With over 200,000 inhabitants, Favoriten is Vienna's most populous district. Accordingly, the housing market in 1100 Vienna is also large and diverse. Buyers will find both classic period apartments from the Gründerzeit and modern condominiums in new developments.

Purchase prices for apartments in Favoriten are on average still below those of the inner districts, but have steadily increased in recent years. Depending on location, living area and fittings, you currently pay about 4,000 to 6,000 Euro per square meter of living space – in top locations and for first occupancy even more.

A large part of the supply consists of compact city apartments. In particular, two-room apartments (around 50–60 m² of living space) are in high demand in Favoriten, as they are ideal for singles and couples.

In addition, there are of course more spacious family apartments with 3 or more rooms. Overall, the 10th district offers a wide selection: from a small top-floor apartment with a terrace to a generous period apartment in a classic Viennese tenement house.

When it comes to the features of an apartment in 1100 Vienna, there is a mix of traditional and modern. In many older residential buildings (period buildings) you find high ceilings and classic layouts – often, however, without a balcony and not always with an elevator.

Modern new builds in Favoriten, on the other hand, rely on contemporary fittings and thoughtful layouts: a passenger elevator, a private balcony or a terrace are usually standard. You also find small gardens or greened courtyards in new residential developments, which particularly appeal to families and leisure-oriented residents.

The floor plans of newer apartments are usually designed efficiently to create maximum living value on limited space. For example, a typical two-room apartment usually has an open living-dining area with an integrated kitchen, a bedroom and ancillary rooms such as a bathroom, WC and an entrance hall.

In top-floor apartments, living spaces and outdoor areas are often combined – for example through large terraces with views over the district. In general, developers in current projects in Favoriten pay attention to modern technical equipment (e.g. underfloor heating, accessibility) and an appealing design of the residential complexes.

The Favoriten district stretches from the inner-city area near the main train station up to the Laaer Berg in the south. This location means that residents enjoy both the proximity to the city center and green spaces on their doorstep.

In the north of the district, around the new main train station and the Sonnwendviertel, numerous apartments have been newly built – here you live in an urban setting with excellent transport connections via the subway (line U1), S-Bahn and various bus and tram lines.

The infrastructure in Favoriten is overall excellent: Along the pedestrian zone Favoritenstraße there are many shopping opportunities, as well as schools, medical centers and the modern hospital Klinik Favoriten.

Quieter residential areas are mainly found in the southern parts of the Favoriten district, away from the main traffic arteries. Streets like Inzersdorfer Straße represent such typical residential locations, where mainly period and post-war buildings dominate.

By contrast, the areas close to the city center, for example around Gudrunstraße and Josef-Deutsch-Straße, are considered up-and-coming locations with new, modern projects. Via the motorway connections (A23 Südosttangente, A2) and the Verteilerkreis Favoriten, the district is also well connected to the surrounding region.

In short: the 10th district offers a varied setting – from the lively neighborhood close to the center to the almost village-like idyll on the city edge.
