a new country, Mexico. I’m chatting with Kirsten again to find out what factors influenced their decision to move, and why Mexico? And what it was like to close the Malaysia chapter of their life abroad.

A topic that comes up quite often in our Facebook groups is moving abroad with children. What’s the ideal age? Especially if they're going to need to learn a new language? What about the best time of year to move? And how do you make the assimilation process, from learning new cultural norms to making new friends, as smooth and enjoyable as possible? My guest today is someone who can speak from experience. Sharon Green is the founding editor of online publication SHE DEFINED. And in 1998, just before she turned 12, Sharon migrated with her family from Durban in South Africa to Melbourne in Australia. Sharon’s going to share her experience of being a third culture kid, and how it has shaped her sense of belonging as an adult.
