What should you consider when looking for a home in Vienna

Where you’ll live depends largely on your personal preferences and budget.

If you’re a young professional you may gravitate towards the inner districts and their trendy neighbourhoods that cater to the multicultural tastes of its inhabitants.
Cafes, restaurants, galleries, small boutiques, specialist shops and a lively nightlife are the hallmarks of these districts.
You won’t need a car as the public transportation network is exceptionally good and safe.

If you’re a family with young children and/or pets, you may wish to live in the outer districts where there are even more green spaces and a wide choice of international kindergartens and schools, plus swimming pools, sports grounds and parks.

Vienna is a safe city, so wherever you choose is the right choice.
