My Apartment in Berlin Germany | What's Typical Renting in Berlin?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2021
- Hi peeps! Welcome to my new Berlin apartment in Germany! I wanted to avoid talking about the smaller details like the style and furniture of the apartment like some videos do and focus more on what apartments generally look and feel like in Germany.
Of course, this one's been renovated, but here's a video of what you'll probably get renting in Berlin at around €1000 per month. Whether you're looking to gauge the Berlin living cost or are just interested in watching an apartment tour in Berlin Germany, I'm humbled to be able to share with you what I'll call my home for the next years.

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions...........
I used to live on the economy (I was single Military) in a German Apartment (I was the only American in the building) and loved it. My landlord and wife were very nice to me and I just loved living there. My apartment was almost the same as yours and it is very true about making a lot of noise as you come in the front door. That was the first thing they told me when I went to look at the apartment. I lived at my apartment for 4 yrs and had the best time of my life living there ( city I lived in was Fulda). Funny thing is, that when they found out where I was original from (Hawai'i), they were so talkative and aske me all kinds of questions about Hawai'i. I even used to grill out and cooked a lot of foods from home and they just loved it. Hope you enjoy your time there, I know I kinda miss it myself...lol. Much Aloha 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
That's amazing. Yes, Germans are extremely nice and friendly most of the time! :) Thanks for sharing this!!!
I was in the Air Force stationed in Bremerhaven
Usually the door with the glass cut is in the living room... Try to swap them and you're golden!
Yeh totally considering it 😀
Word! I was just going to write the same!
I literally was going to say this exact thing!
yeah I think someone switched the doors at one point.
That place is huge. That main room with all those windows and balcony. Very nice.
Thanks mate- yes the main room is absolutely lovely since it’s in the corner of the entire building!
50 m² is huge? are you serious?
Wow, 750 for this! That's a steal for Berlin, especially Mitte. Very nice space. It would say good luck.
Btw: about the "Zentralheizung". I don't think it's free energy. Because it's a shared system, one you share with all the apartments in the building and in the end you pay are shared fee in the "warmmiete". 🙈
Thanks so much Arno!! But as far as I understand, the ‘shared fee’ is only for other services like heating outside in the foyer, rubbish removal, elevator maintenance, cleaning, etc., not the heating that you have control of in the apartment. That would be extremely unfair to a single person having to pay for heating in complex with another apartment holding four people.
@@ExpatCaptures My bad, didn't have a proper look. On the radiators are these heat allocator, these for calculate the useage/consumption. Well good luck and hope we don't need the heathing anymore with better weather coming up.
Can’t wait for the better weather!!!
@@ExpatCaptures Actually if you have a regular rental contract and not subleting that's kinda how it works. The warmmiete includes an estimated amount of money that will be used for heating based on what the tentant bevor you used to pay. When you get you "Nebenkostenabrechnung" that is when it will be "really" calculated the first time. The amount they will charge you for heating is made up of 50% your own consumption and 50% of what all tenants have used, broken down to one part for each tentant based on the square meters of your flat. After your first "Nebenkostenabrechnung" they will look at what amount of money you have paid with the rent already and if its to much or not enough you will need to pay / get the difference and you monthly rent will go up or down accordingly. So with centralheating "free" means you don't need to pay money in addition to your rent, since it is included in your "warm Miete" but you are still paying for it in the end.
@@ninajurgens735 Yes the split in the heating cost is needed to compensate for good and bad apartments. An inner apartment needs much less heat than one on the outer side with 3 outer walls. The people on the upper floors get free heat from the apartments below too. The heating donated in the not insulated pipes would just get split between all tenets.
The glass door is normally on the living room door to allow some light into the hall/entryway which has no windows of its own. I think they got swapped. Very nice apartment.
Yeh I think so. Cheers!
Great Apartment Tour. Congratulations on your new appartment.
Wow! It looks very nice and spacious! Great job on finding such a nice place!))) And thank you for the tour.
