Urban living and locations close to nature: Aalen meets the tastes of a wide range of buyer target groups
As the official district town of the Ostalbkreis district, houses, apartments and plots of land for sale in Aalen are attracting increased interest from a large number of property seekers. In addition to beautiful natural areas along the eponymous "Aal", the city of Aalen fascinates with a mix of big city flair and small town idyll. Those who relocate their center of life to the center of the Ostalbkreis district by purchasing an Engel & Völkers property benefit not only from the excellent social infrastructure within the town, but also from the proximity to supra-regional innovation locations such as Stuttgart or Ulm.
Living in the heart of the Ostalbkreis district - welcome to Schwäbisch Gmünd!
Around 50 kilometers from the state capital Stuttgart, property seekers can fulfill their dream of owning their own home in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Known today as a large district town and nationally as the central center of East Württemberg, Schwäbisch Gmünd gained historical significance with its many monasteries. One of the first Franciscan monasteries in the state was built as early as the middle of the 13th century. Over the centuries, three more imposing monastery buildings were added, which are still popular excursion destinations in the area today. You can find out which other sights and leisure opportunities will benefit you when selling your property in our city portrait.
Oberkochen - a paradise for hikers and nature lovers
Despite the urban structures in the center of Oberkochen with its multitude of shopping facilities for daily needs, restaurants and cafés, the residential area offers plenty of space for local recreation. Beautiful forests, the sublime backdrop of the surrounding mountain landscape and the fresh alpine air invite you to take a break on your own doorstep. Anyone offering their terraced house, semi-detached house or condominium for sale in Oberkochen will benefit from the proximity to the Swabian Alb nature reserve. On the recommendation of our experienced estate agents, numerous quality hiking trails invite explorers of all ages to get to know the new residential and real estate location.
Idyllic living at the Limes cultural heritage site: Ellwangen in the context of real estate sales
Once settled by the Celts and Romans, the river Limes marked out today's sought-after urban area as early as 450 BC. Since its incorporation in 1972, Ellwangen has been one of the three large district towns in the sales area alongside Aalen and Schwäbisch Gmünd. Situated almost in the geographical center of southern Germany, Ellwangen and its seven municipalities are centrally located close to the metropolitan areas of Stuttgart, Ulm, Nuremberg and Würzburg. The proximity to nature in the form of the eastern foothills of the Alb and the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains is a fundamental reason for buying a house or apartment here.
