Whether an elegant old-building apartment with double doors or a modern first occupancy with top fittings – in 1020 Vienna you'll find a wide variety of apartment types to suit every taste. Typical for Leopoldstadt are both renovated historic buildings near the city center and new-build apartments in projects around the Prater.

Typical city apartments have about 50 to 120 m² of living space, depending on the number of rooms. Small 1- to 2-room apartments are ideal for singles and students, while 3- to 4-room apartments offer enough space for families.

The rental prices vary depending on location and amenities. In sought-after areas like the Praterstraße or near the Augarten (prime locations!) you do pay more, but you live particularly centrally or in green surroundings. Simple historic apartments without an elevator are often somewhat cheaper, while modern apartments in new buildings with a balcony or terrace are correspondingly more expensive.

Tip: On ground floor levels you can sometimes even find apartments with their own garden or terrace – ideal if you want a bit of outdoor space in the densely built-up city area.

Note: Operating costs (for property management, water, waste, etc.) are added to the net rent and should be taken into account when choosing an apartment!

Leopoldstadt scores with a excellent connection and infrastructure. From the transport hub Praterstern you're about 5 minutes from Stephansplatz by U1 and quickly at the university quarter by U2.

Leisure is also well catered for: Whether an afternoon in the Wurstelprater or a walk in the green – boredom won't set in here. In quiet residential areas near the parks (e.g. in the Förstergasse am Augarten) you can enjoy the idyll, while around the lively Praterstern urban life pulses. It is precisely this variety that makes Leopoldstadt so livable.
