Bangui - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?

Housing is contained in an enclave of two-story townhomes, across from the Bangui river and next to another set of housing belonging to the UN mission there. Commute to the embassy is not more than 5-10 mins, and at the time of my assignment was in an armored van. However, I was also able to take motorpool from home and it's a great alternative when you don't want to be in a school bus setting. - Jun 2018


The new housing compound is nice. Two-bedroom two-story town homes. Everyone has the same type of housing. Access to the pool and gym at the Rock Club across the street. - Oct 2017


Expat quality housing can be quite expensive and rare. Even the best properties will have deficiencies. That said, nothing is really that far from anything else and there's no distinct expat neighborhood. - Jan 2012
