Via the Donauuferautobahn (A22) and the Brünner Straße you can also reach other districts and the surrounding area quickly by car. Despite the urban accessibility, the district retains its quiet charm in many places: in residential areas away from the main axes you will find tree‑lined streets, wine taverns in Stammersdorf and the feeling of a green suburban life.

The real estate market in Floridsdorf has something to suit every taste and budget. The offering ranges from highly modern new‑build apartments in newly constructed residential complexes to classic apartments in older buildings with character.

Many condominiums in the 21st district are from more recent construction years – Floridsdorf has experienced a construction boom for years, providing numerous first‑occupancy apartments with energy‑efficient construction. At the same time there are also existing properties, for example well‑maintained apartments from the 1960s to 1990s, which often score with solid building fabric and larger usable areas.

Apartment sizes and layouts are also diverse. Everything from a compact single apartment with 1 to 2 rooms to a spacious family apartment with 4 or more rooms is represented.

Popular are apartments with a balcony or terrace, which offer private outdoor space – in Floridsdorf these are not uncommon thanks to many low‑rise projects with generous open areas.

In modern condominiums in Floridsdorf, living comfort and thoughtful space planning take center stage. Living space is used optimally – open floor plans with bright living kitchens create a spacious feel even on limited square meters.

High‑quality fittings have become standard: noble parquet floors (e.g. oak parquet), underfloor heating and stylish bathrooms with branded fittings provide an upscale ambiance. Large windows let in plenty of daylight and improve the living climate.

Many new‑build projects also include sun protection, energy‑efficient heating systems (e.g. heat pumps) and even cooling options for the summer – all of which noticeably increase living comfort.

In terms of building facilities, the 21st district has a lot to offer. Modern residential complexes almost always have elevators and often underground parking spaces – a plus for everyday comfort.

Those who like to drive to the Weinviertel appreciate the location on the city edge: in just a few minutes you are in the surrounding Lower Austria, for example to explore the Bisamberg or visit traditional wine taverns (Heurige) in Stammersdorf.

Despite the sometimes quiet peripheral location, Floridsdorf is not an isolated outer district – the transport connections are very good throughout the district. Public transport also serves more remote neighborhoods: trams and buses connect, for example, Stammersdorf and Strebersdorf with the U‑bahn and S‑bahn at Floridsdorf station.

Via main roads such as the Brünner Straße or the Prager Straße you can quickly reach the city center or the motorway. One example of the successful combination of a natural location and good accessibility is the new residential project "Hirschfeld" at Gerasdorfer Straße 105: here, hundreds of apartments are being built directly on the green corridor of the Marchfeld Canal, while still being well connected to the local center by bus lines.

Overall, Floridsdorf offers the advantage of living both in green surroundings and being able to get into the city quickly – an important factor when buying property.
