Prague - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Apartments and houses. Families with school age children who go to ISP tend to live near school (residential area with family homes), lots of people live downtown in the apartments. Commute to work may vary depending on your location and time of day, some apartments are walking distance from the Embassy. However, those who live near ISP say the commute may take up to 40 minutes, especially during rush hour. - Jan 2026
Single family homes near the International School of Prague (ISP); apartments closer to the main city. Residences typically do not have a lot of extra storage, attic or basement. Plan accordingly. - Dec 2015
For the embassy community, housing is either large family homes by the international school or smaller inner-city apartments. Keep in mind that European housing has limited closets and storage. Don't bring more than you actually need. - Aug 2011
All kinds of housing is available. I had a great 2-story house (3 stories including the full basement) with a large garden in Mala Sarka about 100 meters from the International School of Prague. - Jan 2008
