Your property in Berlin

Plush penthouses in prime locations and spacious apartments with spectacular views in boutique developments are among the most sought-after property in Berlin.

The city is perfect for turn-key investment properties thanks to its compelling property prices compared to European peers, reliable and robust rent increases, and excess demand versus supply.

Families considering relocating to Berlin can find larger apartments, or occasionally houses in pristine residential neighbourhoods.

Inside Berlin

The global city is a historical marvel, an artistic and musical hub, and increasingly a cutting-edge tech centre.

The vast, spread out city with its wide roads and grand architecture has peerless museums, galleries and monuments, and ranks highly in quality of life surveys thanks to its large green spaces, excellent education and superb healthcare.

Berlin is fast becoming a gastronomic leader too, with its 66 Michelin-starred restaurants putting it firmly in the top 20 European cities.

Landscape

The expansive city is extremely flat – six of the 10 fastest marathon times have happened in the city.

It is based in the north-east of Germany, which is part of the Northern European Plain that stretches from northern France to western Russia.

The highest elevations in the city are the Teufelsberg and the Müggelberge in the city’s outskirts, while the Kreuzberg hill is the highest point in the city.

Education

Berlin has nearly 20 international schools, including the Berlin Brandenburg International School, Berlin British School and Phorms Bilingual School Berlin-Süd, making it a perfect city for families considering relocating here.

In terms of universities, three in Berlin – Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Humboldt University of Berlin, and Free University of Berlin - are included in the country’s top 10 institutions and are within the top 120 universities globally.

Activities and Entertainment

It’s almost impossible in Berlin to walk more than a few steps without happening upon a significant historical monument, piece of significant architecture or famous square, such as the Charlottenburg Palace, the Brandenburg Gate or the Gendarmenmarkt square.

Some of the major sites are close to one another, making walking between them possible, or alternatively, boat trips along the River Spree provide a more leisurely way to view the city.

Besides its history, the city has an exceptional array of luxury boutiques and has a lively café, bar and restaurant scene, while its numerous parks, including Tiergarten, are perfect for stepping away from the busy streets.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the bathing lakes in Brandenburg, the north-eastern state surrounding Berlin, offer an idyllic setting for a swim, while its numerous parks are perfect for jogging and cycling around.

The city is extremely passionate about its football, with Hertha Berlin and 1. FC Union Berlin its top-flight teams.

Art and Culture

Berlin is a leading force when it comes to museums and galleries, with some of Europe’s best in the form of the Pergamonmuseum, the reconstructed Neues Museum, and the Gemäldegalerie, whose comprehensive European art collection is among the world’s finest.

A major focus of the city’s reflections on the past surrounds the world wars and the Nazi occupation, with significant sites such as the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie and the Wannsee Conference House among many in Berlin that explore this part of the country’s history.

The city has an exceptionally vibrant modern art culture too, with operas held in its three opera houses, various productions staged in its numerous theatres, and film celebrated at its famous Berlinale Film Festival.

Food and Drink

Berlin enjoys hearty food such as currywurst, königsberger klopse (meatballs) and eisbein (pork knuckle) but is increasingly developing an avart-garde gastronomic scene with its 66 Michelin-starred restaurants.

The city is well-known for its bread, with walnut sourdough bread being a particular favourite, while the German doughnut – known as the Berliner – is ubiquitous.

The Saale-Unstrut wine region is the closest to Berlin, and is one of the most northerly wine regions in the world. It is known for its Müller-Thurgau, the most widely planted grape variety, as well as Pinot Blanc, Silvaner and Riesling./

Accessibility

The new Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which is expected to be the country’s third busiest with a projected 34 million passengers annually, provides excellent domestic and international air links.
