Bergheimer Platz - Wilmersdorf

One to three bedroom apartments perfectly situated between coffee shops, bistros, florists and the marvellous eighteenth-century church with its bell tower that dominates the skyline above the tree-lined avenues. This development consists of 80 apartments surrounding a private garden and children’s play area, with two schools and three U-Bahn stations all within half a mile’s stroll, Bergheimer Platz is both a beautiful and a highly desirable place to live.    Over half of the apartments in Bergheimer Platz are now owned by the tenants themselves. When you consider that in the rest of Berlin the statistic is just 15%, this speaks volumes. Along with the option of a 10-year rental guarantee that offers 10 years’ income, 10 years’ free maintenance and an interior renovation of the apartment – not forgetting the amazingly low prices for property in the capital city of Europe’s largest economy – this really is as close as you can get to the perfect investment vehicle.   The area Green Wilmersdorf is a great place to live, with its elegant zones of small apartments, coffee shops and bistros. This district has the highest real estate prices in the area and is a first-class address, so it is no surprise that it is popular with professionals and Berlin’s elite too. The Grunewald forest covers half of its total area, giving Wilmersdorf the feeling of an idyllic village in the country – yet it is just half a mile from the famous shopping street of the Ku-Damm, right in the centre of the city.
