Hernals is a district predominantly characterized by residential areas in the northwest of Vienna. As the 17th district, Hernals with its roughly 56,000 inhabitants offers both urban flair and nature‑close recreation on the edge of the Wienerwald.

The real estate market in Hernals is characterized by diversity: In the inner parts of the district near the Gürtel, Gründerzeit-era old apartments dominate, while towards the city outskirts you will also find newer residential developments and single‑family homes. Demand for apartments in 1170 Vienna has increased in recent years, but remains moderately priced.

Condominiums here cost on average less than in the upscale western districts (such as neighboring Währing or Döbling), but somewhat more than in adjacent Ottakring. Thus Hernals offers an attractive price‑performance ratio for property buyers who value living comfort and a high quality of life.

The fittings of apartments in 1170 Vienna vary depending on the year of construction. Classic old apartments in Hernals impress with their distinctive old‑building atmosphere: high rooms with stucco ceilings, herringbone parquet and double wing doors provide an elegant living feel.

Many old buildings in the heart of the district have already been renovated and upgraded with modern technology to provide contemporary living comfort – for example by installing energy‑efficient heating systems or soundproof windows.

New‑build apartments in Hernals, on the other hand, come with modern fittings and well thought‑out layouts. An open plan kitchen (living room with integrated kitchen) is often standard here and creates a communicative living environment. Almost all newer apartments also offer outdoor space such as a balcony or terrace, and sometimes even small private gardens for ground‑floor units.

You will also find elevators, underfloor heating and smart‑home technologies in many new projects – all of these features significantly increase living comfort. In addition, some residential buildings have landscaped courtyards or communal gardens that provide extra recreational space right at the building.

The range of apartments in Hernals covers a wide variety of housing needs. Smaller 2‑room apartments are ideal for singles or couples and are typical city offerings. In addition, there are numerous 3‑room apartments that also provide a home for small families. Those who need more space can also find generous 4‑room family apartments.

Many of the available properties are classic old‑style apartments, some unrenovated, some high‑quality newly renovated as first occupancy after refurbishment. At the same time, modern new projects are being built in the district offering condominiums with all the amenities. Even converted attic apartments with roof terraces are not uncommon in Hernals – they combine wide views over the city with an exclusive living feel.

An up‑to‑date example of innovative residential construction is the housing project at Ottakringer Straße 26 / Veronikagasse 31: Here a modern residential ensemble with around 60 condominiums is being created, spread over two apartment buildings and a townhouse in a landscaped courtyard, offering contemporary living comfort.

Hernals offers a varied quality of location within the district. Along busy main axes like Hernalser Hauptstraße and Ottakringer Straße you’ll find an urban environment with numerous shops, cafés and restaurants.

In contrast, quiet side streets – such as Beheimgasse, Redtenbachergasse or Veronikagasse – offer apartments in pleasant quiet locations away from traffic.

The infrastructure in the 17th district is generally very good: supermarkets, pharmacies, schools and doctors are available in the various residential neighborhoods, and around Elterleinplatz in the heart of Hernals many shopping facilities and services are concentrated.

Hernals is also well connected in terms of transport. The tram lines 43 and 44 take residents directly to the city center (to the terminus Schottentor), while line 9 runs tangentially along the Gürtel. In addition, several bus lines connect the residential areas on the city outskirts (e.g. towards Schafberg) with the main transport hubs.

With the S‑bahn line S45 (Hernals station) there is a connection to the rapid transit ring, so you can reach other districts and interchange points quickly. In the medium term, an extension of the U‑bahn (line U5) to Hernals is also planned, which will further improve public transport connections.

For leisure and recreation, the nearby Wienerwald and green spaces such as the Schwarzenbergpark in Neuwaldegg are ideal for walking, jogging or cycling. At the southern edge of the district the Brunnenmarkt at Yppenplatz (on the border with Ottakring) invites you to lively market activity, underlining the area’s multicultural flair.
