Cost of Living in Oslo, Norway

"The cost of living in Oslo is generally considered to be high. Prices for basic necessities such as food, housing, and transportation are all relatively expensive compared to other cities in Europe. Additionally, taxes are also quite high in Norway, making it even more expensive to live in Oslo," said one expat in Oslo.

"Living in Oslo can be more expensive than living in the United States. The cost of living in Oslo is higher than in many other cities in Europe, and the cost of housing is particularly high. However, the cost of living in Oslo is offset by the fact that wages are also higher than in the United States, and the Norwegian government provides generous social benefits. Additionally, the cost of transportation in Oslo is relatively low, and the city has excellent public transportation. All in all, living in Oslo can be more expensive than living in the United States, but the higher wages and social benefits can help to offset the cost," explained one expat.

"The cost of housing in Oslo is generally quite high. The average price for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is around 8,000 to 10,000 Norwegian kroner (NOK) per month, while a three-bedroom apartment can cost up to 15,000 NOK per month. Prices outside of the city center tend to be lower, but still remain relatively expensive," said one expat in Oslo.

"To be honest I don't know what we pay, but I would estimate it to be around 3,500 dollars/month, which is certainly higher than I would expect to pay in the center of Houston," remarked one in Oslo.

"The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Oslo can range from around $1,500 to $2,500 per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment can range from around $2,000 to $3,500 per month," said one expat living in Oslo.

"Rental properties in Oslo typically include a refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. Additionally, some properties may include a microwave, toaster, and other small kitchen appliances," said an expat in Oslo.
