Living in Berlin

The most affordable major capital in Western Europe, with a massive international community and a creative, countercultural energy that's hard to find elsewhere. Rent is still reasonable by European standards, public transit is excellent, and you won't need a car. The catch: bureaucracy is legendary, finding an apartment is a full-time job, and while many Berliners speak English, long-term integration requires committing to German.

Bread that ruins all other bread forever, bike commutes along tree-lined canals, and a culture that perfects efficiency Monday through Friday then completely surrenders to beer gardens on the weekend.

Next steps for moving to Germany

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
