"The cost of living in Kopavogur is considered to be high compared to many other countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite expensive, while outside the city center, it is slightly less costly. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also high. Groceries in Kopavogur are expensive as well, with items such as bread, milk, and eggs costing more than in many other countries. Eating out at restaurants can also be costly, especially at mid-range to high-end establishments. Transportation costs in Kopavogur can add up, with gasoline prices being high and public transportation tickets also costing a significant amount. Owning and maintaining a car can be quite expensive due to high vehicle taxes and insurance costs. Healthcare in Iceland is of high quality, but it comes at a high cost. However, residents are covered by a universal healthcare system, which significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses. Overall, while salaries in Kopavogur are generally high, the high cost of living can offset these earnings. Despite this, many residents feel that the high quality of life, safety, and natural beauty of the area make the high cost of living worthwhile," commented one expat who made the move to Kopavogur, Iceland.
