Rent, buy or build your dream home 

Get an overview of residential areas, rental, purchasing and construction opportunities and much more.

In Sonderborg Municipality, you can live near the city center with its vibrant life or in the idyllic countryside.

You pay considerably less for more square meters in comparison to other cities in Denmark, and with 250 km of scenic coastline and grand nature it is your choice alone how you would like your living surroundings.

Obviously, we have any possible kind of accommodation available – from single-family houses, townhouses and condominiums to luxurious villas and architectonical pearls. You can also build your own dream home on one of the many beautifully located plots near sea and forest.

Residential areas

The Sonderborg area has a large stretch of coastline, which extends largely from Flensburg Fjord and Alssund to Lillebælt. Several towns and villages are located by the water or close by. Therefore, there is good opportunity to find housing with a view of the water – both in rural and urban areas. Nature, like the water, is always within reach.

Sonderborg is the main city, while the cities of Nordborg, Graasten, Broager and Augustenborg are minor cities. Additionally we have many small villages, which are mainly organized in active communities, where neighboring help and close cooperation are highly valued.

Rent accommodation 

In Sonderborg Municipality we have a wide selection of housing associations (boligforeninger), who facilitate rental accommodation. Employed newcomers are usually placed on a separate waiting list, which means that they are moved further up the waiting list and offered accommodation faster.

In Sonderborg city you will typically be offered an apartment, while you might be lucky to be offered a townhouse with a private garden in the suburbs or the smaller cities.

Please take notice that you can only receive one offer from each association. If you do not accept the offered accommodation, you will be moved to the regular waiting list at the relevant association.

If you are an employed newcomer or commuter, you can contact the housing associations below to get on a separate waiting list for a rental home.