And thanks for the lovely comment Anna! :)
@@ExpatCaptures u r too cute
Love to see an update on how your apartment looks now!
Thanks Ptatyusha! I will try!
"we have to be quiet here, because people in Germany don't like noise" hahahahaha
You know it ;)
@@ExpatCaptures :D :D
I call that bs. They have to be quiet because of the poor soundproofing of their buildings which is not very different from Canada
I mean, it's hard to sound proof an apartment foyer that has stairs all the way to the fifth floor in any country.
@@bicycles-as-far-as-im-aliv5725 is that a thing in Germany also? I live in Belgium and the sound proofing is HORRIBLE. I’m from Brazil and over there we have very good sound proofing in apartments...
İt was such a great presantation, thank you. And the apartment is so cosy.
This looks really good....would love see it again , once you have completed the setup
Thanks mate I will try soon!
Great video! I'd appreciate a follow-up video that describes how to find rentals in Berlin for people who are not from Germany!
There's usually not one commonly easy way to find apartments in Berlin unfortunately. But I could try to make something in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!!!
Omg i am in love with this apartment ❤️
I guess we have something in common!
Heating is often calculated by both size and consumption to equal parts as measured by that small device at the heater itself.
I loved the beginning with saying hello to the person in the window! xD
She sticks her head out quite often that one :)
I just love how you reply to ALL the comments. I just read all of them. I am happy to say that I found an amazing appartment and I am wondering if I should make a video with tips, sharing what I learned in the process.
Yes I try to! Congrats on the apartment, and yes, why not make a video about what you’ve learnt! :)
@@ExpatCaptures Thank you! And please come to my apartment for a video tour of a furnished apartment. :)
Wow good for you! This is so worth it for Berlin!
Thank you!
Wow, da hast du aber Glück gehabt, für so eine Wohnung in der Lage so wenig Miete, Chapeau
Ja danke sehr :) da hast du Recht. Der Lage ist absolut schön!
Hallo from Israel, it's so nice to watch your channel, Usually we only watch two channels regularly, and one of them is yours ...
the guidance and the atmosphere of the presentation is pleasant, and it makes us want to come visit...
We would be happy if you could update about the entry options for tourists and the processes required , assuming come from a country where there is almost no covid-19
keep it up, thank you very much
Free Palestine
I just love your apartment mate. It's too awesome at this price point. I'm moving to Berlin for my masters next year I hope I'll get a good apartment at great price 😉
Good luck mate. It’s definitely tough to find one here that speaks to you. Keep in touch and reach out once you’re here, happy to provide any support I can!
Applying to private landlords with a personal message helps building trust instantly
@@docdespair782 hello...what if we r university student from abroad and have learnt german ? what are the chances ? because me and my friend dont like to stay in shared apartments. any websites that might help us out with this accomodation thing?
Would love to see an updated fully furnished tour - nice apartment
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Leland Jermaine It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Kyng Adrian You are welcome =)
Thanks Leland you big tool.
I'd love to see updates...
"this space is 30sqm"
that's at least twice the size of my place
*cries in London*
And I'm paying more for it...
Haha, but it’s London! London is truly amazing. ✊🏼
in london you probably earn more and pay certainly much less taxes
@@keepitraw1 it depends on the field in which you're working in. The finance sector will for sure provide you better opportunities, but not other sector's though.
We have rather equivalent tax percentages but not for the same portion of salary however
@@keepitraw1 real estate prices has jumped in the last 10 years and salaries haven't increased as much
That is so freaking huge and cheap. I’m in shock hahah a lot of my friends are looking for apartments right now and it’s hopeless
Yeh we got lucky. Hope your friends find one soon!
