800 Apartments for sale in Vienna, 14th District, Penzing – Page 23

• Green district: Penzing is one of Vienna's greenest districts. Almost half of the district's area consists of green spaces and forests – ideal for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.
• Historical roots: The 14th district was formed from several formerly independent suburbs (Breitensee, Baumgarten, Hütteldorf, Hadersdorf-Weidlingau and Penzing). As a result, the district unites different characters – from densely built Gründerzeit neighborhoods to almost rural village centers on the city outskirts.
• Unique water castle: With Schloss Laudon, 1140 Vienna is home to the only preserved water castle (moated castle) within the city of Vienna. The baroque complex in Hadersdorf is surrounded by a moat and is considered a cultural jewel of the district.
• Architectural highlights: Penzing houses the famous Otto Wagner Church at Steinhof, an Art Nouveau church regarded as one of Vienna's most significant architectural monuments. In addition, the modern Allianz Stadium (Gerhard-Hanappi-Stadion) – the home of the football club SK Rapid Vienna – is also located in the district.
• High quality of life: Living in the 14th district offers a successful mix of city and nature. Residents appreciate the peaceful residential location on the city outskirts combined with good transport connections. Thanks to many parks, recreational opportunities and solid infrastructure, Penzing is considered family-friendly and a desirable residential district.

The real estate market in Penzing is characterized by a mix of traditional old buildings and modern new-build projects. Apartments in this district are in demand because they are comparatively affordable. Purchase prices for condominiums range depending on location, living area and year of construction on average between around 4,500 and 6,000 euros per square meter, placing Penzing in the mid-range among Vienna's districts.

In the inner parts of the district such as Breitensee or Baumgarten, one often finds Gründerzeit buildings (old buildings from the turn of the century) with charm, while on the city outskirts and in up-and-coming locations there are increasingly new residential projects with modern living units. Despite an upward trend, prices in 1140 Vienna remain comparatively moderate, making Penzing attractive for apartment buyers.

Those looking to buy an apartment in 1140 Vienna can choose from a variety of apartment types – from the compact 2-room apartment to the spacious 3-room apartment.

A 2-room apartment (usually approx. 50–70 m² living space) is ideal for singles or couples and typically consists of a bedroom, living room (often designed as an open-plan kitchen), bathroom as well as an entrance hall and usually a separate WC.

3-room apartments (on average 70–100 m²) additionally offer a second bedroom or study and are well suited for small families who need more space. Besides size, the building style also plays a role: lovers of historic flair will find their match in Penzing, as many old apartments in Gründerzeit buildings impress with high ceilings, classic façades and a special living atmosphere.

At the same time, there are numerous new apartments and modern residential complexes that offer contemporary comfort – including barrier-free access (elevator), underground parking and efficient floor plans. In larger residential complexes or rental apartment buildings, various housing units are often available, from compact single apartments to spacious family dream homes with a terrace or garden.

The features of an apartment significantly contribute to the quality of living. Especially in a green district like Penzing, buyers appreciate apartments with private outdoor spaces and practical extras. Many properties in 1140 Vienna can score points with features that make daily life more comfortable:

• Balcony or terrace: An apartment with a balcony or terrace extends the living space outdoors. Here you can enjoy fresh air, take in views of the greenery or spend cozy evenings. In Penzing, apartments with a balcony or terrace are in demand, as they significantly enhance the living experience in summer.
• Private garden: Especially ground-floor apartments or maisonettes sometimes come with a small garden. A private garden in Vienna is a highlight – it offers a quiet outdoor retreat, ideal for families with children, hobby gardeners or pet owners.
• Parking space or underground garage: Parking can often be tight in Vienna. Many newer residential buildings in Penzing, however, have an underground garage or parking spaces – a great advantage for car owners that saves the tedious search for parking and provides security for the vehicle.
• Elevator (lift): Especially in old buildings without an elevator, climbing stairs to higher floors can be a challenge. A building with an elevator means barrier-free access to every floor and greatly increases living comfort. Modern new builds in 1140 Vienna almost always come with elevators, while in some old buildings lifts have been installed afterward or at least the possibility exists.
• Modern fittings: Buyers also pay attention to contemporary fittings within the apartment. These include energy-efficient heating systems (e.g. underfloor heating), high-quality floors and windows, well-equipped kitchens (often designed as open-plan kitchens) as well as elegant bathrooms. Such features ensure high comfort and make the apartment a cozy dream home.

1140 Vienna offers an attractive location with many advantages. The Penzing district stretches from the city outskirts to the border with the greater Vienna area and includes both urban and rural areas.

Nature and recreation are a big plus here: due to the immediate proximity to the Vienna Woods and recreational areas such as the Steinhof grounds or Dehnepark, residents can walk, jog or simply enjoy the peace away from the city center.

At the same time, the infrastructure is well developed: Along major traffic arteries such as Hütteldorfer Straße and Linzer Straße, there are numerous shops for daily needs, supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants. Schools, kindergartens and doctors are also available in the district, which is particularly appreciated by families.

Another advantage of 1140 Vienna is the transport connections. The district is very well connected to the rest of the city by public transport. Hütteldorf is an important transport hub with the U4 terminus, the S-Bahn (S45/S50) and regional trains – from here you can reach the city center or the surrounding area in about 15 minutes.

In addition, several tram and bus lines run through the district, connecting the various neighborhoods of Penzing with each other and with neighboring districts. By car, you can also quickly get onto the A1 West motorway towards the west via the western exit. Yet despite the good connections, many parts of Penzing offer pleasantly quiet living.
