Finding a 3-room place for a couple in Glockenbach: Market reality + application strategy advice? 🏳️‍🌈

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are currently searching for a new place to move into together by September. I moved here last year and he will join me from USA. We’re targeting a 3-room apartment and would absolutely love to be in or very close to Glockenbach.

We have two main questions for anyone who has been through the apartment search recently:

Disclosing relationship status : When you’re applying do you explicitly disclose that you are a same-sex couple? We want to leverage the "stable, long-term working couple" angle because landlords love that, but we’re wondering if it’s safer to just stick to neutral phrasing like "Wir sind ein berufstätiges Paar..." to avoid any old-school landlord bias, or if being completely open has worked out fine for you.

Reality check: What other areas would you recommend for long term? We love to just leave the apartment 15 min walk to a crowded pub etc. Our budget is 2500€ warm (kitchen is a must/furniture optional)
