Housing in Taiwan

Apartments in Taiwan are generally spacious and relatively CHEAP! If you've taught English in Korea or Japan you'll be amazed. If you're a first timer, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

In many cases schools in Taiwan don't provide housing with your teaching job but they do provide assistance for you to find housing. This assistance is extremely helpful when trying to negotiate leases and find a location you're comfy with.

Apartment hunting in Taiwan can be a mind-boggling challenge BUT with a little luck and a lot of patience, you may hit the jackpot and your housing is going to be your oasis, your respite, your place to escape to noise, the smells, the sensory overload; you get the point.

Living standards in Taiwan are not quite the same as in the West but rest-assured it can be pretty comfy. Find a nice place. Get comfortable and you'll get more out of your teaching experience in Taiwan.

The cost of an apartment in Taiwan varies from city to city. In all cases, apartments in Taiwan are much cheaper than one might expect. As a note a cheap hostel will cost about NT$6,000/month.

Teacher Reviews

Danielle Bowes

Danielle Bowes “Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
