Ostermannstraße 7 Essen Nordviertel Nordrhein-Westfalen 45141Living, sleeping, and working on approximately 40 m²: This renovated and furnished two-room apartment at Ostermannstraße 7 offers a separate bedroom with a workspace, a cozy living room, and a private balcony.

Urban living, short distances: The apartment is located on Ostermannstraße in Essen’s Eltingviertel – close to the University of Duisburg-Essen’s Essen campus and the city center. The neighborhood combines historic townhouses and striking facades with a vibrant community and noticeable development. It is an attractive location for anyone who wants to live centrally while balancing study, work, and leisure.
Especially exciting is the upgrade taking place directly within the neighborhood: Eltingplatz and the surrounding streets are currently being comprehensively redesigned. For the project, the City of Essen has secured approximately 3.36 million euros in funding. Plans include, among other things, a green meeting point with seating, new flower beds, as well as renovated street surfaces and lighting. Parts of Ostermannstraße are also included in the project. According to the city, the work is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
The proximity to the university and Essen’s city center makes everyday life uncomplicated: shopping, dining, and urban living are easily accessible, and daily needs are met in the Nordviertel. The green university campus and Segerothpark offer opportunities for an outdoor break.
Even without your own car, you are well connected: From the nearby Am Freistein stop, you can take tram line 107 directly to Essen Central Station. From there, there are numerous regional and long-distance transport connections. Thus, the location connects living in an up-and-coming neighborhood with short commutes to the city and good connections to the Ruhr area.
