Hamburg, the “gateway to the world”: Attractive and sought-after real estate location
With its unique northern German atmosphere, numerous districts full of unique properties and promising career opportunities, the Hanseatic city of Hamburg attracts more people every year. The phenomenon of Hamburg magnetizes and fascinates everyone in their own way: Young people and students in particular, but also successful workers and families, are moving their center of life to Hamburg in large numbers. The demand for apartments, single-family houses and town villas for sale is correspondingly high: High single-digit to double-digit growth rates are a clear indication that Hamburg is currently more popular than ever.
Life in the Elbe suburbs: Imposing villas and single-family houses in the west of Hamburg
The Elbe suburbs are Germany-wide prime examples of first-class living in a traditionally luxurious manner. Nationally known streets such as the Elbchaussee in Blankenese and Othmarschen show impressively the advantages of life in the Elbe suburbs. The residents mostly come from an academic, economic or other elitist context and have decided to buy a mostly impressive city villa or a single-family house, which characterize the appearance of the Elbe suburbs in such a unique way. The quality of life in the Elbe suburbs is also enhanced by numerous parks such as Jenischpark in Othmarschen or Baurspark in Blankenese, as well as the kilometer-long banks of the Elbe. Anyone looking for a prestigious place to live in Hamburg with the purchase of a property with sometimes extravagant villas or single-family houses in the neighborhood is well advised to go to the Elbe suburbs.
The price range for single-family houses in the best locations in the Elbe begins at 5.100 € per square meter - making it the most expensive residential area in the Hanseatic city.
Living comfortably: Buying real estate in a rural Hamburg idyll
But apartments and houses in other Hamburg locations also promise a comfortable and pleasant lifestyle. One example would be the area of the Alstertal, which makes up a large part of Hamburg's north-east. The natural surroundings of the region particularly emphasize its residential value, especially since it is still part of the metropolis of Hamburg. Hiking trails through nature reserves such as the Rodenbeker Quellental or Hainesch-Iland guarantee excellent local recreation quality right outside the door of your own house or villa. Occasionally there are also farms and open spaces cultivated for agriculture, which provide a completely new interpretation of the term “big city”. You will also find such an idyll in neighboring areas such as the forest villages around Volksdorf or in the Bergedorf further south. Larger properties in good locations such as Hamburg Wellingsbüttel, Volksdorf or Marienthal, on the other hand, can quickly reach the price dimensions of the Elbe suburbs - depending on your personal preference, a detailed property analysis by your real estate agent Engel & Völkers Hamburg may be worthwhile.
There are also harmonious, attractive residential areas in the southern Hamburg area, especially in the Buchholz region in the Nordheide. Your Engel & Völkers contact person on site will be happy to provide information on the current market and supply situation.
Rent central apartments not far from the city
Real estate locations in Hamburg Eppendorf, Barmbek or Winterhude are popular as a place to live, primarily because of their proximity to the lively Hamburg city and their diverse district culture. For example, the Kampnagel cultural center in Winterhude offers regular entertainment and leisure events, Eppendorf knows how to impress with its artful architectural styles and practical shopping opportunities on Eppendorfer Landstrasse, and Barmbek has emerged as a modernized new residential area, especially in recent years. Rent prices for apartments in this region can vary greatly, but they are mostly above the Hamburg average of 17.28 Euros per square meter. The Süderelbe region becomes a tried and tested alternative here; Between the Harburg district and the Hanseatic city of Buxtehude you will find a complex conglomerate of different location qualities and price levels. On the northern outskirts of the city, in the districts of Niendorf, Schnelsen, Groß Borstel and Lokstedt, apartments and houses in the medium-priced segment can also be found, which are only a few minutes' drive from the city center.
