Is the cost of living in Selfoss high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Selfoss, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Selfoss is considered to be relatively high, similar to the rest of the country. Housing is one of the biggest expenses, with rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center being quite costly. Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage are also a significant part of the monthly budget. Groceries in Selfoss can be expensive, with items such as milk, bread, and eggs costing more than in many other countries. Eating out is also pricey, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant being quite high. Transportation costs can also add up, with gasoline prices being high. However, many residents choose to walk or bike, which can help to offset these costs. Healthcare in Iceland is of a high standard, but it is not free. Residents must pay a portion of their healthcare costs, which can add to the overall cost of living. Despite the high cost of living, many residents feel that the quality of life in Selfoss is worth the expense. The town offers a safe, clean environment with a strong sense of community and access to beautiful natural surroundings," said a member in Selfoss, Iceland.
