Rental prices are very high, and vacant apartments very few. It is especially challenging for larger families to find suitable flats.

Large surfaces are available but most of them have a layout that offers only one, at most two bedrooms.

The modern flats, situated mostly around Alexanderplatz are the most accessible in terms of prices and the most popular with graduate students.