It's really nice, but not a typical Berliner apartment. Under a typical Berliner apartment, I would expect an Altbau building. Greetings from Berlin ;D
Yeh you’re right. But many other styles are getting more common nowadays. Greetings! :)
lol I live in the same street and the woman you said hi to: I dont know her but she's always at her windwo and I basically do the same almost everyday hahaha
I love the fact that it's very quiet in the building
I do hear yelling sometimes when party people walk by at night. But it's quite faint. 😊
2:31 did he really say the Peephole is to see who's robbing you. LOL
Totally what it’s for ;)
avery nice home. enjoy learning about opening door and window. also quick look at elevator.
Thank you!
Stunning apartment. Danke
Thanks for dropping by!!
You are so polite. Thanks for making price related videos. And surely this flat is much than the rent price.
Thanks mate, you’re not wrong about the price!
Thank you for the video!
You are very very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Nice place! Would love to see an update!
I will try soon!
I really like your hoodie :)
Lol thanks 🥹
Hey! Great apartment tour! Which camera do you film with? The image quality is amazing!
Hi Anaita :) thank you so much. I use a Canon M50 currently.
very nice apartment at a very good price I would say! Would you please share some tips for apartment searching in Berlin? Thanks!
Thanks Nofal - I would recommend to check private listings on platforms like Kleinanzeigen, as opposed to platforms like immoscout24.
I really like your videos and the touch of humor you put into the videos. I just realized that I wasn't a subscriber yet.
I was curious to know, if you don't mind me asking, if this is near Wedding. I hear that it is very affordable in that part rather than Moabit.
Thank you so much! And thanks for subscribing and supporting smaller creators like me 👊 I'm very grateful.
It's not Wedding but since it's where I live and for privacy's sake, I prefer to make it a little harder to find for the majority of viewers. If you've seen the walls and front door though, I suppose it's not that hard to find out, if you're familiar with the area 🙂
Though, you're right. Wedding is usually a very affordable neighbourhood compared to some other areas!
curtain over that bedroom door on the inside! actually that looks like a glass shower door very common in the US.
Thanks haha seriously considering it 😂
Hi! Thank you for creating this video, it was very well received! I was wondering what are your thoughts on renting prices around Kurfürstendamm and Nollendorfplatz and also what do you think about these places in Berlin?
Hi Marius, appreciate the nice comment! I think Kudamm and Nollendorfplatz are great locations, especially if you work around the western area of the city. Apartments there will most likely be more on the pricier side. If you really love that part of the city, then it might be worth the price! It’s probably not as self-sufficient as other places in the city, meaning if you want a selection of close-in-proximity supermarkets, pharmacies, local restaurants, markets, etc. things might be a little harder in comparison to districts like Prenzlauer Berg/Neukölln/Steglitz, etc., due to it naturally being more popular and somewhat more busy with tourists. Hope it helps?
Thank you very much, Ron! I visited Berlin two years ago and I fell in love with the western area of the city, especially Kudamm, Charlottenburg and Nollendorfplatz. Cant wait to come back and explore more areas from the east side. Until then, I will stick to watching your videos!
Hello Ron! Now in 2023 Im watching your very illustrative video. My son will be going to SRH and its new campus in Berlin- Neukolln. Based on your experience, which are would you recommend in terms of price, location, facilities and comfort for an 18 years old bachelor degree candidate? Thank you in advance.
Hey! You might have to do your own research here, as things change quite fast in Berlin and I'm also no longer in Germany at least for the medium future.
Very nice and huge, I wonder how you managed to find this place for only 750. I can't find anything that looks like your apartment for less than 1500 in Mitte.
Same here
The glass door is for the light 💡✨ it makes the place seem way more spacious and you can't really see through ;)
Haha I figured 😅 thanks for watching ❤️
@@ExpatCaptures very good 😄😁👍
Very good
Gracias por compartir este video saludos desde España 🇪🇸
Nice apartment. Just moved in to Berlin and temporarily living in Prenzlauer Berg. Looking for a beautiful nicely located apartment just as this one. Wish me luck:)
Good luck, it might be hard but you will eventually get one!
"The bedroom is 20sqm..." - that' the entire size of my apartment!!! 😔😔😔😔
Size doesn’t matter! Am I right?
wow you wouldnt even get the bedroom for that money in munich... great place!
