Home Sweet Home

I live on the 1st floor (actually the 2nd) of the building on left. I live in a very new neighborhood generally referred to as Islands Brygge (EES-lands BRUG-ga). You can see they are continuing to build more apartments just down the street from my place. Ten years ago Islands Brygge was a mixture of deserted industrial buildings, slum apartments, and open fields. Accessibility was the area's Achilles' heel: there is only one bridge to the city center and the S-tog doesn't touch this island.

The new and expanding Metro has changed all of that. The area is now extremely accessible and very close to the city center and airport. Not surprisingly, it is experiencing a building boom unlike any in Denmark's history. This is one of several reasons why København's economy has been doing remarkably well the past few years.
The blue dot marks the spot: home sweet home. A little over a mile from the heart of the city and directly across the water from Vesterbro, another revitalized area with the city's best restaurants and nightlife.
