This provides a broad employment catchment area and solid housing demand from commuters and business people.

The price level is strong for Jutland. Koldinghus and fjord life: Koldinghus Castle and Kolding Fjord create a strong identity. The coastal road along the fjord, harbour development and the city's cultural life attract both newcomers and tourists. This supports property prices in the attractive fjord-adjacent neighbourhoods. ## Housing types | Type | Share | Approx. count | Context | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Detached house from 1960–1990 | 48% | 22800 | The typical home in Kolding is a brick villa from the 1960s–80s.