Haha thanks! Yeh, Munich has other things to offer :)
Yes exactly i pay 1600 euros for 52 sqmts
Great video sir! New subscriber here :) Will be watching your future content.
Thanks so much Alex. Super grateful that you watched and subscribed (out of everything on YT!!!). 🙏
@@ExpatCaptures sure :) it’s exciting to see you all’s future adventures! Maybe I’ll be able to visit Germany one day and I can use these videos for ideas on where to go!
Will you be posting another video of your apartment in the future when you have completed furnishing and decorating it?
Maybs!
I have same door with glass in my Athenian apartment (bulid on the 1960s ). The apartment is amazing and good price, because it is huge and renovated. I hope the bills are included. The natural light is amazing too.Mitte is a good area, no? Im moving there on January!
Wow! And yes, Mitte is great :)
Nice flat - do you consider it expensive or cheap in terms of the central area? The green vine would look lovely on the divider - do it!!!
Thank you David. In my humble opinion, I consider it cheap for the location that I got. Yes, I really want a nice green living divider outside! Things are a bit harder to get nowadays due to COVID here though.
Where can I search for places like that to rent? Are there some good websites or is it better to search in person?
Congrats for the video!
Classifieds sites like eBay are a great place to look. :) Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for the video!
I have a question: on the radiator there is some device installed; what is it?
Hello there! The device is to track consumption of the heaters. Nowadays, these devices have this data automatically transmitted to a central communication device. Older apartments and houses sometimes have devices where a person still needs to come in to measure the usage every year.
Hello all.
I am going to move to Berlin next month. Because of work- will it help to find a flat with 2 rooms and price between 800-1100 eye?
Which area is this? I live in a not renovated one room apartment for the same price in Berlin.
Thank you such a great video, May I ask where you found this? I have been looking for a month now and all are horrible or expensive I saw, moving to Berlin in May, looking forward for guidance
Hi Sadhana, I used eBay Kleinanzeigen to find it. Good luck in your search!
@@ExpatCaptures looking forward to more of your videos,Ron
@Sadhana Sinha send me a DM on Instagram @arilinde.sapkota
This place is amazing. I’m looking to move to Berlin to pursue my master’s. Any tips on how i can find a long term lease in an apartment like yours?
Thank you Viona :) you can look at private listing sites like eBay Kleinanzeigen or join Facebook groups. There, you wouldn’t face the same level of competition as you probably would with apartment search platforms like immoscout.
Airbnb is renting long term too nowadays because of the lack of tourists. You can bargain half the price. Respond to private landlords (also on immoscout and immowelt etc) with a personal message.
Thank you 🌺
You are most welcome 🥰
Wooow so nice and cheap for Berlin!
Jass!!!
That elevator is so small though, would that be difficult when you order a large parcel or item for delivery?
Difficult for the couriers sometimes, yes I guess. Difficult for us to move large furniture in? 100%
Hi
Hope you are doing well!
Can you plz help me like which App is best to search flat in Berlin ?
Immoscout is a good place to start.
Can we have an updated video of your apartment please 😊
I still have to do a few things so I will try when it’s all done for sure. :) Thanks again
Very nice
Thank you Subrata! (apologies if that's just your username) 😅
Hey dude!
Which camera are you using?
Thanks!
Greetings from Berlin.
Greetings! Canon M50 for now.
Die Glastüren dienen dazu natürliches Licht auch in den Flur zu bringen , damit es nicht komplett dunkel am Tag ist wenn die Türen geschlossen sind
In houses its quite normal to have a laundry room
👍
Great video! How did you find the flat?
Thanks! This one was on Kleinanzeigen. Much less competition than apartment search sites.
Hello!!! I love your content!!!!!, My Girlfriend and I are willing to live there for 2 months this summer... what towns or suburban areas (just outside Berlin) would you choose to live in for two months (July and August) if you want a calm, and relaxing place with great transport to the city that gives you both the freedom to be in the natural outdoors and city centre without needing a car? Thanks 😊
Hey Cesar, if you want to stay outside a little, maybe Steglitz is a nice place to look. Good luck!
