Apartments in Berlin Charlottenburg

The Charlottenburg district begins in the heart of downtown Berlin, then stretches out deep into the western part of the city – which is why Berliners largely refer to this neighbourhood simply as City West.

Many of the smaller neighbourhoods within Charlottenburg – the areas around Kurfürstendamm or Savignyplatz, for example – are reinventing themselves constantly, while always remaining connected by charming streets lined with beautiful prewar buildings and long-established shops. Equally inviting for shopping, strolling, and living are the sophisticated modern buildings around the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and further west towards Halensee and Westend. No wonder demand for apartments here, both to rent and to buy, has remained consistently high in recent years, unlike in some other parts of Berlin.

At the same time, a construction boom has led to an increase in the price and value of apartments, which remain especially appealing to young people drawn to the neighbourhood’s charming atmosphere. The proportion of families living in Charlottenburg is 20 percent.

In 2018, the price per square metre for an apartment in a new building in Charlottenburg averaged €7,116 , up from €6,477 in 2017 – an increase of 9.87 percent. For a 60 square metre apartment in Charlottenburg , that amounts to a purchase price of around €427,000 ; for an 80 square metre apartment, about €569,280 . Spacious new apartments of 120 square metres cost around €853,920 . Naturally, prices go up for extras like balcony, roof garden, lavish interior, or optimal orientation that provides for unusually good sunlight and views. Given the tight housing market in Berlin right now and the low level of residential construction activity in relation to demand, a further increase in purchase prices for apartments in Charlottenburg can be expected, especially given the neighbourhood’s high desirability.
