Yeah I pay 700€ for a nice 2 person flat in Berlin, and groceries + all fixed costs come out to around 500€. SE salaries here are largely relatively low (entry between 40-50k), but you can still have a very relaxed life here in the sector.
- basisword 5y agoIs that €700 total flat cost or your 50% share of €1400 total?
- f6v 5y agoIt's possible to pay 700 if you signed a contract 5 years ago and the rent was raised by a moderate amount every year. 800-900 should still be doable though.
- bakuninsbart 5y agoTotal, including internet and the likes. The flat has some issues though like really old electricity and small hot water tank. The building is 130 years old and I suspect there are mice living in the walls somewhere. The contract is from last year, and it is only slightly below the average rent for my area (Neukölln). Even the most-wanted areas still have plenty of openings like this, but they are usually not posted on the open market, you need to have a network of people to recommend you.
