Generally, in Andorra, finding accommodation to rent or buy is not difficult due to the very few number of country inhabitants and the many offers available.

However, one thing to take into consideration is that, as an unusual case, Andorra's cheapest accommodations are located in the city centre (flats/buildings), while high quality and most expensive ones can be found at the outskirts (houses), surrounded by nature, close to the ski fields and with private gardens.

Consequently, property prices and rents in Andorra vary considerably depending on the area and city. For example, you can rent a flat in Andorra la Vella, its capital, for 450€ a month, but a house in Escaldes or La Masana will cost you a minimum of 800€ a month.

The best way to start is to have a look at the newspapers, advertisements in shops, college notice boards etc. Moreover, accommodation or letting agencies are companies that will help you find private rented accommodation.

Notice that they may charge you a fee once you have found what you are looking for (usually the equivalent of a monthly rent).

Prepare for your Housing Search in Andorra

Despite the big amount of accommodation possibilities offered in Andorra, finding a place to stay can sometimes take time. Before starting your search, there are several aspects you should take into consideration:

• Do you prefer to rent or buy?
• Do you prefer to travel to Andorra for house hunting? Or stay in a hostel or a short-term rental to be able to take more time finding a suitable place?
• Would you like to live in the city centre (higher prices) or are you ok to find a place in one of the suburbs and commute everyday?
• In terms of rooms and square meters, what is your wished size?
• When buying it, would you accept a cheaper flat to modernize it afterwards? Or you prefer a newly renovated place?
