The real estate market in Villach has grown actively and steadily in recent years. With around 65,000 inhabitants, the city has dynamic demand for housing, which is reflected in property prices. Condos in Villach are still more affordable compared to larger cities, but prices vary depending on location and fittings.

Currently, purchase prices for apartments average about €4,000 to €5,000 per square meter (€/m²) of living space. Smaller apartments (e.g. 30 m²) can have a somewhat higher price per m² (depending on size) than larger apartments, as compact city dwellings are in demand.

At the moment, several hundred apartments are available on the market, including both existing properties and new-build projects. The range extends from affordable starter apartments to exclusive penthouse apartments with panoramic views.

Through new residential projects and renovations of older buildings, the market is constantly changing – new-build apartments with the latest fittings are added, while lovingly renovated period apartments exude their own special charm. Overall, the Villach real estate market offers interesting opportunities for owner-occupiers and investors alike.

Condos in Villach impress with varied fittings and features that enhance living comfort. The living area varies greatly depending on the property – from single apartments around 40 m² to spacious apartments of over 100 m² for families.

Typically, 2- to 4-room apartments are most common, but there are also special housing types such as maisonette apartments over two floors, offering a house-like living feel.

A major plus of many Villach apartments are the outdoor areas and amenities. Many properties have a balcony or a terrace, which makes living particularly attractive – after all, Carinthia enjoys many sunny days and wonderful views.

Ground-floor apartments often even have a small garden or a terrace with green space, ideal for relaxing and as an extension of the living area.

Modern new-build apartment projects in Villach offer the highest living comfort. They are usually available as first occupancy and equipped with contemporary technology. These include, for example, energy-efficient heating systems (district heating or heat pumps), underfloor heating, triple-glazed windows and high-quality flooring.

Accessibility is also taken into account: an elevator in the building and step-free access ensure that all floors are easily reachable.

Villach offers various residential areas, each with its own charm. Apartments near lakes and in quiet districts with good infrastructure are particularly sought after.

Here is an overview of some popular districts and neighborhoods in and around Villach:

• Drobollach at Lake Faak: This district lies directly on the picturesque Lake Faak and is one of the most sought-after locations for lakeside living. Drobollach offers a quiet, idyllic residential atmosphere with immediate proximity to the turquoise lake – ideal for water sports enthusiasts, swimmers and nature lovers. Condos in this location are scarce and therefore highly sought after.
• City center: Those who appreciate urban life will find the Villach city center a good choice. Around the main square and the Draubrücke you will find city apartments with all the advantages of a central location: shopping options, cafés, doctors, authorities and cultural offerings are right on your doorstep. In the city center there are both period apartments in historic buildings and modern apartments in new residential and commercial buildings.
• Landskron: Located to the north of Villach, Landskron is known for Landskron Castle and its proximity to Lake Ossiach. Landskron combines urban living with closeness to nature – here you find single-family home developments as well as modern residential complexes. Some apartments offer fantastic views of the castle or even towards Lake Ossiach.
• Villach-Warmbad and Perau: The Warmbad district is home to the well-known thermal spa and health center. The area is quiet and green; apartments there often offer a high level of living comfort in well-maintained complexes. Warmbad is ideal for those who want to combine health and leisure. Perau and Lind – on the western bank of the Drau near the center – are also popular residential areas, as they are close to the center yet peaceful.

Of course there are other districts such as Vassach (rural with its own small lake), St. Martin, Maria Gail or Fellach, which may be suitable depending on personal taste.

Individual needs are always decisive: Do you prefer to live centrally, or are you looking for peace in the surrounding area? Do you want a lake view or proximity to the workplace? Villach offers the right living environment for everyone – from urban flair to a nature oasis by the lake.

When buying an apartment in Villach, purchase price and budget play a central role. As mentioned, average prices per square meter are around €4,000–5,000/m², but the purchase price can vary significantly depending on fittings and location.

Exclusive new-build penthouses with large terraces in top locations can reach prices in the seven-figure range, while simple, smaller apartments on the outskirts can already be available for under €150,000.

Especially lakeside properties or apartments with lake access (e.g. at Lake Faak) are often more expensive and are sometimes listed as price on request, as they belong to the premium category.

Buyers often ask: Owner-occupancy or investment? An apartment in Villach is suitable both as a new home with high quality of life and as an investment property. Villach’s economy is shaped by industry (e.g. technology companies in the region), tourism and its location in the Alpine-Adriatic area.

A condominium can therefore also be a profitable investment, whether for renting to residents (for example students of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences or employees of local companies) or as a holiday apartment for tourists who visit the region in summer and winter. Rental yields in Carinthia are moderate, but the stable demand provides reliable income and property values in Villach tend to rise over time.

Those specifically aiming to invest should evaluate location and fittings from that perspective:

• Central apartments or those near lakes are usually easier to rent.
• A maisonette or a spacious apartment with an extra office room can be attractive to certain tenant groups (e.g. families or remote workers).

Another aspect is the quality of life in Villach, which is likely decisive for owner-occupiers. The city offers a cozy atmosphere often described as almost “Mediterranean,” thanks to a southern climate and lots of sun. The infrastructure is well developed – from shopping centers and educational institutions to the hospital, everything is available locally.
