About these cities

About Rijswijk

Rijswijk is a quiet, low-slung suburb that trades Amsterdam's chaos for a 13 km hop to Rotterdam The Hague Airport and a safety index of 95/100. The rent math is odd but in your favor: a 1-bedroom outside the center runs $1,290/mo while a 3-bedroom in the center costs $1,514/mo, so families get more space for barely more money. With a cost of living index of 75/100, a $3,738/mo average net salary, and a digital nomad score of 75/100, it works for remote earners who want Dutch infrastructure without Dutch city prices. The catch is that English proficiency is common mainly in tourist areas, so daily life in Cromvliet or Leeuwendaal rewards at least a little Dutch.

About Netherlands

Best for digital nomads with high income: the Netherlands offers a self-employment residency visa with a posted income floor of $1,713/month, but check the latest application details. Safety is top-tier with a 73.1 Safety Index and a US Travel Advisory Level 2, comparable to safe US metros. The trade-off: a progressive income tax up to 49.5% on local earnings, which can erode remote-work arbitrage gains.

About Landstraße

Landstraße is Vienna's third district, and the numbers make a strong case: a 1-bedroom in the centre runs $1,250/mo while outside it drops to $950/mo, with a single adult budget tier at $2,230/mo and a cost of living index of 74/100 against NYC. The expat score of 83/100 and digital nomad score of 83/100 are backed by a safety index of 90/100, a crime index of 10/100, and 200 Mbps internet, plus English is widely spoken. The catch is the retiree score of 70/100 and FIRE score of 69/100, and the settlement permit except gainful employment demands $2,548/mo, so this is a solid working expat base rather than a cheap early-retirement play.

About Austria

Austria has a digital nomad visa available or a fast path to citizenship, neither exists here. High earners also face a 55% top tax rate above EUR 1M. But retirees clearing EUR 2,548/mo qualify for a settlement permit, and with a 70.5 safety index and strong healthcare, it suits those prioritizing stability over low taxes or easy paperwork.
