For sale is a vacant 2-room apartment on Lessingstraße in Karlsruhe-Weststadt, built in 1988. The property is part of the Moninger/Studienresidenz area and therefore clearly differs from many classic pre-war or post-war apartments—where buyers today are especially anxious about open trades, heating issues, or later surprises.

Instead, here you find the solid construction of 1988 combined with district heating, an elevator, an underground garage, and an apartment that has been comprehensively renovated in separate ownership.

+++ HISTORY & SUBSTANCE: THE "MONINGER FOUNDATION" +++

• Solid construction for the long term: The building was originally constructed on behalf of the Moninger Brewery (presumably as a beer storage facility).

• Concrete specialty construction: The extremely solid construction with extensive use of concrete (especially in the basement area) ensures above-average structural integrity and longevity.

• Unique sense of space: An indication of the building’s historical use is the impressive ceiling heights of 3.50 m to 4.00 m. This creates a spacious, airy living environment (especially in the staircase) that is hard to find in typical 1980s buildings.

This is exactly what makes this offer interesting today: Many buyers in 2026 are not looking for a “property with potential” but rather a home or investment with as clear a starting point as possible. This is where the apartment really shines.

The floor plan is efficient and versatile: Both rooms are directly accessible from the hallway. This makes the apartment appealing to several buyer groups simultaneously:

• OWNER-OCCUPIERS who wish to live in a great Weststadt location without the stress of renovations

• SINGLES or YOUNG COUPLES looking for flexible use of 2 rooms

• THE PARENT MODEL, where one room can be used by your own child and the other rented out to help offset financing

• Later flexible rental options for singles, commuters, young professionals, or even as a quiet two-person shared apartment

PRICE STRUCTURE:

• APARTMENT: €199,999

• NEW KITCHEN (down payment): €7,500

• UNDERGROUND PARKING SPACE: €20,000 (individual parking spot, not a duplex)

• TOTAL PRICE: €227,499

The large balcony (facing east) spans both rooms. Together with the elevator, storage room, bicycle room, and individual underground parking space, this creates an unusually complete overall package for this location.

+++ HOUSING CHARGES / RESERVE FUNDS +++

Total monthly housing charge (apartment and underground garage): approx. €262.58

Proportional reserve funds (apartment and underground garage): approx. €3,250

According to current knowledge, no special assessments have been approved.

+++ TRAM STOPS +++

• Lessingstraße (Gartenstraße): approx. 300 m

• Employment Agency (Brauerstraße): approx. 500 m

• Otto-Sachs-Straße (Brauerstraße): approx. 650 m

• Weinbrennerplatz: approx. 750 m

• Mathystraße: approx. 1.2 km

+++ PUBLIC TRANSPORT +++

• City Center / Kaiserallee / Kaiserstraße: approx. 900–1,300 m

• Karlsruhe Central Station: approx. 2.5 km

• Brauerstraße / Südtangente (B10): within short distance

Lessingstraße is among the most sought-after residential areas in Karlsruhe-Weststadt. The combination of a quiet residential street, a well-established environment, a short distance to the city center, and excellent transport connections make the location attractive for both owner-occupiers and future rentals.

+++ UNIVERSITIES +++

• ZKM / HfG: approx. 550 m

• Academy of Fine Arts: approx. 1.2 km

• Karlshochschule: approx. 1.4 km

• Karlsruhe University – University of Applied Sciences (HKA), formerly Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences: approx. 1.5 km

• KIT Campus South (formerly University of Karlsruhe TH): approx. 3.2 km

• University of Music / Schloss Gottesaue: approx. 3.6 km

This is particularly advantageous for the parent model: Instead of purchasing a small 1-room apartment solely for your child, this 2-room apartment offers the possibility to use one room yourself while renting out the other, thereby significantly offsetting the financing.

+++ SUPERMARKETS WITHIN A 1-KM RADIUS +++

• Lidl, REWE, Penny: approx. 300–400 m

• Alnatura Bio Super Natural Market: approx. 600 m

• Fresh Tip: Gutenbergplatz – three times weekly farmers market: approx. 700 m

• CAP-Market: approx. 900 m

• Netto Marken-Discount: approx. 950 m

Not only has the appearance been refreshed, but the critical areas have been fundamentally renovated. This is exactly what sets the apartment apart from many comparable offerings where, after purchase, one has to organize electricians, plumbers, window installers, and kitchen fitters.

+++ RENOVATIONS PERFORMED IN THE APARTMENT +++

• Water riser in the apartment, water pipes

• Electrical wiring, new fuse box with RCD protection (separate circuits for washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, stove, and microwave)

• New windows and balcony doors

• New radiators

• Complete ceiling suspension with drywall

+++ BATHROOM / TILING / INTERIOR FINISHES +++

+++ KITCHEN +++

• Built-in microwave (IKEA)

• Dishwasher (IKEA)

• Refrigerator (Siemens)

+++ FURTHER EQUIPMENT +++

• Large balcony (east) spanning both rooms

• District heating

+++ IN SHORT +++

Pipelines, electrical wiring, windows, radiators, bathroom, kitchen, doors, floors, and ceilings – many of the typical cost and time pitfalls have already been eliminated from the property.

+++ ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY: SECURITY THROUGH SIZE +++

The property is part of an owners’ association (WEG) that covers an area of 14,188 m² and 17 house numbers:

• The community: Kriegsstr. 210-218, Lessingstr. 64-68, and Moningerstr. 15-29 form an economic unit with several hundred residential units.

• Two permanently employed caretakers: A rarity in a property of this size. This ensures maximum security, immediate maintenance, and an impeccable exterior appearance for the entire complex.

• Well-maintained overall appearance: There is no “rag-tag” look here. A uniform, clean presentation (from the doorbell to the hallway) is guaranteed by the property management. This secures a high-quality tenant structure and helps preserve your property’s value in the long term.

• Cost efficiency: As the costs for these two caretakers are spread over 100,000 proportional ownership units (the apartment for sale holds 221.358 MEA shares), you benefit from a well-maintained environment with moderate additional charges.

Furthermore, long-term investments have been made in the communal property. Many of the issues that scare buyers away from older existing apartments have already been addressed or implemented here:

• Roof and waterproofing measures

• Elevator

• Main entrance door and mailbox system

• Continuous improvements in stairwell and hallway areas: floors, painting, energy-saving lighting

• District heating instead of conventional gas/oil heating: This offers a much more relaxed situation compared to many older existing properties with typical heating issues.

• Good financing prospects: Thanks to the combination of a 1988 construction and district heating, banks with GEG criteria classify the property as stable in value and relatively low risk, which grants you access to better interest rates and a smoother loan approval process.

• According to current knowledge, no special assessments have been approved.

+++ IMPORTANT FOR BUYERS +++

This property should not be compared to unrenovated existing apartments where, after purchase, issues such as the roof, elevator, electrical systems, pipelines, or entrance areas suddenly emerge. Here, years of investment have already been made—both in the apartment itself and the overall complex.

+++ KEY DATA +++

• Year built: 1988

• District heating instead of conventional gas/oil heating

• Energy Efficiency Class: E

• Final energy consumption: 140.00 kWh/(m²a)

This point is especially significant in the current market: District heating combined with a 1988 construction provides a much more relaxed starting position compared to many older properties burdened with typical heating and renovation issues.

The individual underground parking space (not a duplex parker) is an extra convenience and value component in this location. It significantly improves daily comfort, rental potential, and resale value—especially since it can be rented out separately from the apartment.

Sale directly from the owner, commission-free.
