For people who've searched for an apartment in Berlin recently:

What information would actually have helped you decide where you could afford to live?

I've been building a small side project that collects anonymous rents from Berlin tenants. It's now at 100+ submissions, and I'm trying to decide what comparisons to build next.

Right now I'm thinking beyond just "what's the average rent?" and more along the lines of:

If my budget is €1,200, where could I realistically look?
What are people paying for similar-sized apartments?
How much does €/m² differ between areas?
How much more are furnished apartments?

Eventually, I'd like someone to be able to enter their budget, room requirements, and other needs and get a better idea of where in Berlin their requirements are realistic.

What would you add?

Especially interested in things you wish you'd known during your own apartment search.

Hey Berlin,

I've been playing around with a side project because the rental situation here made me curious about something:

What are Berlin tenants actually paying?

So I built a map where people can anonymously add their rent. Somehow it has now crossed 100 real rent submissions. 😅

I'm not pretending that's enough data to represent Berlin, it definitely isn't. But I'd like to keep building the dataset and eventually use it to help people answer a more useful question:

"Given my budget and what I need from an apartment, where in Berlin should I realistically be looking?"

This is where it is currently: GermanyRent

No login/account required.

If you have a minute to play with it, I'd genuinely appreciate feedback: what's confusing, what's useless, and what's missing?

And if you happen to rent in Berlin, you can add your rent anonymously too.

When looking for an apartment in Berlin, what rent information do you wish you had?

Built a small Berlin side project and could use some brutally useful feedback
