Solid ownership structure, modern equipment, reliable management – and all just 1 minute away from the S-Bahn in move-in condition.
Meticulously maintained and managed with foresight – with details that are rarely found:
This high-quality one-room apartment is located on the first floor of the peaceful residential complex “Waldäcker” at Schweriner Straße 2b in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen. It offers a thoughtful layout over approximately 34.64 m² of living space, premium fittings, and a covered balcony with views over the green inner courtyard – only a one-minute walk from the S-Bahn stop “Schweriner Str.” The balcony faces east, so the apartment remains pleasantly cool in summer.
An associated outdoor parking space (exclusive ownership) as well as a solidly constructed basement storage room round off the offer.
Residential Complex “Waldäcker” – solid community, well-planned structure
- Built in 1994 (solid brick construction)
- Four architecturally sophisticated multi-family houses (located on Potsdamer Str., Ostring, Schweriner Str.) – independent
- The condominium is professionally managed, but each house has its own declaration of division and its own reserves
- The entire complex comprises 104 residential units and 8 commercial units, spread over two plots with separate management
- The apartment for sale is part of the Schweriner Str. 2a/b subunit with its own reserve of €56,130 (as of 31.12.2023), with the apartment’s reserve share being €1,654
- The complex is professionally serviced by the management company Krogmeier-Vieten (Karlsruhe). Reserves are built up proactively and used in a targeted manner: In 2023, for example, the balcony renovation (including railings) was fully paid from the reserves – without a special levy. Legally required measures, such as the hydraulic balancing, were also implemented on time. This means that buyers face no financial legacy issues and no unfinished construction projects.
Key Data for the Apartment & Condominium (as of 31.12.2023):
• Living space: 34.64 m² + balcony (3.43 m², counted at 50%)
• Year of construction: 1994 – significantly younger than many older buildings in the area
• Monthly service charge (2026 economic plan):
• Total: €199.73/month
• Chargeable: €156.43/month (including heating)
• Non-chargeable: €26.65/month
• Reserve contribution: €14.73/month
The structure of the ancillary costs is permanently low because the building was built without an elevator – no elevator technology means no maintenance costs = lower reserve burden. For owner-occupiers, this means a predictable monthly expense. For investors, it translates into a higher net yield per rental unit.
Condominium Community: Efficient, Fair, Professional – Setting an Example
The uniqueness of this residential complex lies in its structure: Four legally independent buildings that are connected via the inner courtyard, yet share synergies for caretaker services, cleaning, and maintenance. This ensures that the complex is visibly well maintained – without excessive costs.
A full-time caretaker is on site regularly, taking care of the stairwells, garbage areas, outdoor grounds, and minor repairs. The result: tidy outdoor areas, well-manicured lawns, a clean staircase, and basement – all on a constant basis.
In short:
Solid ownership structure, modern equipment, reliable management – and all just 1 minute away from the S-Bahn.
This apartment impresses not only with its visible features but also with what you cannot immediately see – yet feel every day: a stable community and clear rules.
