For sale is an unoccupied 2-room apartment on Lessingstraße (Karlsruhe-Weststadt), built in 1988. Previously let as a shared apartment, it is currently empty and immediately available for occupancy. The property is part of the Moninger/Studienresidenz complex. No worries about open trades or outdated heating systems: here, the solid 1988 construction, district heating, elevator, underground parking, and a comprehensively renovated apartment come together.
+++ THE TOUR WILL AMAZE YOU +++
Even the arrival shows how uncomplicated everyday life here can be:
• For cyclists: You arrive on the ground floor and can leave your bike in the secure, lockable bicycle room of the building. From there, just two small steps separate you from your front door.
• For drivers: You relax knowing you have your own underground parking space. The stairwell is directly adjacent. Even on rainy days, you can reach the ground floor completely dry.
• The green inner courtyard: In the secluded, rear area of the spacious complex, a beautiful communal area awaits you with well-kept lawns and a small children’s playground – an urban oasis with short access routes to Kriegsstraße and Moningerstraße.
+++ HISTORY & SUBSTANCE: THE "MONINGER FOUNDATION" +++
• Solid construction: The building was originally constructed on behalf of the Moninger Brewery (presumably as a beer warehouse).
• Concrete specialty construction: The extremely robust construction with extensive use of concrete ensures above-average structural integrity and durability.
• Sense of space: An indication of the history is the impressive ceiling heights of 3.50 m to 4.00 m. This creates a spacious living atmosphere (especially in the stairwell) rarely found in typical 1980s buildings. It is even possible in principle to add a mezzanine and gain additional space.
Buyers in 2026 are not looking for an “investment with potential” but rather for an investment with a clear premise. The layout is efficient: both rooms are accessible separately from the hallway.
• INVESTORS: Immediate rental as a student shared apartment. Just buy the beds and enjoy the cash flow.
• OWNER-USERS: Enjoy living in the best Weststadt location without the stress of renovations.
+++ ATTRACTIVE PRICING STRUCTURE: YOUR ALL-IN PACKAGE FOR €219,000 +++
For maximum transparency, the total property is fairly divided as follows:
• PURCHASE PRICE OF APARTMENT: €198,500 (modernized & available immediately)
• UNDERGROUND PARKING SPACE: €15,000 (convenient individual parking spot, NOT duplex!)
• PREMIUM FURNISHING & KITCHEN EQUIPMENT: €5,500 (Häcker brand kitchen, Bosch appliances, smart TVs & shared apartment inventory)

Please refrain from submitting blanket discount offers without an inspection.
A large east-facing balcony spanning both rooms, an elevator, a storage room, a lockable bicycle room on the ground floor, and an individual underground parking space combine to form an unusually complete package.
+++ BUILDING FEES / RESERVES 2026 FINANCIAL PLAN +++
• Allocable: €116.83 | Non-allocable: €52.58 | Reserve: €53.02
The pure building fee amounts to €222.43, and the total advance payment including heating/water is €401. Since the apartment was rented on an all-inclusive warm basis, billing will henceforth be based on individual consumption.
+++ TRAM/STREETCAR STOPS +++
• Lessingstraße (Gartenstraße): approx. 300 m
• Employment Agency (Brauerstraße): approx. 500 m
• Otto-Sachs-Straße (Brauerstraße): approx. 650 m

Lessingstraße is one of the most sought-after residential areas in Karlsruhe-Weststadt. The combination of a quiet residential street, an established neighborhood, a short distance to the city center, and excellent connections makes 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

Conclusion on the location: For students, it hardly gets more central. Tenants can reach all important hotspots, universities, and cultural institutions of this university city within minutes. The vacancy rate here tends to be nearly zero.
Especially for the “parent model” this is very strong: Instead of buying a small one-room apartment solely for one’s own child, this 2-room apartment offers the possibility to use one room personally and rent out the other, thereby significantly easing the financing.
+++ SUPERMARKETS WITHIN A 1 KM RADIUS +++
• Lidl, REWE, Penny: approx. 300 - 400 m
• Alnatura Bio Super Natur Markt: approx. 600 m
• Fresh Tips: Gutenbergplatz with a thrice-weekly market: approx. 700 m

