In season 94, episode 7 of House Hunters International, viewers are taken on a journey across the Atlantic as an American couple decides to trade the bustling streets of Washington, DC for the charming canals of the Netherlands.
The episode begins with the couple, Sarah and John, expressing their desire to move abroad and experience a new way of life. They are both in their early thirties and work in the tech industry, but are tired of the fast-paced lifestyle in the nation's capital. After researching different countries, they both fall in love with the Netherlands and all that it has to offer.
Their main objective is to find a spacious and modern apartment that is both affordable and centrally located. As they embark on their house-hunting journey, they quickly realize that the Dutch housing market is quite different from what they are used to back home. For instance, many apartments are located above shops, which isn't common in the United States.
Nonetheless, Sarah and John remain optimistic and open-minded as they view different properties. The first apartment they tour is located in the heart of Amsterdam and boasts high ceilings and large windows that provide plenty of natural light. They are impressed by the apartment's spaciousness but feel that the noise and crowds in the city center could be overwhelming.
Next, they visit a modern apartment in the city of Utrecht, which is approximately 25 minutes from Amsterdam. This apartment has a unique layout and offers stunning views of the city's skyline. Sarah and John are impressed by the apartment's proximity to the city center but are concerned about the cost of living in the area.
As they continue their search, they view several more properties in different cities, including The Hague and Rotterdam. While Sarah and John are drawn to the charming neighborhoods and unique architectural styles, they have trouble finding a property that checks off all of their boxes.
Eventually, they are presented with an apartment in the city of Haarlem, which is located just west of Amsterdam. This apartment has a spacious living room, large kitchen, and a modern bathroom - all at an affordable price point. The couple is impressed by the apartment's overall design and the fact that it's located in a quieter area.
After much deliberation, Sarah and John decide to make an offer on the Haarlem apartment and put down roots in the Netherlands. They are thrilled at the prospect of immersing themselves in Dutch culture and exploring all that the country has to offer.
Overall, season 94, episode 7 of House Hunters International offers viewers a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of house hunting abroad. With its stunning scenery, unique architecture, and friendly locals, the Netherlands proves to be a popular choice among those seeking a change of pace.
