- I recently moved to a bigger studio apartment here in Ximen, Taiwan. So let's take a look at these two apartments and use them as examples of what you might find while apartment hunting in Taipei!
The first room is priced at 13,000TWD while the second is priced at 17,000TWD (at least there is a kitchenette!). Although these prices might be considered steep to some the quality, cleanliness, and location of the rooms are above average at least in my experience. Let me know what you think and as always if you have any questions ask away! 謝謝～

As always I suggest those looking for apartments in Taiwan to check out 591 as well as the various Facebook groups relating to house hunting in Taiwan! 加油～
Re: wasp nest “we even have our own neighbors” 😆 love the optimism! Good stuff thanks for sharing.
The neighbors have since moved out! 😆
what happened to making videos so you can "practice your chinese"?
I still make videos in Chinese Haha I hope you are still studying as well! 😆
Wow! Your room looks like really cozy and nice place. I'm going to Taiwan in next week, so Thx for letting us information.
Thanks! I hope everything goes nice and smooth for you here! 加油～
Your new home looks awesome! Must be nice to have a sofa and a cute kitchen! 😀
The kitchen however small is a huge plus! 😆
Great video. For the $430 a month apartment how much would you have to pay up front in order to move in. Often places want a deposit and sometimes theres even a middle man/Agent involved which can up the cost
The majority of landlords I have seen in Taiwan request two months security deposit (Seems to be the norm). I know what you mean about those middleman fees! Those 1/2 month agent fees always annoyed me a little bit.
@@Travelingjoe Is it just 1/2 month. In China the agency fee was 1 month rent that you never get back because it goes to a separate agent/middleman. I hope and assume there are ways to avoid them. I dont have an endless bank account.
need ur help looking apt
I used to live in 西門町 I didn’t have a choice because it was a company house. But it was a terrible place to live. I feel they had no time after work to do anything until they transferred me to 天母. That area is much better
Definitely agree with you about Tianmu!
May I ask what is the name of your new apartment? I am looking for this type of apartment near train station and close to National Taiwan University
Well this one doesn’t really have a name it’s just a random building I found through an independent landlord. I would recommend posting on the Taipei room Facebook groups to find something close to NTU. There are lots of good ones you just gotta get a bit lucky! 加油
How do I get a place like this?
I actually found this place by posting on a Facebook group explaining who I was and what I was looking for (budget and what not). I think that would probably be the best way to get a few decent options. Oddly enough I just moved out of this home yesterday, so maybe it’s back on the market! Haha
This is crazy to me, where I'm from in the UK, I'm renting a TINY single room in a house sharing with three others and it's £402 a month (approx 16,179 ntd) and my rent is considered incredibly cheap!!! But to be in Taipei in a central area and being able to have your own place is mind boggling to me. Like, for less than what I pay now you at least get your own bathroom which I don't have here. And for a tiny bit more than my rent you have a fully functioning studio! I don't even live in a major city so to be able to get something like this in the capital is wild.
西門町，萬華Wan4hua2區qu1 is a good area!
