Talking strictly about Berlin, most of the EU migrants coming in here fall in two categories:

- highly skilled workers (IT, Finance, Sales, Marketing) that earn much more than average german folk, and compete for housing with upper class berliners

- unskilled workers (constructions) that live usually in temp housing and don't attempt to rent a flat for themselves.

As for the refugees, most of them still live in camps distributed across Germany and if they get a flat subsidised by the state it will be in some low demand neighbourhood.
