Nordhavn in figures
Nordhavn is not one of Copenhagen Municipality’s ten official districts, but the northern, newly built part of the district of Østerbro. The one figure we can pin specifically on Nordhavn is the price per square metre, and it is the highest in the city.
- per m² for an owner-occupied flat, Q2 2025
- DKK 82,200
- for comparison: per m² in Indre By
- DKK 71,300
- its own postcode, separate from 2100 Copenhagen Ø
- 2150
Nordhavn has no district point of its own in Copenhagen Municipality’s housing statistics: the housing figures for all of Østerbro, which Nordhavn belongs to, are on Østerbro’s own page. The price per square metre above is the highest of any district or area in Copenhagen Municipality’s own figures.
Residence requirement: check the local plan for your building
Nordhavn is still being built out, and when a home gets a residence requirement depends on when the local plan for that specific development was adopted. If the local plan was adopted after 1 January 2021, the residence requirement applies already from the occupancy permit. If it is older, the standard rule applies instead: a residence requirement once the home is, or within five years has been, used as a year-round home.
One example is the local plan for Sundmolen Øst in Indre Nordhavn, which the Technical and Environmental Committee recommended for final adoption in November 2025; it allows up to 31,400 m² of new construction. The Sundmolen area itself, however, has an older local plan from 2015, which is before the 2021 cut-off. We always check the specific local plan for your address before advising on the residence requirement.

Airbnb in Nordhavn
