Expat Housing Guide: Moving to Copenhagen

Copenhagen's housing market is notoriously competitive and expensive, with demand consistently outpacing supply. Prices have been steadily increasing over the past decade, with occasional plateaus but no significant decreases. The city offers a mix of historic apartment buildings (especially in the city center), modern developments, and townhouses. Many buildings feature the distinctive Scandinavian architectural style with clean lines and functional design. The market is increasingly international, with a significant portion of properties marketed to both locals and expatriates. The rental market is particularly tight, with properties in desirable areas often receiving multiple applications within hours of listing.
