Why is it primed for growth?
Traditionally viewed as more conservative than its counterparts in the east, today the district is experiencing a quiet renaissance, with a growing youthful hipness. The burgeoning scene, centred around the concept shopping mall BIKINI Berlin and neighbouring 25Hours Hotel, is young, cool and trendy.
My favourite bits:
The 3,000ha Grunewald forest, which is shared between this district and neighbouring Steglitz-Zehlendorf, dominates life in the area. Mountain bikers speed along dedicated bike paths, avoiding the local wildlife including the occasional wild boar.
What will my money buy me?
A spacious three- or four-bedroom new-build apartment right by the Ku’damm can be upwards of €1 million. However, a modest studio with a balcony in a quieter area will cost you around €230,000.
One thing the locals like to keep secret:
The Klausener Kiez area provides an easy-going, small-town feeling in the middle of Berlin. Here you will find charming cafés, quaint pubs, small antique shops and relaxed residents enjoying the laid-back atmosphere of the neighbourhood.
