The street matters more than the district
A leafy avenue and a treeless canyon can sit in the same district. Check the map above for the exact address: every wohnwahn listing shows the street trees around it.

Where is Graz greenest to live?
Graz is greenest in Ries, Mariatrost and Andritz.
“Green” is easy to claim. wohnwahn measures it: the proximity to real green spaces, parks, woods and meadows, for every inhabited 250 m cell.
And the district average deceives: large outer districts look green because woods, fields and floodplains at the edge lift the percentage, exactly where almost no one lives. wohnwahn measures the green at your home, not at the district’s rim.
Graz’s greenest districts
Ranked by the median green-space proximity of inhabited residential cells, so the green that people actually live next to. Linked: the full district profile in the atlas.

Method: proximity to real green spaces (parks, woods, meadows from OpenStreetMap) per inhabited 250 m cell, bigger and closer green weighs more, clipped to the real district boundary. Deliberately NOT the district green-area percentage that the usual rankings use: that figure is inflated by woods, fields and floodplain at the unbuilt edge and says nothing about where people live. The number next to each district is the median street-tree count as extra context. Prices: asking prices per m² (condos), IMMOXX-Markterhebung (Kauf) / immomarktanalyse.at (Miete), as of Juni 2026.

The green map of Graz
Dark green means a lot of park, woodland or meadow nearby. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell with its green-space proximity score (bigger and closer green counts more).
Only inhabited cells are coloured. This measures proximity to green spaces per home; the street trees at each address are shown on the listing pages. Tap the map for the green score at that exact spot.
Green and still central
Green usually means the edge of town. These districts prove you can have both: a high green score AND within 25 minutes of Jakominiplatz by transit.
How to find a genuinely green flat
Green also means cooler
Street trees measurably cool their surroundings in summer. If you care about heat, green and cool go together, the cool-living page maps the heat load next to the green.
Courtyard trees don’t show on the street count
The cadastre counts public street trees. A quiet green courtyard is a bonus the number can’t see, worth asking the provider which way the flat faces.
Park nearby beats a few street trees
A home at the edge of the Schlossberg or the Leechwald is greener than its street-tree count suggests. Use the “What’s here?” click on the search map to see parks and water around an address.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the greenest district in Graz?
By green-space proximity it is Ries: the typical home there scores 88/100 for nearby parks, woods and meadows, ahead of Mariatrost and Andritz. Source: OpenStreetMap green spaces, evaluated per 250 m cell.
Is Andritz or Mariatrost really green, or does the statistic mislead?
The usual district rankings use the green-area percentage, and there large outer districts score high because a big part of their area is forest on the slopes, farmland and unbuilt land at the edge, where almost no one lives. That number says nothing about the green next to your home. wohnwahn instead measures the green space within walking distance of each inhabited spot, so a densely built block in a “green” district shows up honestly as what it is.
Do parks and woods count, or only street trees?
The ranking is built on real green spaces, parks, woods and meadows within walking distance, which is what most people mean by “living green”. In addition, every listing shows the public street trees around the exact address from the City of Graz tree register, as a second, concrete signal.
Where do you live green AND close to the centre?
Geidorf for example: a high green score and still ≈ 13 minutes from Jakominiplatz by transit. Green and central is rarer than green-and-far, but the data shows where the combination exists.
Do street trees really make a difference?
Yes, measurably: trees provide shade and evaporative cooling and improve air and well-being. That’s why wohnwahn shows the trees around every address and why green overlaps with the cool-living ranking.
How current is the tree data?
Green spaces from OpenStreetMap, street trees from the City of Graz tree register, evaluated per inhabited 250 m cell, refreshed monthly (as of October 2026).
