What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Seltjarnarnes?

"A typical expat home or apartment in Seltjarnarnes, is often a modern, well-insulated property designed to withstand the harsh Icelandic weather. These homes are usually spacious, with open-plan living areas, large windows to let in as much natural light as possible, and often offer stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. The interiors are typically Scandinavian in style, with minimalist decor, neutral color schemes, and functional furniture. Kitchens are usually fully equipped with modern appliances, and bathrooms are designed with heated floors for comfort during the cold winter months. Many homes also have outdoor spaces, such as balconies or small gardens, where residents can enjoy the midnight sun in the summer or possibly catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights in the winter. Some properties may also have a private or communal geothermal hot tub, a popular feature in Icelandic homes. Despite being in a relatively quiet and small town, these homes are often just a short drive away from the bustling city center of Reykjavik, providing a balance between peaceful living and easy access to amenities," said one person in Seltjarnarnes.
