294 Apartments for sale in Vienna, 6th District, Mariahilf – Page 11

Old building apartments characterize the streetscape of Mariahilf. They are distinguished by generous ceiling heights, classical architectural elements and often an unmistakable charm. Many old buildings have been renovated so that historic details are combined with modern fittings.

Note: However, with old building properties you should always check the condition of the roof, façade and pipes. A renovated old building apartment in a good location combines the best of old and new, but is often priced higher.

The 2-room apartment (living room + bedroom) is one of the most sought-after types in the city. In 1060 Vienna such apartments are perfect for singles, couples or commuters who want a central place to live. They usually offer a living area between approx. 40 and 70 m².

Well-arranged 2-room apartments feel very homely thanks to open kitchens and functional layouts. Some even have a small balcony or a loggia – a plus in the inner-city area.

Those who need a lot of space or appreciate an extraordinary living concept may be interested in 5-room apartments or loft apartments. Such units are rarer, but they exist – for example through attic conversion projects or combined old building apartments.

A 5-room loft apartment offers a lot of living space and combines several bedrooms with generous living areas. Often high-quality fitted (designer kitchen, noble floors) and equipped with a terrace, the prices of such unique properties are correspondingly high.

In Mariahilf you will find a variety of residential areas within a small space:

• Mariahilfer Straße: Vienna’s largest shopping street and the city’s shopping paradise. Living here means being in the middle of it all – above the shops there are apartments that, despite the bustle, are relatively quiet thanks to the pedestrian zone.
• Gumpendorfer Straße: A diverse axis with old buildings, trendy bars, galleries and some new housing projects. It is considered fashionable and at the same time somewhat quieter than Mariahilfer Straße.
• Side streets (Esterházygasse, Mollardgasse, Bürgerspitalgasse): Off the main streets you will find quiet residential areas with old building flair. Here you can enjoy more green views (at Minna-Lachs-Park) and a slower pace, while still having cafés and shops nearby.

Quality of life in Mariahilf is high – you live centrally and have many leisure options on your doorstep. The adjacent Viennese Naschmarkt in particular shapes the atmosphere: here you can enjoy fresh food and international specialties every day. Although Mariahilf is densely built, there are also green spaces for relaxation.

Small parks like Minna-Lachs-Park or Esterházypark (near the House of the Sea) offer oases in the urban area. Culturally, the district also has a lot to offer with the Raimund Theater, small stages, galleries and cinemas. This varied mix of culinary offerings, culture and urban life makes living in 1060 Vienna so attractive.

The infrastructure in 1060 Vienna is excellent. Shopping is not limited to Mariahilfer Straße – there are supermarkets, pharmacies and boutiques in practically every neighborhood. Families will find a good range of schools and kindergartens in the district and the surrounding districts.

Particularly noteworthy is the transport connection:

• Several U-Bahn lines border or cross Mariahilf.
• To the north the U3 (stations: Neubaugasse, Zieglergasse, Westbahnhof) serves the district, to the south the U4 (station Kettenbrückengasse at the Naschmarkt, Pilgramgasse at the edge).
• The transport hub Westbahnhof (U3, U6 as well as regional trains) makes the district optimally accessible.
• In addition, bus lines such as the 13A connect Mariahilf with the city center and the main train station.
• For drivers the entire district has a short-term parking zone (paid short-term parking), so many residents prefer to use public transport.

Apartment prices in Mariahilf are above the Vienna average. Square meter prices are often €5,000 to €7,000 and higher in top locations.

Although Mariahilf mostly consists of old buildings, there are also some new-build and first-occupancy apartments. These usually appear sporadically, for example when old buildings are replaced by modern residential buildings or through attic conversions.

With an old building apartment it is important to check the condition of the building. Ask whether the roof, façade and riser pipes have already been renovated. A well-maintained old building with a modernized elevator and thermal insulation offers significantly more living comfort. Also check whether the apartment has outdoor spaces such as a balcony or terrace – such extras are not a given in old buildings but greatly enhance the living experience.
