Find your next rental home in Ørestad
Ørestad is one of Copenhagen's youngest districts, located in the western part of Amager, and most of the buildings are only a few decades old. When you move into a rental home in Ørestad, you get newer housing, the metro nearby and a large protected natural area right outside your door.
High-rise buildings at the edge of the open landscape
Ørestad is shaped like a long, narrow strip with the metro on one side and Ørestads Boulevard on the other. The master plan concentrated development in dense, high-rise neighbourhoods that contrast with the flat landscape around them. The metro runs on an elevated track through the district, while the Øresund railway and motorway provide direct connections to the rest of Zealand and onwards to Sweden.
To the north are the University of Copenhagen's South Campus and the IT University of Copenhagen, while a large shopping centre brings the shops together in the middle of the district, and Royal Arena is located further south. The district is also known for award-winning residential architecture. Among the developments are 8Tallet, where a kilometre-long path winds its way around the building, and VM Bjerget, where the apartments rise in steps above a car park so that each home has its own terrace garden.
The biggest attraction, however, is the natural surroundings. Kalvebod Fælled covers around 20 square kilometres, and north of it lies Amager Fælled with paths, roe deer and an area facing Ørestads Boulevard where dogs are allowed to run freely.
Types of rental homes in Ørestad
The housing stock consists mainly of modern apartment buildings from the past few decades. The district was planned with a mix of owner-occupied, cooperative and rental homes, and the rental properties range from student housing to larger family apartments. Some developments combine conventional apartments with townhouses and penthouses, and depending on the floor and location, you may have a balcony or terrace overlooking the open landscape.
