I should be moving to Valencia in January and would like to know where are the best places to live there? My work location will be in Paterna. What is the average cost of living, especially apartment (furnished) rental and having a car?

Appreciate very much your help.

I live in the area called Artes y Ciencias, its one of my favs. spots in Valencia. My apt. look out to the new opera house si the views are great. Prices are ok but you will need to look into what you like. The city center, malvarosa, and blasco ibanez are not too bad. Try http://www.idealista.com or www.loquo.com I went through an agent which is a rip off, I had to pay the agent 1 months rent. Well good luck!!
