Securing your homebase should be top of the list!
What are the prices for sale or rent per square meter (1m2 = 39.3701 inch)?
The following list was published by BUWOG Group and EHL Immobilien on their annual residential market report and gives a good overview about cost of Living in Vienna in their different districts.
BUWOG Group and EHL Immobilien are producing this report on an annual basis. So if you want to know about their ongoing projects or go deeper into details about each district just see their full report under: BUWOG
Like in every city those districts which are better connected to the public transport are placed top on the price-list. (see underground map)
But remember Vienna is – compared to some other large mega-citys very small. So as long as you can afford – stay within the inner districts 1-9 or if you have to move more outside than go for 13, and 18, 19 district to be on the sunny side.
If you get a flat opposite the danube – you will have to take a longer travel distance to get into town. This area is mainly new build “blocks” on flat land.
If you would like to go for a house in Vienna or outside in one of the lovely villages nearby like

in the inner distric (1010) and don’t forget the mundane; figure out what electricity, water, trash etc might cost you extra.
Here are some popular useful internet pages who offer good access to the propertymarket beside the usual Remax and Engel&Völkers – which can be very pricy issues.
- Immobilien.net (currently unfortunately only in german available)
- Willhaben.at (currently unfortunately only in german available)
Keep in mind:
If you buy from a local – he also might help you organizing your move to your new home with some locals.
Remember it is always good to have someone from “inside” to get the work done.
As everywhere – right at the beginning it is not so easy to make friends with the locals.
So this might be a good start.
