A location by the cliff is a premium housing argument, and the Cold War Museum at Stevnsfort attracts tourists from across Denmark. Low price level with proximity to nature: 64% of homes are detached houses and farmhouses — many rooted in the agricultural community's structures. House prices are moderate, but coastal proximity and UNESCO status provide a positive market foundation. Chalk and limestone underfoot: Stevns' subsoil of chalk and limestone is visible in the characteristic coastal cliff. This gives special living conditions and a unique landscape — but in rare cases may require consideration of foundations when renovating. ## Housing types | Type | Share | Approx. count | Context | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Detached house and farmhouse | 64% | 7000 | Detached houses and farmhouses dominate Stevns Municipality.
