Houses to rent in Lower Austria
Lower Austria is where the house market actually happens. What explains the price is almost always the same thing: the distance to Vienna, and within the municipality the distance to the station. Between a spot near the station and the edge of the village often lies half an hour, every day, in both directions.

Where houses are currently listed to rent, broken down by administrative district. The link opens the search for exactly that district. Lower Austria has 24 of them; the ones with listings are here.
A house outside the city is paid for in travel time. Exactly how much is in no listing, and the name of the place does not answer it. These pages do.
For every municipality around Vienna, the real public transport time to Stephansplatz, calculated per inhabited location rather than from the village sign. Plus the spread between the station and the outskirts, which reaches 30 minutes in some places.
See the municipality ranking →Statistik Austria reports a building land price for 573 Lower Austrian municipalities, from 12 to 879 euros per square metre. No other figure explains as well why two places in the same district differ so much.
See land prices →Lower Austria supports both renting and buying through its housing subsidy scheme, with its own income limits and deadlines. Our own page explains who qualifies.
See the housing subsidy →Sunlight per facade, calculated from official building heights in the neighbourhood. For a house on a slope the opposite hillside decides, not the compass.
Open the sun check →A building with no more than two self-contained dwellings is fully exempt from the Austrian Tenancy Act (§ 1 para 2 no 5 MRG). No reference rent, no ceiling, no rules on fixed terms, no statutory protection against notice. What counts is the contract, which makes it more important here than for any flat.
In an unrenovated detached house it can match the base rent in winter. The energy certificate is mandatory for every letting and belongs before the viewing, not before the signature. A house rated F costs a multiple of a renovated one to run.
No building manager settles the accounts for a house. Sewage, waste, chimney sweep, garden and snow clearing are either in the contract or they are not, and in the exempt range upkeep may be assigned differently too. Go through those lines one by one before signing.
The most common mistake when searching outside the city is to look only at the municipality. Within one place, being near the station often saves half an hour each way compared with the outskirts. A house ten minutes from the suburban railway in a slow municipality beats the cheaper one at the field edge of a fast one.
The ones where the listings actually are. The list above shows today’s picture and changes with every new listing. Structurally these are the districts along the rail corridors to Vienna and around St. Pölten, Krems and Wiener Neustadt.
There is no reliable province-wide figure. Houses fall outside the Tenancy Act, so there is no reference rent, and the spread between the Waldviertel and the Vienna fringe is too wide for an average. The official land price of the municipality is the better guide.
Usually not. Houses with one or two dwellings are fully exempt from the Tenancy Act (§ 1 para 2 no 5 MRG). The rent is freely agreed, a fixed term needs no minimum length, and notice follows the civil code and the contract. A house with three or more dwellings is different, there the Act applies at least in part.
It varies widely by municipality and location, from around half an hour to more than an hour at the edge of poorly connected places. We calculated the public transport time for every inhabited location, not from the village centre. The ranking is in our commuting chapter.
Set your priorities once and the search orders by them: a short trip to Vienna, a quiet location, budget. And because rented houses go fast, a saved search pays off here in particular. No account, no cost.
