• Varied and affordable: Simmering is a growing district with an urban character and lower rent levels – ideal for families, students and anyone looking for more living space for their money.
• Good location with lots of green: Between the Gasometer, the Central Cemetery and Kaiserebersdorf, 1110 Vienna offers an attractive mix of city and nature – with numerous parks and quiet residential areas.
• Strong transport connections: The U3 connects Simmering directly with the city center, supplemented by S-Bahn, trams and buses. Car drivers also benefit from the proximity to the A23.
• Broad housing offer: From classic old buildings to renovated municipal housing and new apartments with balcony or terrace – the offer is diverse and suitable for all life situations.
• Modernized district with perspective: Many residential complexes have been renovated or newly built in recent years – Simmering is developing dynamically and is becoming increasingly attractive for living.

In 1110 Vienna you will mainly find the following rental apartments:

• 2-room apartments (approx. 50–60 m²): Ideal for singles, couples or students, with a good price-performance ratio.
• 3–4-room family apartments (80–100 m²): Mostly in housing estates or municipal buildings with access to green areas, practical and family-friendly.
• Old and new buildings: Old buildings with a generous sense of space, usually without an elevator. New buildings with first occupancy, modern fittings, balcony/terrace, underground parking.
• Apartments with private outdoor space: Balconies, loggias, roof terraces are in demand – some early first-occupancy units and row-house-like complexes even offer gardens.

Rental prices in 1110 Vienna are on average slightly below the Vienna citywide average. Currently, in Simmering you pay around €16–17 per square meter of living space (including operating costs) – depending on location, size and condition of the apartment, the rent can vary. Simpler old apartments without special fittings or apartments outside the hotspots are often available for less, sometimes under €15 per m². Modern first-occupancy apartments with a balcony or terrace in immediate U3 proximity or in newly built residential complexes can, however, be at the upper end of the price scale (about €18–20/m²).

In absolute numbers this means: A typical 2-room main-rent apartment of about 50 m² usually costs in Simmering around €750 to €900 rent per month (warm, i.e. including operating and ancillary costs). Smaller 1-room apartments (studios) under 40 m² are sometimes already available from around €500 to €600 per month, which is very affordable for Vienna. Larger rental apartments with 3 or 4 rooms (e.g. 80–100 m² living space) range depending on fittings at about €1,100 to €1,500 per month.

Factors such as year of construction, fittings and floor play a major role: an old building without an elevator and with basic fittings will command a significantly lower rent than a new-build penthouse with air conditioning and a garage. In addition to the monthly rent, tenants must plan for the security deposit when renting an apartment – it is common in Vienna to require three months' gross rent as a security deposit. Many rental contracts in Simmering are also fixed-term (often a 5- or 10-year term). This does not usually affect the monthly rent, but tenants should be aware that extensions or apartment searches after the term expires must be planned for. Overall, Simmering is considered a more affordable district: you often get more living space for your money here than in more central locations.

In 1110 Vienna, residential locations near the subway are particularly sought-after addresses. Around the U3 Gasometer station there is a modern district with shopping facilities, eateries and trendy apartments – including the converted Gasometers. The surroundings of Enkplatz and Zippererstraße also score with good infrastructure and quick connections to the center.

On the border with the 10th district (Favoriten), some locations in Simmering benefit from the proximity to the new main train station and the Sonnwendviertel. The Helmut Zilk Park area in the Sonnwendviertel is mostly in Favoriten but borders directly on Simmering. Apartments in the area around Helmut Zilk Park are highly sought after because you have a large park on your doorstep and can use the infrastructure around the main train station. For renters searching in the 11th district, it is therefore worth also looking at properties on the district border with Favoriten – for example north of Favoritenstraße, where the transition between the 10th and 11th districts is located. Here a fascinating mix of both worlds is emerging: urban new-build flair from the Sonnwendviertel and the tranquillity of the adjacent Simmering residential neighborhoods.

Within the district itself, the new development area on Leberberg as well as the surroundings of Simmeringer Hauptstraße are considered popular residential areas. Further south, Kaiserebersdorf with new housing estates (e.g. in Nussbaumallee or on Leberweg) offers family-friendly living with lots of green. The area around the Central Cemetery is also attractive: the huge green space serves as a recreational area with a park-like character.

Many rental apartments in Simmering impress with good fittings, practical layouts and extras that make living comfortable. New-build apartments in particular often offer modern standards tailored to the needs of today's everyday living.

Especially in new buildings or renovated first-occupancy apartments, the kitchen is often fully equipped, so you can move in immediately.

• In most cases there is a modern fitted kitchen – including stove, refrigerator, extractor hood and often also a dishwasher.
• The bathrooms often have a bathtub, a shower or both.
• A separate toilet is also standard in many apartments and increases everyday comfort.

Besides the visual fittings, the practical room layout is also important – especially for families or shared flats.

• Many floor plans are centrally accessible, meaning: every room is directly accessible from the hallway – without walk-through rooms.
• Almost every apartment includes a small storage room, ideal for household appliances, supplies or seasonal items.
• An own cellar compartment is almost always part of Viennese rental apartments and provides additional storage outside the living area.

A lot of usable outdoor space is an important criterion for many tenants – and in Simmering it is often part of the apartment.

• Most new-build apartments have a balcony, a loggia or a terrace – often with a view of greenery or quiet courtyards.
• Attic apartments often offer generous roof terraces with plenty of space and a view.
• On ground-floor apartments there are occasionally even small gardens – ideal for families with children or pets.

The residential building itself should also play a role in the choice. In Simmering many options are possible – from basic amenities to upscale new buildings with extras.

• In multi-storey buildings there is almost always an elevator – especially in new buildings, but increasingly also in renovated old buildings.
• Many houses are designed to be barrier-free and are therefore suitable for elderly people or families with strollers.
• In modern residential complexes there are often underground garages or parking spaces, which is a big advantage for car owners.
• Communal rooms such as bicycle cellars, laundries or waste rooms are also often part of the basic equipment.

• Affordable rents: Simmering is one of the cheaper Viennese districts. The average rent per m² is below the Vienna average – rental apartments are therefore more affordable here than in more central locations. This makes the district attractive for anyone on a limited budget who still wants to live in Vienna.
• Varied housing offer: In 1110 Vienna there is everything from a small single apartment to a spacious family apartment. 2-room apartments are particularly common, but larger 3–4-room apartments are also available. You will also find both old buildings with character and new-build projects with first occupancy – the selection of rental apartments covers all preferences.
• Good transport connections: The Simmering district is very well connected to public transport. The U3 (stations Simmering, Enkplatz, Zippererstraße, Gasometer) brings you quickly to the center. In addition, S-Bahn, buses and trams run. Despite its peripheral location, you can reach almost any part of Vienna in 20–30 minutes – ideal for commuters and those often on the move.
• Family-friendly environment: Simmering offers numerous kindergartens, schools and playgrounds, which makes it attractive for families. In residential areas such as Leberberg or around Hyblerpark, families find lots of green space and quiet residential streets. At the same time, there are supermarkets and doctors on site, so the infrastructure also fits everyday life with children.
• Things tenants should know: When apartment hunting in 1110 Vienna, note that many offers are fixed-term. A deposit of three months' rent is almost always required. If you rent through an agent, you must also expect a commission (usually 2 months' rent + VAT) – however, there are also commission-free cooperative or direct rentals. Thanks to the still moderate demand in Simmering, you often have a bit more time during the apartment search than in the fiercely contested districts within the Gürtel, but good offers are also quickly taken here.
