Housing in Raw New Yorker Style in Nordhavn

Do you dream of a home in a raw and modern New Yorker style? In Nordhavn, you will find homes that fulfill this desire. Here, there are 2-, 3-, and 4-room family apartments as well as youth apartments, totaling 95 family apartments and 12 youth apartments. However, the waiting time to get your hands on one of these attractive homes is often more than 12 months.

The apartments offer their own entrance either via a rooftop terrace, a balcony facing the courtyard environment, or directly from a stairwell. Windows and balconies are placed differently from floor to floor, giving each apartment its unique charm. Inside, the apartments have an authentic New Yorker style with unpainted concrete walls, white-painted ceilings, light parquet floors, and visible ventilation ducts. The concrete walls may vary in color and surface, and in some places, visible joints and repairs can be seen. As a tenant, you have the option to paint the walls white, which many choose to do.

It is important for potential tenants to inspect the rental unit before moving in, as the industrial finish may vary. The apartments do not include major appliances, except for an installed extractor hood, but there is the option to bring and install your own washing machine.

For animal lovers, it is allowed to have small pets such as birds, fish, and guinea pigs. You can also have a dog of an allowed breed or an indoor cat, but this requires permission from the Service Center Copenhagen. However, it is important to note that pets are not allowed to stay permanently on the balcony, and dogs must be walked outside the department's areas.

Residents can enjoy shared facilities such as three south-facing rooftop terraces with views over the neighborhood and the water, a cozy courtyard environment, and access to the kindergarten's playground outside of the institution's opening hours. There is also a common room on the ground floor with a kitchenette.

The Aarhusgadekvarteret, where the apartments are located, is close to Inner Copenhagen and Copenhagen Harbor, providing opportunities for both city life and bathing experiences. Public transport is easily accessible with 24/7 S-train service from Nordhavn Station, connecting to Østerport and the rest of the city. Additionally, Orienten is only a 5-minute walk from both Nordhavn and Orientkaj Metro Station.

With a wealth of shopping options in the local area, including shops and supermarkets on Nordre Frihavnsgade and Østerbrogade, it is easy to manage daily life in this exciting and modern neighborhood.
