## Who it is relevant for

## Broendby in brief
S-train and Ring 3 connection: Brøndbyøster and Brøndby Strand stations provide direct S-train connections to Copenhagen. The municipality is also crossed by Motorring 3, the Holbæk motorway and the Køge Bay motorway — one of the best-connected suburban municipalities south of Copenhagen.

Massive apartment stock — 64% apartments: Brøndby stands out markedly with 64% apartments — unusually high for a suburban municipality. Many are social housing in the Brøndby Strand development. Detached houses make up only 18%, but these are highly sought after.

Brøndby IF and the sports environment: The municipality is nationally known for Brøndby IF and its strong sports facilities. This creates an active and young population profile and contributes to the municipality's identity and appeal as a place to live.
## Housing types

| Type | Share | Approx. count | Context |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Apartment building from 1960–1980 | 64% | 11718 | Apartment buildings dominate Brøndby — particularly the Brøndby Strand development from the 1960s–70s. Many are social housing with large renovation programmes. Co-operative housing units in these developments may have lower purchase prices, but require knowledge of the association's renovation debt. |
| Detached house from 1950–1980 | 18% | 3366 | Detached houses in Brøndby are relatively rare and highly sought after. The typical homes are in Brøndbyøster and Brøndbyvester and date from the 1950s–70s — brick villas with gardens. High demand makes renovation a good proposition. |
| Terraced house from 1970–1990 | 14% | 2530 | Terraced houses in Brøndby typically date from the 1970s–80s and are in housing associations. Their energy performance is below average, but their proximity to the S-train gives high market value. |
