255 Apartments for sale in Carinthia, Klagenfurt – Page 5

• Largest city in Carinthia: With over 105,000 inhabitants, Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is the sixth-largest city in Austria and also the capital of the state of Carinthia.
• Wörthersee as a price driver: Proximity to the Wörthersee increases the attractiveness of many residential areas. Condominiums with lake views or close to the lake fetch top prices, since the lake as a leisure and nature idyll adds particular value.
• Average prices per m²: Currently, purchase prices for apartments in Klagenfurt are on average around 4,600 €/m². This makes residential property here somewhat cheaper than in Vienna, but more expensive than in the surrounding Carinthian area.
• Small but expensive: Small apartments under 40 m² cost the most per square meter — almost 5,000 €/m² on average. These micro-apartments are popular with investors because they rent well (e.g., to students of the local university).
• High rate of new construction: Around 2,000 new residential units are completed annually in Klagenfurt (as of around 2023), with about 70% of them being condominiums. The high level of construction activity in recent years largely covered demand, but a decline is expected from 2025, which could tighten supply in the future.

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, with over 105,000 inhabitants, is the largest city in Carinthia and sees a steady demand for housing. Condominiums in Klagenfurt are sought after, which is reflected in prices: the average purchase price for apartments in 2025 is around 4,600 euros per square meter.

Compared to 2024 this means a slight increase — despite a general cooling of the real estate market, prices in Klagenfurt are continuing to rise moderately. In particular, small apartments (under 40 m²) achieve high prices per square meter of around 5,000 €/m², as they are popular with singles and investors. Larger apartments over 90 m² are on average somewhat cheaper per m², which can be attractive for families.

The housing and market situation shows regional differences: In Klagenfurt (city) about 5 to 6 new apartments are completed per 1,000 inhabitants each year — a figure only surpassed by Villach in Carinthia.

The focus is strongly on home ownership: Around 70% of newly built units are condominiums, while new rental apartments are rarer. However, the construction boom is easing slightly; a decline in new construction activity is forecast for the coming years.

When it comes to apartment features in Klagenfurt, buyers value modern conveniences and outdoor spaces. Especially a balcony, terrace or even a small garden are sought-after features — they increase living value, particularly in the sunny region of Carinthia.

Many newly built condominiums are planned with generous balconies or terraces, often with views of greenery or the city. Ground-floor apartments commonly include a private garden area as a near-standard feature, which appeals to families and pet owners.

A private parking space or underground parking is also an important feature. In Klagenfurt city center parking is limited, so apartments with underground garages or at least an assigned parking space are highly sought after.

Modern residential complexes also frequently offer elevators, bicycle and stroller storage rooms, and cellar/storage units for additional storage. In higher-priced properties (e.g., luxury new builds) you will find extras like underfloor heating, air conditioning or smart home technology.

The city of Klagenfurt is divided into several districts and residential areas, each with its own charm. Popular choices include both central neighborhoods and turn-of-the-century residential areas on the outskirts — and of course everything near the Wörthersee.

Here is an overview of some sought-after locations:

• City center and near-central areas: The city itself offers many historic buildings with condominiums in the center (Inner City), ideal for those who appreciate urban living. Around the Lend Canal and Heiligengeistplatz you will find both renovated old apartments and modern city apartments. Parking is scarce here, but the walkable infrastructure is excellent.
• Kreuzbergl and St. Martin (northwest): On the Kreuzbergl — a hilly area in the St. Martin district — are some of Klagenfurt’s most exclusive addresses. In Kinkstraße and the surrounding area you can enjoy peaceful living in green surroundings close to the Kreuzbergl recreation area. The Wörthersee and the city center are not far from here. Apartments in this area are often spacious and well appointed, frequently with a balcony or terrace and nice views. Prices in these top locations are correspondingly high.
• Waidmannsdorf and lake proximity (west): The Waidmannsdorf district stretches to the eastern shore of the Wörthersee and is particularly known for its proximity to the lake and the university. Modern new buildings are also emerging here, for example along Kranzmayerstraße, with projects like “Kronaris” that enable elegant lakeside living. Condominiums in Waidmannsdorf are in demand — from smaller investor apartments near the university to luxurious penthouses with lake views. A garden or rooftop terrace is a big plus here.
• Harbach and St. Peter (east): In eastern Klagenfurt, in the Harbach district (St. Peter), there is a lot of urban development activity. The “hi Harbach” project is creating a new residential quarter with numerous condominiums along Harbacherstraße. These new builds combine a location close to nature (lots of green space, walking paths) with modern infrastructure. Buyers here often find energy-efficient apartments with a loggia, balcony or small garden at comparatively moderate prices — ideal for young families and couples.
• St. Ruprecht and Viktring (south): In southern districts like St. Ruprecht (e.g., around Seegasse) and the further south Viktring, life is somewhat calmer. These residential areas offer a suburban character with single-family homes and smaller residential complexes. Condominiums are also available here, often in the form of well-kept smaller developments or settlements. Prices tend to be somewhat lower than in top locations, which attracts price-conscious buyers. At the same time, the main traffic routes provide quick access to the city or the Wörthersee.

In addition to these examples, it is also worth taking a look at the surrounding area:

• In the district of Klagenfurt-Land — the communities around the city — one can also buy an apartment.
• There you often find larger plots and quiet green locations, sometimes also in proximity to lakes (for example in Krumpendorf or Maria Wörth on the Wörthersee).
• Prices in the surrounding area are usually somewhat cheaper than in Klagenfurt city, but this typically requires commuting to the center.
