Why look for a roommate in Hellerup?
- You work in Tuborg Havn. Tuborg Havn is home to Saxo Bank (about 700 employees in their 3XN-designed HQ), PwC, KPMG, Torm, and PKA among others (Wikipedia: Tuborg Havn). Walking or cycling to work beats the metro every day.
- You study at CBS. Hellerup is a short S-train ride from Frederiksberg and Solbjerg Plads.
- You want quiet. Hellerup isn't a party neighborhood. It's the area where you can sleep with the windows open, walk along Tuborg Havn on a Sunday, and still be downtown shortly after.
