My Apartment in Berlin Germany | What's Typical Renting in Berlin?

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.

    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 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

    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 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.

  • @ExpatCaptures

    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?

    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.
