This town gives you the greenest surroundings for your money in the Copenhagen area
The environment is a widely debated topic – in politics and in the run-up to the general election, but also in private. Homebuyers have started to focus far more on the environment and on how green the area they are moving to is. With this in mind, Brikk has looked at where both new and existing homeowners get the greenest living for their money in Copenhagen and its suburbs.
We based this on a study by Greenmatch.dk, which looked at how environmentally friendly Danish municipalities are. From that data, we have ranked the municipalities by how environmentally friendly they are. The municipalities were scored by awarding greenpoints for the following 6 criteria: the energy source used to heat homes, interest in green energy, schools’ Green Flag scheme, residents per car, access to composting and purchases of organic groceries. The more greenpoints, the more climate-friendly the municipality. We then took each municipality’s total greenpoint score and divided it by the municipality’s average house price. This gives the average house price for one greenpoint in each municipality.
Albertslund comes out on top, followed by Ishøj, Ballerup and Copenhagen
The results show that Albertslund tops the list with the cheapest house price per greenpoint, followed by Ishøj, Ballerup and Copenhagen. You can see the full list below:
