Does refugee immigration affect the perceived quality of neighbourhoods, and is this an important factor for the opposition to immigration? In this paper, I use real estate listings and online reviews of businesses and public places to demonstrate neighbourhood change due to the establishment of a refugee shelter. The setting is Berlin during the European refugee crisis of 2015. Local authorities had to scramble to find suitable locations for refugee shelters; I show that these locations did not differ from control locations in terms of real estate prices, online reviews or political outcomes before immigration. When a shelter was established, rental prices and ratings for existing places declined in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, I show that the anti-immigrant German AfD party received a higher share of the vote near the refugee shelters. However, these effects are relatively small, and the measured decline in perceived neighbourhood quality explains at most a third of the effect of shelters on voting outcomes (an alternative mechanism could be the increased salience of the continent-wide crisis in the affected areas). The effect on rental prices and ratings is also very local, while the effect on voting outcomes is significant at a greater distance.
