Different types of housing in Esbjerg
You’ve just received your acceptance letter in your e-Boks, and of course, you got in! The butterflies are fluttering in your stomach because a new chapter is about to begin very soon. But suddenly you remember that before you can fully enjoy the excitement, all the practical details need to fall into place – like finding somewhere to live! But don’t worry, we’ve made it easy for you. So let’s start with what housing options you have in Esbjerg.
Here you can find available student housing in Esbjerg.
All student housing in Esbjerg is rented out through Boligzonen. It’s a website where you can get an overview of all available student housing. The dorm rooms and youth apartments are priced between approximately 2,700 – 6,000 DKK depending on whether they come with a shared bathroom and/or kitchen.
You can also check out these websites for student housing:
Housing association
A dormitory or student housing with a limited rental period may not be suitable for everyone – and it certainly doesn’t determine whether you’ll have a good study experience in Esbjerg or not. If you prefer something more permanent, where you either don’t have to share with others or there are no limited rental periods, there are housing associations in Esbjerg that you can sign up for. Here, you will be offered housing as soon as something becomes available and it’s your turn on the waiting list.
You can find a comprehensive overview of housing associations in Esbjerg on Esbjerg.dk. You can go through them one by one and simultaneously sign up for the housing options that are relevant to you.

Private rental
If the waiting time is too long with the housing associations and you’re eager for your very own apartment, you can also rent privately. The options here are just as good as through housing associations, and there’s a selection ranging from small one-room apartments to shared apartments, which are perfect for those who want to share their study time with a friend, partner, or roommate. Private rental allows you to find a place that perfectly suits your preferences and needs, and landlords can often be more flexible with rules and terms.

How do you search for student housing in Esbjerg?
No matter whether you’re looking for student housing or apartment through a housing association, it’s crucial to check out each website and read about their specific application process.
But the process is fairly straightforward. In most cases, you simply sign up on the website, and then you have the opportunity to apply for the accommodations you desire. Here, you typically have the option to search for specific properties, allowing you to influence factors such as rent, location, number of rooms, and more.
When a property becomes available for you, you’ll receive an email notification, which will also outline how to accept the accommodation and what the next steps are.
If you’re searching for apartments through private landlords and websites like BoligPortal, it’s often a first-come, first-served basis, as there are no waiting lists as there often are for renting student accommodations through housing associations. So, if you find a private property you’re interested in, simply contact the owner via SMS, email, or a phone call.
Economic Considerations
It is important that you take your own economic considerations into account before finding your student accommodation in Esbjerg.
As previously mentioned, all practical matters need to be in order before your new adventure with new studies and your very own apartment can really begin. Therefore, we cannot avoid the perhaps slightly tedious topic: Economic considerations.
Even though it would be wonderfully simple if such matters didn’t need to be addressed and you could just move, that is unfortunately not the reality. Therefore, here is a small guide to some considerations you should make before you move.
Monthly Rent
The monthly rent will likely be your largest expense when you move into an apartment. It is important to have a realistic budget and to choose a place where the rent fits your financial situation, such as your student grant (SU) or income from a part-time job. Make sure to include all fixed expenses such as electricity, water, heating, internet, and any other monthly expenses you have. This way, you will have a clear overview of your financial commitments and how much is left over for enjoyable experiences with your new classmates.
