Find your next rental home in Sluseholmen
Sluseholmen is a canal district in Sydhavnen, built on land that was previously used by the harbour and industry. The homes are grouped on artificial islands, with canals running close to the buildings. If you are looking for a rental home in Sluseholmen, you get an address where bridges, quays and steps down to the water are a natural part of the streetscape.
Canals, waterfront buildings and a harbour bath around the corner
The canal district is spread across eight residential islands separated by canals, and in several places, steps and quays take you right down to the water. Tall waterfront buildings facing the harbour stand side by side with lower and narrower canal houses, while the facades vary from building to building, giving the streets a diverse appearance. Inside the blocks are large courtyards with space for play and relaxation, and at the outer edge of the peninsula, the Metropolis residential development rises at the end of a pier.
The streets are named after American jazz musicians, so your new address could be Ben Websters Vej or Dexter Gordons Vej.
During the summer, you can take a swim in the harbour bath, where four coral-shaped pools provide space for both children and experienced swimmers. At the eastern quay are the colourful wooden sheds of a boat club, and the club's restaurant is open to everyone. The neighbourhood has its own metro station with a direct connection to Copenhagen Central Station, while Teglværksbroen takes you across to the neighbouring district of Teglholmen.

Types of rental homes in Sluseholmen
The canal district was developed as a mix of cooperative and owner-occupied homes, with the intention that all homes should have views of the water. Rental properties here may therefore include privately rented apartments in both canal houses and waterfront buildings. What the homes have in common is that they were built within the past few decades, and many of the buildings are located directly beside a canal.
