About this apartment
The condominium offered here is located in a corner building on a quiet street with plenty of parking spaces, and within a few minutes’ walk you can reach Barbarossaplatz and the University of Cologne.
The owners’ association consists of a total of 14 residential units, and the apartment described here is located on the third floor.
Through the entrance to the building—with intercom system—you reach your apartment on the third floor. The apartment entrance door is specially secured, although this would not be particularly necessary either in this building or in the area. You enter directly into the hallway, from which you can access Room 1, the large living kitchen and the bathroom. The fuse box is located inside the apartment, and an intercom system is installed.
Room 1 has a subsequently installed partition wall, which can also be connected to the living kitchen with minor remodeling work.
Centrally located is a large communal room equipped with a kitchenette including a cooktop (IKEA, expandable) and built-in refrigerator. The kitchen elements can be expanded. Both are included in the purchase price and can be claimed as tax-deductible upon purchase. This room is so large that, for example, a sofa and television could also be placed here. In any case, it is a pleasant meeting place for everyone.
The second room is accessed from the living kitchen. Both rooms naturally have entrance doors—the kitchen is designed as an open-plan space. Both rooms are relatively similar in size, and all rooms are equipped with laminate flooring.
The modern, white-tiled bathroom features a bathtub, a modern towel radiator and a small exterior window.
The cellar room belonging to the apartment is elongated in shape. There is also a bicycle room on the ground floor, which can also be opened from the sidewalk. This means that bicycles do not have to be pushed through the stairwell.
The condominium is located in the heart of Cologne’s Neustadt-Süd, one of the most popular residential neighborhoods in Cologne’s city center and one known for its stable property values. The University of Cologne can also be reached on foot within a few minutes. The location is characterized by a successful combination of an urban lifestyle, excellent infrastructure and established residential quality.
The central location offers excellent local amenities: supermarkets, bakeries, retailers, doctors, pharmacies and a diverse range of restaurants are all within walking distance. In particular, the nearby Zülpicher The street, with its wide range of restaurants, cafés and cultural facilities, shapes the lively surroundings.
Several green spaces are available in the immediate vicinity for relaxation and leisure. Volksgarten and the Inner Green Belt offer spacious open areas, opportunities for walking and sports, and represent a high recreational value—an uncommon quality feature for a central location.
The transport connections are excellent: Several tram and bus lines are within a short walking distance and provide quick connections to Cologne city centre, the main railway station and other districts. The fact that the University of Cologne can be reached within a few minutes makes this property particularly attractive to investors.
Within a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the Eifelplatz and Barbarossaplatz light rail stops, the latter being one of the most important transport hubs in southern Cologne. From here, light rail lines 12, 15, 16 and 18 operate, providing quick and direct connections to Cologne city centre/main railway station, Ehrenfeld, Chorweiler and towards Hürth, Brühl and Bonn.
Despite its central location, the apartment is situated in a quiet residential area with little through traffic. The neighbourhood is characterised by well-maintained apartment buildings and a stable residential structure.
Overall, this is a highly sought-after central location with a high quality of life, sustainable appreciation in value and excellent rental potential.
Cologne South railway station is also within walking distance, providing optimal connections to regional rail services. Among others, regional railway lines RB24 and RB26 and Regional-Express lines RE1 and RE5 (RRX) stop here. This provides quick connections to Cologne Central Station, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Aachen and other cities in the region.
Several bus lines complement the local public transport network.
