Copenhagen, Denmark
How do I find a place to live in Copenhagen?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We needed to rent a furnished apartment or home. That narrowed down our search to only one decently sized townhouse (rakehaus). In hindsight I wished that we had just sucked it up and purchased Ikea furniture to open up our choices. The townhouse was ok but I kicked myself for not listening to my gut instinct that one main bathroom for a family of four just wouldn't work for us. It didn't. And it was a supreme source of frustration because that one bathroom had a shower leak that the owner refused to fix until we moved out and charged us for the repair and cleaning of all the lime buildup. That's common in Denmark -- the owners of rentals will charge you for fixing things they should have fixed while you lived there," remarked another expat who made the move to Copenhagen, Denmark.
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Copenhagen is to use online resources such as Airbnb, HomeAway, and other rental websites. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on local classifieds websites such as DBA and BoligPortal.dk. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in the area. Additionally, you can look for postings on bulletin boards in local cafes, libraries, and other public places. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in the area for recommendations," explained one expat living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
