Water geometry from OpenStreetMap + a water-cooling score per 250 m cell
“By the water” is a favourite in every listing. wohnwahn measures it: 4,467 water features across St. Pölten and a cooling score per 250 m cell.
And we say honestly where the trade-offs are: the Traisen is regulated and narrow, and away from its banks there is no water nearby in St. Pölten.
No waterside listings online right now.
Save a search and we’ll email you when a home near the water comes in.
Deeper blue means closer to open water. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell; the Traisen, the Mühlbach and the bathing ponds in the north count, culverted ditches and small brooks do not.
Only inhabited cells are coloured. This is a proximity model for the big open waters, NOT an official flood map. Tap the map for the water-proximity score at that exact spot.
Our data shows how close and how cooling the water is around an address. Whether you actually see it depends on the floor, the orientation and the building, that’s what the listing and a viewing tell you.
The Traisen is a regulated river with a cycle path, good for walking and for the cooler air. The ponds in the north are for swimming, but they are further from the centre and crowded in summer.
Only a handful of areas score above zero at all. We show those instead of claiming a difference that does not exist: if you want water, look at these few strips, and for everywhere else this topic simply does not apply.
That is the most honest sentence on this page. In most parts of this market the score is zero, because there simply is no larger body of water nearby. Here a waterside location is the exception, not the feature you sort the city by.
The evaluation is being computed.
wohnwahn measures water proximity and cooling, not flood risk. The Traisen is regulated; anyone planning to live beside it should check the official hazard zone plan of Lower Austria.
The Traisen runs through the city: cycle path, cooler air, central. The ponds in the north are for swimming, but they lie outside town and get busy on hot weekends.
Several districts combine water proximity with good transit; the ranking above shows the trade-off.
