Vienna median: € 7,605/m²
The range: from social-housing districts to the Innere Stadt
The most affordable are Favoriten (€ 5,472), Simmering (€ 5,701), Brigittenau (€ 5,997). These are large districts with lots of subsidised housing, good metro links and, honestly, some louder corners too; the range within each district is wide.
The most expensive are Innere Stadt (€ 19,555), Wieden (€ 9,953), Alsergrund (€ 9,588). The 1st district is an outlier, which is why we compare against the median rather than the average: a single palais sale would distort the picture.
Important: the district value averages over very different areas. The same flat costs less on the noisy Gürtel than three lanes further in a quiet Grätzl. That is exactly what the Neighbourhood Atlas is for, it shows every area individually.
And rents?
Asking rents in Vienna average around € 20 per square metre per month (including service charges; well below or above depending on location and condition). We will publish district-level rents once enough of our own listings provide a solid basis, we would rather not calculate than calculate poorly.
For many pre-war flats there is no free market price at all: under the Austrian "Richtwert" system the rent is capped by law, with surcharges and deductions for location. What that means for your rent is covered in the Richtwert guide.

What actually drives the price
Behind every district price are location factors you can measure. wohnwahn shows exactly those for every address:
- Accessibility
- Real transit minutes to the centre instead of beeline. Metro proximity is the strongest single price factor.
- Quiet
- Traffic noise costs quality of life and lowers the price; the official noise map shows it street by street.
- Green & climate
- Parks, trees and water cool the area. Heat islands get priced in more with every summer.
- Sun
- A shaded ground-floor courtyard and a sunny 5th floor are two different flats, in price too.

Common questions about Vienna property prices
What does a flat in Vienna cost per m²?
Depending on the district, condominiums are offered between about € 5,472 (Favoriten) and € 19,555 (Innere Stadt) per square metre. The median across all 23 districts is around € 7,605/m² (asking prices, as of December 2025).
Which Vienna district is the most affordable?
Measured by asking prices for condominiums, Favoriten (1100) is the most affordable at around € 5,472/m², followed by Simmering and Brigittenau. Within each district the range is wide though, the exact location matters.
Which district is the most expensive?
The Innere Stadt (1010) at around € 19,555/m², far ahead of Wieden and Alsergrund. The 1st district is a special market of palais and rooftop objects.
Are these actual purchase prices?
No, they are asking prices from a published price index (immopreise.at / derStandard-Preisspiegel, as of December 2025). Actual closings are often a few percent lower. Land-register-based prices are sold by commercial data providers; for orientation per district, asking prices work well.
What does renting in Vienna cost on average?
Asking rents average around € 20/m² per month including service charges. For many pre-war flats the "Richtwert" system additionally caps the rent by law, there the legally permissible amount is often lower than the asking rent.
Are prices in Vienna rising or falling right now?
After the interest-rate dip of 2022 to 2024, asking prices in Vienna have largely stabilised, with differences by segment: new builds remain scarce (few completions), renovation-needy old stock has become more negotiable. We deliberately do not publish per-district forecasts.
