Next Neighbourhoods 2021: Danube Riverside, Vienna, Austria
Döbling, otherwise known as the 19th District, sits on the Danube, and is surrounded by vineyards. The waterfront area blends vibrant city life with a relaxing vacation vibe. A 15-minute drive puts you in Vienna city centre, while a five-minute journey in the other direction takes you to the historic town of Klosterneuburg with its Baroque abbey and excellent international schools.

Why is it primed for growth?
Situated by the river, in the area of the Kuchelau harbour, the location is unique, because the ability to live by and access the waterfront is restricted elsewhere in the city. The affordable luxury of the area and good connections to the schools, culture and amenities of both Vienna centre and Klosterneuburg are the main drivers of growth in this laidback neighbourhood.
My favourite bits:
Döbling’s private beaches and bathing piers, boat moorings, sports and wellness facilities, including fantastic hiking routes through the local pine forests and vineyards, are firm favourites. Even better, all this can be found just 15 minutes away from Vienna city centre.
What will my money buy me?
€1.5 million will buy a large luxurious three- bedroom penthouse with two terraces, a balcony and amazing views over the water. Budget €930,000 for a three-bedroom apartment with huge garden, terrace and loggia.
One thing the locals like to keep secret:
The charming village of Kahlenbergerdorf, with its small lanes winding around the picturesque parish church and restaurants specialising in excellent fish, fried chicken and wine. The most beautiful view of the village, the Danube and Vienna can be enjoyed after a wonderful walk through the vineyards from the Heurigen Hirt (a typical wine tavern).
