"A typical expat home or apartment in Borgarnes, is often a modern, well-insulated structure designed to withstand the harsh Icelandic weather. These homes are usually equipped with central heating, often powered by geothermal energy, which is abundant in Iceland. The interiors are typically spacious and minimalist, reflecting the Nordic design aesthetic, with large windows to let in as much natural light as possible during the short winter days. The kitchen is usually fully equipped, as home cooking is a significant part of Icelandic culture. Many homes also have a private outdoor space, such as a garden or a patio, where residents can enjoy the long summer days. Some expat homes may also have a private hot tub or access to a communal geothermal pool, which are popular leisure facilities in Iceland. Despite being in a small town, these homes are often within walking distance to local amenities such as grocery stores, schools, and restaurants," wrote a member who made the move to Borgarnes, Iceland.
