Real estate market in Berlin-Köpenick

In addition to picturesque Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau villas, Köpenick is primarily home to country houses and single-family homes with spacious lots and waterfront locations, as well as apartment buildings. As the district has become increasingly attractive as a place to live since the construction of the Adlershof Technology Park, various new construction projects have been implemented since then. Currently, the young scientists and students who have moved here are showing particular interest in the newly built student and micro apartments. In the future, however, they will emerge as a financially strong group of buyers, and their demand for attractive new construction projects will have a positive impact on value development. Although further residential units are planned, the real estate market is currently in a quieter development phase than population growth. As a result, demand is outstripping supply here as well, providing a boost to the attractiveness of the residential location.

Treptow-Köpenick: Real estate supply and development

Köpenick has both condominiums in multi-family properties and a large stock of single- and two-family houses. In addition, there are many modern residential complexes and plans for further new buildings. In particular, the development of students into highly qualified researchers and employees, is expected to further increase the demand for new residential properties. The advancing density in Berlin will strengthen this development. These factors make Köpenick an attractive and promising real estate location.

How are real estate prices developing in Treptow-Köpenick?

The rise in real estate prices that has become established in the capital in recent years has now - after a slight delay - also reached Köpenick. At present, it can be assumed that this trend will continue. This once again underlines the high attractiveness of the location.

Current rents and development

Köpenick, which is particularly popular with young people, is attracting more and more students and young researchers to the outskirts of Berlin. Although rents are rising steadily - as is the case everywhere in the capital - they are relatively low compared to the central districts. And even compared to its neighboring districts Treptow and Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Köpenick fares better in terms of percentage rent increases.

The population of the area

In Köpenick, a total of almost 136,000 residents are spread over an area of almost 130 square kilometers, of which about 66 square kilometers are used for forest area and about 21 square kilometers for water area. Incidentally, in the whole of Berlin there are 2,560 hectares of areas under nature protection and of these 1,197 hectares fall on Köpenick. Thus, more than 50 percent of the nature reserves are located in Köpenick, which is again a very clear indicator of the local recreation factor in this district. Most of the population is between 25 and 55 years old and earns very well: almost 27 percent have a monthly household net income of more than 3,200 euros.