Where did you buy that small “table” for the wig router?
I think it was just from IKEA to be honest.
In my apartment in Germany the front door was semi frosted glass. I had to put curtains over it.
The front front? 😯
It's nice the price for Berlin is okay. When Tesla open their Factory a lot of people will moved in Berlin area
Tesla will definitely bring more people to Berlin!
@@ExpatCaptures and make the rent price more higher so keep it your flat
so is this whole apartment 1K? Im emigrating to Dusseldorf at the beginning of Jan, how much would a 1 bedroom apartment cost? similar style - any advice how to find accommodation / renting with other expats in early / late 20's?
Hi Haydn. Rent prices are city-dependent so I would advise you to look at rental platforms like ImmobilienScout24 and just see for yourself what is feasible.
Can you please tell me what this apt was listed as ? Cold - Warm ??? I hear so many sayings and was this listed as a one-bedroom - 2 room ??? Just to get an idea? Thanks
It's 1000 warm.
Sorry, if I am not mistaken, this place in whole is about 70 qm with renting price 750? I dont know if BerlinUM can be that cheap.
This is with Mietendeckel. The rent without mietendeckel would be 1050.
10:00 lol at 'prevacy'
Unless you’re American, it’s actually how you pronounce it. Surprised? :)
Nice tour!
On average, do most of the bathrooms have windows?
Do you have a video on: why it's tuff finding apts in Berlin?
-Edit- I found a video talking about that 😌.
Haha nice, not all bathrooms have windows, but many do! If they don’t have windows, they usually have integrated fans to prevent excess humidity.
@@ExpatCaptures cool, thank u!
the apartment is huge!! can you tell me how hot can I make my room with those heaters? I live in the tropics and I need my warmth.
The heaters can get extremely hot. Having even just one of those in the size of my living room will be more than enough to keep you warm (if they're working properly).
@@ExpatCaptures thanks , also is there a heating bill that depends on how long you have those heaters on?
@@amitavamozumder73 yes there is!
@@ExpatCaptures could you tell me some good websites where i can look for homes likes this?
Found this big flat in Mitte at 750 eur? Omg you won the lottery. I live in Berlin and looking for a flat now, and this is really not normal these days. Could you let me know if the price is under mietendeckel ? and if so, how much difference you need to pay?? To me, the biggest obstacle for flat hunting is Mietendeckel :(
It’s under the Mietendeckel. If not, would be around 1050.
@@ExpatCaptures still amazing price!!! Thank you for such a quick reply. With the fully renovated bathroom, EBK, and Balkon! I wish i can find one like yours soon. I would love to see the flat once it is ready. subscribed :)
Thank you so much :) Will try to make one in the near future!
My one-room Berlin apartment is EUR 450 for 20m². I've been looking for a new place for a year now but still didn't get anything. It's really frustrating because salaries are too low in Berlin compared to rent.
I feel you. Prices are getting much higher nowadays
I’m surprised salaries are low there considering that’s it’s the nation’s capital. In London 🇬🇧, salaries are high despite the cost of living are high and civil servants get paid a bit more for working in London.
@Anika Schütz, send me a DM in Instagram @arilinde.sapkota
What is the median salary In Berlin? I am hearing about high rental prices in Berlin but they seem very similar to ours in Bratislava Slovakia, but the median salary here is like 1100 eur. 😅
I think the average is around 2k per month.
Hi, I am also recently moved to Germany and wanted to know, from where you have bought the Bed and Wardrobe? And the approximate price please? Thanks in advance.
It's just from IKEA
@@ExpatCaptures Thank you! :)
Ist die Wohnung, jetzt wo der Mietendeckel nicht mehr greift, immer noch so günstig? Ernst gemeinte Frage. Wenn ja, Glückwunsch zur coolen Vermietung.
