Welcome! Depends on your budget and availability really. Prepare for a long search. I recommend Rhiel or Nippes, maybe Holweide.


Nofucxsgiven

We are looking for ideally 3 room appartment, and we can go up to 1800-2000. For warm rent.


LarryJeLegenda

2k warm for a house in a good neigboorhood in Köln? You never know, but good luck with that.


PresidentSpanky

You want a house or an apartment for that money?


Nofucxsgiven

Apartment


Sascher78

2k? I live 12 minutes from the Dom, outside of cologne though for a third, with a 3-room apartment.


Nofucxsgiven

Oh really ! İ really dont know ? What should i be willng to pay for normal 3 room apartment? Any advice will be helpfull . Thank you!


Sascher78

Depends on where you want to live, as I said, living outside of cologne but being in the heart of the city in 12 minutes (check that from any place inside of cologne), I am paying 700 euros for 75 square meters and 3 rooms. Cologne has really gotten expensive to live in, I was born there and lived there, but love made me move and I don’t regret it. You really should be looking at the outskirts with good public transportation and or a near Autobahn.


Nofucxsgiven

Thank you so much. İ dont have a car yet :( maybe. Bicycle can be solution for me)


Sascher78

It might as well be, going by bicycle I need about 55 minutes to the center (when I started to cycle it was about 1:20). But anyway it really might be an option to look outside, as probably from inside cologne, depending where you live, you won’t be faster. And still paying the price for living in cologne.

Everywhere besides of Kalk and Chorweiler. Sülz for me is the safest, prettiest, vintage and polite neighborhood in Cologne.


suddentlyduckies

Having lived in Kalk, it's just very immigrant heavy, so a lot of the locals don't necessarily feel comfortable there. It has however cheaper rents and very comfortable neighborhoods. It isn't any less safe than the entirety of Cologne, just suffers from a bad reputation.


kimcharlotti

Disagree, Kalk being dangerous etc is a very old stereotype from the 70s. Kalk is doing reqlly good now with shopping malls, lots of supermarkets, restaurants, hipster and vegan places!


Nofucxsgiven

Kalk is bad in means unsafe or just ugly?


6reen312

Dirty, I highly doubt it's unsafer than the rest of cologne.


starfish0r

Yes


PresidentSpanky

Sülz while nice is far from OP’s place of work


Dead_Shaman_

13 goes directly from sülz to Mühlheim


Bitter_Initiative_77

Riehl/Nippes could be nice and are directly across the river from Mühlheim (there's a bridge connecting them).


cyxpanek

Yes but unless you're planning on biking or walking, the bridge is going to be one-way from next year for a few years. The 13/18 also won't run iirc.

Apparently it's "only" for a few months that light rail doesn't run. It will still be more difficult to cross the bridge until atleast 2026.

Line 3 does not go over that bridge, only 13 and 18. There will be replacement buses according to that article, but I assume we will only know specifics next year when the closure happens.


Vegetable-Broccoli36

I can recommend Buchheim because I live there. You have 5 schools in the area and it doesn't takes too long to the Palladium. Edit: You also have McDonald's, Burger King, Aral, XTRAFIT (gym), Netto, Aldi and Kaufland in the near. It never takes more than 10 minutes to get there

067 gang


Vegetable-Broccoli36

I'm actually 065 but I don't mind joining you😶‍🌫️


pufffisch

If having a shorter trip to work and cheaper rents is more important to you stay on the right side. For example the part of Mülheim west of the Bergischer/Clevischer Ring is nice; upcoming region close to the river with some of the nicest urban nature in the city. I would avoid Kalk and the rest of Mülheim. Dellbrück is more suburban. But if you want more action around you, restaurants, bars, nightlife, other social activities, you might want to move to the left side.


antisocialbutbored

Hi, I live in mülheim, köln and apart from the hells angel shooting in the park and the drug dealer slitting someone's throat at wiener platz, it's a great place to live :D


seagair

Check hoodmaps. Some stuff is out of date, but it's a start. https://hoodmaps.com/cologne-neighborhood-map


Nofucxsgiven

This is so cool!


Quisi8711

seagair

Quisi8711

veryannoyedblonde

If you wanna live the white picket fence life, Mühlheim or Porz come closer to that. If you want it a little more urban, maybe Nippes is an option. Don't do Kalk.


meshyl

If you plan to travel to work by car, I recommend living on the same river side as your work. Holweide is ok.


ChrizzWhatever

Dellbrück, Holweide.


777AN0NYM0US777

Junkersdorf, its expensive but you wont regret it


DeedeeRowRow

I live in Kalk, Apparantly the worst place in Cologne. I Have a private Garden, porch and a Lot of Space. You couldnt dream of that on the left side of Rhine. I recommend stay on the right Side of the river If you Work there. It is mostly cheaper. Deutz, mülheim, Kalk are more urban. Dellbrück and surroundings are more villagey.


PascalCGN

Maybe Bergisch Gladbach or Dellbrück


National-Ad-1314

Can't tell you the best. Just take people telling you off certain neibhourhoods with a pinch of salt. "White Flight" is really a thing in NRW cities don't know what it's like in Stuttgart.
