Who Should Choose Havens Living Berlin – Charlottenburg
Havens Living Berlin – Charlottenburg is a purpose‑built residence in Berlin’s western Charlottenburg district. With monthly rents ranging from €1,159 to €2,449 (indicative — confirm with the operator), it sits well above Berlin’s city‑wide from‑price of €440 for student housing. This property is clearly not for budget‑conscious students; it is designed for professionals, postgraduate researchers, or anyone relocating to Berlin who values a hassle‑free, move‑in‑ready experience over the lowest cost.
The residence offers two unit types: non‑ensuite (shared facilities) and self‑contained apartments. Given the price floor, most units are likely apartments with private kitchens and bathrooms. The minimum lease is 9 months, which makes it suitable for a full academic year or a long‑term work assignment.
This residence suits:
- International arrivals who need a fully furnished place with high‑speed Wi‑Fi and a community registration service from day one.
- Students or young professionals willing to pay a premium for a clean, well‑managed building with common areas and a roof terrace.
- Anyone looking for a short‑term base while searching for a permanent home (as highlighted by one resident).
This residence may not suit:
- Students on a tight budget — the starting price is about 2.6 times the city’s cheapest student accommodation.
- Those who prefer a traditional shared flat (WG) with lower rent and more room‑mate flexibility.
- Anyone needing a lease shorter than 9 months; the minimum is fixed.

Price Positioning vs. Berlin’s Student Housing Market
Berlin’s student housing landscape is diverse. The city’s from‑price across 97 properties on the platform is €440 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Properties at that level are typically shared flats or basic dormitory rooms in less central locations.
Havens Living starts at €1,159 — about 2.6 times the cheapest option — and goes up to €2,449. This positions it firmly in the premium segment. For context, a one‑bedroom apartment in Berlin’s private market often costs €800–€1,200 cold rent, but finding one as a newcomer without a German bank account or Schufa can be challenging. Havens Living eliminates those hurdles by offering a turnkey solution with utilities, Wi‑Fi, and registration support included.
What you get for the higher price:
- Private apartment or non‑ensuite room in a purpose‑built residence.
- Facilities: roof terrace, balcony, laundry facility.
- Professionally managed building with 24/7 maintenance.
- Short‑term flexibility (min. 9 months) without the need for a long‑term rental contract.
For a student on a typical budget of €600–€900 per month (common in Berlin), this property is out of reach. It is more viable for PhD candidates with a stipend above €1,300 or for young professionals with a full‑time salary.
Room‑Type Guidance
Two unit types are available:
-
Non‑ensuite – This usually means a private bedroom in a shared apartment where kitchen and bathroom are communal. At this property, even the non‑ensuite option is likely above €1,000 given the price floor. It is a way to access the residence’s common areas and services at a relatively lower cost, but still significantly above the city’s average.
-
Apartment – Self‑contained unit with private bathroom and kitchenette/kitchen. These units represent the higher end of the price range (up to €2,449). Ideal for couples or anyone who values complete privacy.
Recommendation: If your budget allows and you prioritise independence, choose an apartment. If you are comfortable sharing a kitchen and bathroom but want the community feel and premium management, the non‑ensuite may suffice.
Booking Timing
The property does not display a specific “available from” date, but with a 9‑month minimum lease, you should plan ahead. Berlin student housing fills up quickly for the winter semester (October start) and summer semester (April start). For a September/October move‑in, start browsing by June or July. For April, begin in January.
Because this is a premium residence with limited units (25 reviews imply a relatively small building), availability can fluctuate. Contact the operator as early as possible to secure your preferred unit type and lease start date. The platform’s on‑site assistant can help check current vacancies.
FAQ
H3: Is Havens Living Berlin – Charlottenburg suitable for undergraduate students?
Yes, if you have a sufficiently high budget. A student living here would likely pay €1,159–€2,449 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Most undergraduates receive around €1,000–€1,200 total monthly support (including rent), so the lower‑end non‑ensuite option could be possible if you are willing to allocate almost all your funds to housing. However, the property is more commonly chosen by graduate students, interns, or young professionals.
H3: Does the residence offer any on‑site staff or support?
According to a resident review, the staff are “always doing their best to keep the house well managed.” The property also provides a community registration service (Anmeldung) — essential for anyone moving to Germany. This confirms that on‑site management is present and proactive.
H3: Are utilities and internet included in the rent?
Based on a resident review, high‑speed Wi‑Fi is provided from day one. The property is described as “move‑in ready” and fully furnished. It is reasonable to assume that utilities (water, heating, electricity) are included in the monthly rent, but you should verify this with the operator before signing.