Ja. 1000 ist ohne Mietendeckel! Danke :)
It reminds me of my apartment.
You have a very comfortable apartment, is that in Neukölln?
This one is in Mitte. My old one was in Neukölln!
Was your kitchen already installed when you moved in?
Yes! It was there but had to get my own dishwasher and washing machine.
Why are the doorways so small in a number of these apartments that I’ve seen?
No idea. Could be one of the standard heights in Germany for some apartments. 🤷♂️
You forgot to show the domofon in the corridor placed on the wall; yes the glass door are in Poland also and this so bothersome at night; the full door are into the next room /living room; I remember in Berlin there are no screens on the windows and I do not know why? Are you close to the Zoo logische strasse?
Maybe houses have it but apartments don't, because it's not a requirement for apartment owners to get one as part of their investment.
Hi. I have moved to Berlin and I am looking for an apartment. I have just watched your room tour and I would like to ask what websites you can suggest to me for searching offers? I am using immonet and immobilienscout24.
Hi Ain. Welcome to Germany! I would suggest using private ad platforms like eBay Kleinanzeigen. Good luck on your search mate!
can you share which website did you use to geta rental apartment??
Just eBay Kleinanzeigen

I live in Prague where wages are 2-3 times lower, and I pay 850 EUR for the apartment much smaller than yours!
But Prague! :)
Those glass doors are for let in the daylight into the floor.
Yep I figured :)
through which company did you get your apartment? :)
It was a private listing!
how much is it monthly
I am looking for an apartment like this....any leads anyone?
Been searching on WG Gesucht with no luck soo far
I live in berlin and I can tell you that can’t be in the center mitte it can’t cost that little a room (one shared room with that balcony) will cost you more then 500 euros
It’s a little out of the center center, but still in the district ‘Mitte’.
It depends on who the landlord is. Publicly rented placed through "Wohnungsbaugesellschaften" and "Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften" are much cheaper than trough private landlords and investors. Also, it makes a huge difference whether the place is being rented furnished or not. To me this sounds reasonably prized for Berlin. It's more a matter of being lucky and actually finding and getting the place.
normal at least in Hessen is the washing machine in the basement, only in really new apartments you have it in the bathroom, which is common in the rest of Europe.
I think the storage area in the entrance is meant for shoes.
In Frankfurt Mitte, for an apartment that was recently renovated, on the 3d floor, with an elevator, you would most certainly pay more than 1000 euros.
Shoes! Never thought of that. Thank you!!
Where did u find it ?
eBay
It's crazy how much you pay for a two room apartment in Berlin. I live in a small town near Hanover.. got 5 rooms + 2 bathrooms for 490€ including things like water etc
Yep! Berlin’s rent prices are ridiculous
It's still cheaper than the Netherlands though!
@@ArilindeSapkotaSAHM And half as much as Munich and a third as much as London.
i live in helsinki and berlin rent prices make me cry from jealousy. i live in a 38 sq m apt with my partner and cat and we pay 990 euros. For 750 you can get a utility closet here
which part of mitte you live ? its wedding district?
Prefer to keep it moderately private but yes it's around there. :)
Man, how tall are you??? Normally German doors are at least 2 m high. For Mitte, it seems you really made a great catch there.
Thanks mate. It's a nice apartment for sure. And yeh I think the doors are cut lower than usual.
Do you pay this much each? Or is the 750 split between two people?
750 is the entire rent of the apartment. Hence, two people will split the cost. Hope it answers :)
@@ExpatCaptures ok, I’m moving to Berlin next year! You’ve got yourself a v. nice but affordable flat, it gives me hope for when I start looking :)
Wow super nice! Good luck Alivia! To be honest, searching for an apartment in Berlin is on the tougher side, but you'll be fine. Let me know if you'd like some tips when you get here!!
@@ExpatCaptures yeah I have heard that it’s super stressful 😅 thank you so much, will continue to support your channel and stay on board with the videos you post as they’re really helpful.
