I am looking to buy a flat for own use (single guy with no commitments and 90% WFH). I live in Berlin but commute to Bremen semi-frequently. Should I buy a studio apartment in Berlin or a 3 bedroom flat in Bremen? Would appreciate some advice!

Berlin

  • (Pros) Much better city than Bremen great for single person
  • (Pros) I could always find someone to rent the studio if I had to move out in worse case
  • (Cons) Tiny studio and 2 people cannot live in it and having a partner means moving out

Bremen

  • (Pros) Much more space
  • (Pros) Cheaper too
  • (Pros) I can make it my only home and no more hassle of finding another flat if I have a family
  • (Cons) Dead social life and less opportunity? - can anyone advice here?