+++ COMFORTABLE LIVING WITH A FEEL-GOOD CHARACTER +++
• The tour during the inspection will delight you: Even arriving at your new apartment shows how uncomplicated and comfortable modern everyday life can be.
• For cyclists: When you return home by bike, you conveniently arrive on the ground floor. Your bike immediately finds space in the secure, lockable bicycle room of the building.
• For drivers: Arrive by car and park comfortably in your own underground parking space. The time-consuming search for a parking spot in Weststadt is eliminated.
• The stairwell connects directly to the underground garage. This way, even on rainy days, you can reach your apartment on the raised ground floor completely dry and comfortably.
• The green inner courtyard: In the rear, protected area of this generously designed complex, you will find a beautiful communal area with well-maintained lawns and a small children’s playground – a green oasis in the middle of the city. From here, there are also direct, short access routes to both Kriegsstraße and Moningerstraße.
• The complex also features additional practical bicycle storage areas, a designated waste disposal area, as well as the office of the dedicated caretaker who takes care of the property’s maintenance every day.
+++ IMMEDIATELY READY STUDENT SHARED APARTMENT CONCEPT (2-PERSON STUDENT SHARED APARTMENT) +++
Due to its optimal layout, the apartment is excellently suited for rental as a 2-person student shared apartment and will be handed over partially furnished. An expensive furniture purchase is unnecessary.
• In the private rooms (fully equipped per room): Work desk & comfortable chairs, spacious wardrobe, personal Samsung Smart TV for modern streaming, as well as balcony furniture (balcony chairs and table).
• Communal inventory (kitchen & hallway): Fully equipped built-in kitchen including a stove and extractor hood (venting outside), an integrated built-in refrigerator, complete kitchen equipment (plates, pots, pans, cutlery, etc.) as well as a microwave. In the hallway, there is an additional freestanding fridge-freezer combination offering maximum storage space for two tenants. A fully functional washing machine is already installed.
• Your effort: Only beds still need to be provided – thereafter, the apartment can be rented out immediately.
+++ THOROUGH RENOVATION & FURNISHING +++
Significant, future-proof investments have been made here – with no imminent need for further renovations:
• Plumbing & Electrical: The complete water riser within the apartment’s bathroom as well as all other bathroom water lines have been renewed. The electrical cable systems in the hallway and kitchen have been upgraded to meet modern requirements.
• Interior Finishing: The hallway and bathroom feature a complete suspended ceiling with integrated LED spotlights. After the craftsmen completed their work, the walls were re-plastered, wallpapered, and freshly painted. The kitchen, hallway, and bathroom are uniformly modern-tiled.
• Bathroom: Completely modernized and newly tiled wall-to-wall. Equipped with a low-profile shower tray, a Geberit concealed cistern toilet system, Grohe fittings, and a powerful Limodor extractor fan.
• Häcker Brand Kitchen: White high-gloss lacquered fronts, Bosch built-in appliances (ceramic hob, oven) and a genuine extractor hood.
• Additional Features: Large east-facing balcony spanning both rooms, private storage room, elevator, and sustainable district heating. A lockable bicycle room is conveniently located on the ground floor with barrier-free access.
+++ ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY & SECURITY THROUGH HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION SIZE +++
The property is part of a professionally organized large community (complex of 14,188 m², 17 house numbers: Kriegsstr. 210-218, Lessingstr. 64-68, Moningerstr. 15-29).
• 2 full-time caretakers: An absolute rarity that ensures immediate on-site repairs, high security, and an impeccable external appearance.
• Well-maintained appearance: A uniform, clean appearance (from the doorbell signage to the hallway) is strictly guaranteed by the property management. This ensures a high-quality tenant structure and long-term value retention.
• Cost efficiency: As the fixed costs for the caretakers are shared among a proud 100,000 co-ownership shares (the apartment for sale holds 220.898 MEA shares), you benefit from a perfectly maintained environment with moderate additional costs.
Investments have also been made in the communal property over the years. Many of the issues that deter buyers from older properties have already been addressed or implemented:
• Roofing and sealing measures
• Elevator
• Entrance door, mailbox system
• Continuous improvements to stairwells and hallway areas: flooring, painting, energy-saving lamps
• District heating instead of traditional gas/oil heating: This creates a significantly more relaxed starting position compared to many older properties that raise typical heating issues.
• Good financing prospects: Thanks to the combination of a 1988 construction date and district heating, GEG-oriented banks assess the property as stable in value and relatively low risk, providing you with better interest conditions and a smooth credit review.
+++ IMPORTANT FOR BUYERS +++
This property should not be compared with unrestored older apartments where, after purchase, issues with the roof, elevator, electrical systems, plumbing or entrance areas arise. Here, investments have already been made over the years – both in the apartment itself and in the overall complex.
