Finding an apartment in Beirut can be very challenging. The real estate market is more tight that two years ago, which has caused prices to rise. Plus, the school term has started, given the proximity to AUB of the areas we want to live in, we get caught up in that cycle as well.
We were very fortunate to have friends in our old neighborhood who helped us out tremendously. We were ultimately able to find a lovely 2 bed room apartment in Ain El Mresseh with a lovely view of the Med. As a side bonus, it is very close to a little port that I hope to make use of with an as-yet-unpurchased boat. Now, it is time to turn my attentions to getting settled in to the apartment so that everything will be ready for the arrival of the rest of the family.
