HOUSING IN SLOVENIA
General
According to the 2002 census, there were 777,772 dwelling units within 463,029 buildings. About 80% of residential buildings were detached houses. About 94,635 dwellings had been built since 1991. About 52% of all dwellings were in urban areas. The average household had 2.8 people.
Since the 1991 Housing Act, the State is no longer directly responsible for housing provisions. Municipalities have responsibility for social housing projects. The State does, however, offer subsidised loans for the constuction of individual private homes and non-profit rental housing.
Expatriate areas
Popular area for the expatriate community is the city Ljubljana.
Housing
You can expect relatively high standards from properties in Slovenia. Middle-class properties are generally spacious, well built, and maintained to a high level. Most expatriates rent their apartment or house; some buy their homes. Both options are available but mainly depend on your company policy, income, and the length of your stay.
Cost of housing
Varies from area to area and the size of the house or apartment you'll pay anything from from Euro 1500 to Euro 2500 for an apartment and to Euro 3000 and higher for freestanding homes. The local currency is Euro (EUR). |
