Højbjerg, Aarhus: Villas for Sale in a Coastal Suburb

The suburb lies between Aarhus city and Marselisborg Forest and beaches. The Moesgaard Museum, a modern archaeology museum, is nearby, and Aarhus University and the harbour area provide employment. Schools and green space are the main attractions. The cycle routes into the city are good and buses run frequently, so a car is optional for a household with one commuter. Aarhus has an active university and a growing tech and healthcare sector, which supports demand from international hires and academics who may want to buy rather than rent.

For comparison, look at other Danish cities such as Copenhagen, Odense and Aalborg. These are separate markets, not neighbouring suburbs, and Copenhagen is a long way east.

Non-residents normally require Ministry of Justice permission. If you move to Denmark and register as a resident, the position is easier, and EU citizens working in Denmark have a simpler route. Registration of title (tinglysning) costs about 0.6% of the price plus a fixed fee, and you should allow for a lawyer, a survey and, if you borrow, mortgage deed registration. A lawyer is advisable, and a condition report is standard. See our Denmark buying guide, mortgage page and Denmark page.
