www.immobilienscout24.de is a good website to search for apartments.
I strongly encourage you to do this. Living cost in Leipzig are not very high. You certainly can rent a nice 2-room (one bedroom) apartment for about 200 Euro per month, plus about 100 Euro side costs. Depending on your living style you should be able to save a bit AND travel around. Leipzig is very centrally located and there are plenty of options for day trips first and weekend trips later.

Look over on Toytown for all kinds of info about living here. Its an English speaking website for those of us, expats, who live here in Germany

Thanks for both of the suggestions...the toytown forum has been super...i am getting lots of information and it has been very helpful/...the other website for the real estate has aslo been fun as it is re awakening the german language and the thoughts of apartment hunting...again thanks for the information...cheers from melbourne des
