Moabit
Centrally located Moabit with its beautiful old buildings and quiet residential streets was long considered an insider tip. In the former industrial and workers’ district, which is surrounded by waterways and canals is a lot of historic, mostly renovated building fabric, a mature infrastructure and numerous cafés and restaurants. Meanwhile, the increasing popularity of the neighbouring district of Wedding is also rubbing off on Moabit. A district with a lot of positive development potential.
Post-industrial discovery
Moabit has always been lively. Situated between leafy canals and the Spree River, the district developed into a highly populated working-class neighbourhood in the course of industrialisation. With reunification, Moabit moved back into the centre of Berlin. Today, the district north of Tiergarten is multicultural and popular with students, but also with young families who appreciate the wide range of schools and leisure facilities. The main railway station and the local transport network ensure perfect connections. The lively Turmstraße with its small shops, supermarkets and restaurants, the new Schultheiss-Quartier with its diverse shopping opportunities and the historic Arminiusmarkthalle with its wide range of culinary specialities from Peru, Austria, Vietnam, Canada, Lebanon or Italy – Moabit has it all. Word is spreading: the manageable range of properties is in high demand. The price trend reflects the growing interest in the centrally located district.
