Neukölln is located adjacent to the borough of Kreuzberg and is the most densely populated locality of Berlin. This neighborhood has a reputation for being a gritty, somewhat-rough district with a high percentage of immigrants. This reputation is not entirely unearned. Today, Neukölln is a melting pot of cultures and ideas as nearly 40% of its residents are of Turkish or Russian decent. Due to the low rents and its edgy appeal, the area has become very popular with students, artists and young professionals who have flocked to the area in the last decade.
