Finding a place to live Finding a place to live is one of the first things that you need to do when you come to a new country. To find a home, you must decide how much space you need, how much you can pay and the part of town you want to live in. Homes are usually described by the number of bedrooms. Most have two, three etc. Most homes also have living room, a kitchen, one or more bathroom, maybe a dining room. How many bedrooms you're going to need depend on how many people are in your household.
