Property in Hamburg: our districts

Our office is at Eppendorfer Baum and we walk through this district every day. Eppendorf is where we do most of our valuations, and where the difference between a good and a very good apartment is most expensive.

Winterhude is large, and the price depends on which Winterhude the apartment is in: on the Alster bank, in the period quarter around Mühlenkamp, in the listed Jarrestadt or in the north by the Stadtpark. We sell here regularly and know the differences street by street.

Harvestehude is the most expensive residential area in Hamburg north of the Elbe, and selling here works differently: quieter, with fewer buyers and higher demands on documents and presentation. Our office is five minutes from Klosterstern.

Rotherbaum is two districts in one: Pöseldorf and the Alster bank with villas and prices like Harvestehude, and the Grindel quarter around the university with period apartments where Hamburg studies, researches and stays young.

Eimsbüttel is the densest and liveliest of the districts we sell in: almost 60,000 people, period blocks, Osterstrasse, and demand that has not let up for years. Here we most often sell apartments between 50 and 90 square metres.

Ottensen was a workers' and industrial district and is now one of the most sought-after quarters west of the Alster: small-scale, with factory lofts, period buildings and the Elbe within walking distance. Sellers here have many buyers and still need to look closely.

Blankenese is the only district where we value more houses than apartments. Villas on Elbchaussee, captains' houses in the Treppenviertel, family homes in the hinterland: a sale here needs time, discretion and buyers one knows.
