Drive around or phone up a real estate agent who would be more than happy to help.

I prefer my housing to provide air cond and a private toilet. Lillian is right in that houses are relatively inexpensive. You do as a foreigner have the option to purchase a condo should you desire, but you cannot legally purchase a home unless you opt to setup a company, and have the company own the house - that loophole however could be closed at anytime.
