Kreuzberg:
The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district is the smallest of Berlin's inner-city districts.
It has extensive quarters of intact Wilhelminian tenement buildings, with a typical urban mixture of uses: apartments, shops, cinemas, "Kneipen" (bars), small skilled trade enterprises, and colourful street markets. Public transport connections are excellent, and the district has a special quality to offer to all those who are interested in living in the city, with the sport and recreation facilities of the Volkspark in Friedrichshain, or the Viktoria Park in Kreuzberg, with its central monument designed by Schinkel and even its own vineyard!
Berlin:
The capital of Germany is dynamic, cosmopolitan and creative, allowing for every kind of lifestyle. East meets West in the metropolis at the heart of a changing Europe.
After experiencing a staggering drop in housing prices since the early 90s, Berlin’s property market is springing back to life. No other property market in Europe offers such undervalued property prices and a solid rental market.
Rental Potential:
The trend goes to properties which are situated in medium/good locations near the town centre.
Berlin: 88% of the habitants are renting properties - 12% are property owners.
Germany has a strong rental culture and tenants tend to live in a property for many years. Therefore, they treat rented property as if it was their own, and this works to the advantages of the owner. Property is let without furniture so tenants must provide their own. This situation might seem a good prospect for investors looking for regular income while they wait for their property to appreciate. |
