Rental Prices in This European City Similar to Zagreb, Residents Say 'Life is Worth Living'

Rental prices in Graz, Austria, are reportedly on par with those in Zagreb, Croatia, according to a resident who recently visited the Austrian city. The visitor found Graz to be beautiful and well-developed, prompting him to inquire about job prospects and the general quality of life for individuals with below-average incomes and who are currently renting in Zagreb.

There are enough jobs and life is worthy of living.

One Graz resident, who has lived there since 2013, responded positively, stating that there are sufficient job opportunities and that life is "worthy of living." Another individual, who moved to Graz for studies eight years ago, noted that while prices are slightly higher than in Zagreb (perhaps 20% more, depending on the location), the city's size of 300,000 to 320,000 people is ideal. He added that cycling is a popular and convenient mode of transport, allowing easy access throughout the city.

You literally have nothing to lose, it can only get better.

For those starting with below-average earnings and paying rent, the prospect of moving to Graz is seen as having "literally nothing to lose." One commenter specifically recommended the 8010 postal code area, describing it as pleasant and livable, while labeling the 8020 area as a "ghetto." The 8010 postal code covers the eastern bank of the Mur River, while 8020 is on the western bank.
