Frankfurter Str. 506 Köln Urbach Nordrhein-Westfalen 51145Public transport 3 minutes of walkingAttention owner-occupiers and individualists! A sunny and well-maintained 3-room apartment on the 3rd floor of a multi-unit building in Cologne-Urbach, a central neighborhood of Cologne’s Porz district, is ready for move-in. No brokerage fees, directly from the owner. The nearly 67 sqm apartment is flooded with light, allowing you to experience fantastic sunrises and sunsets daily, with views of lush nature to the west and east, accompanied by the sounds of parrots and birdsong—all despite ideal transport connections and proximity to the Rhine.
The generous, bright hallway—equipped with a spacious fitted wardrobe—leads to the bedroom overlooking a park, a lavish bathroom with sink, toilet, bathtub, and washing machine, and the living/dining room with an attached semi-open U-shaped kitchen. Also connected to the living/dining area is the east-facing balcony, which enjoys seasonal morning or early afternoon sunlight, as well as a small additional room from which you, for example, can step out onto the balcony from your home office.
The apartment includes its own basement storage room. There is a bicycle storage room and a laundry cellar available. Thanks to a concrete ramp, you can conveniently roll your bike out of the basement each day. Parking spaces are available in sufficient numbers in the immediate vicinity of the building. Shops, newsstands, and fast food outlets (Italian, Greek, Asian) are conveniently located just a few buildings away. The property is managed by a new, Germany-wide property management company and a caretaker service from Porz, so you don’t have to worry about a thing and can enjoy your free time.
This property is ideal for singles, couples, or small families looking for a practical, friendly, and well-maintained apartment in a central, nature-surrounded location—without having to worry about nasty surprises. The owners’ association operates prudently and cautiously; there have been no special assessments in recent years, and none are planned. The monthly service charge is expected to be €250–€300. The current statement for 2024 is already being prepared by the new property management. Small repairs and renovations have been planned for some time now and can finally be implemented thanks to the effective property management. The property tax amounts to approximately €13 per month and is relatively inexpensive compared to other cities and regions. Cologne does not levy fees for road construction or similar work.
Due to its uniqueness and predictable costs, the property is also ideal as a holiday apartment, second residence, or investment.
The apartment is NOT located in the flight path of Cologne Bonn Airport. A short distance to the city center and nature—guaranteed!

Experience life in the colorful metropolis of Cologne! In the Porz district, within the Urbach neighborhood—Cologne-Urbach—directly opposite a park and set slightly back on the central Frankfurter Straße, is the cozy apartment. The neighborhood is urban and green, offering a variety of amenities such as snack bars, grocery stores of all kinds (German, Oriental, etc.), drugstores, schools, kindergartens, supermarkets, beauty salons, a travel agency, bakeries, and much more.
Transportation is perfect, with rapid access to the A59 and A3 motorways as well as public transportation (bus, regional express, regional train, S-Bahn, tram), providing easy connections to the city centers of Cologne, Bonn, and surrounding communities such as Troisdorf, Sankt Augustin, or Siegburg.
The landscape is characterized by green spaces and parks that invite you for walks and sometimes exotic leisure activities, as well as the Rhine, small lakes, and ponds. Notable are the Groov in Cologne-Zündorf or the Pollerwiesen. Stand-up paddling, rowing, cycling, or horseback riding every day? No problem—within a 3 km radius there are various clubs, including many festive Carnival clubs.
The location in Cologne-Urbach offers an ideal mix of a modern city and relaxation. Due to the suburban setting with nature, there is currently a high demand for housing in the entire area, so several new development areas with single and multi-family houses are emerging or have already been completed within a 2 km radius, bringing young populations and fresh energy to the Porz district!
The apartment has always been treated with care and continuously maintained so that no backlog of renovations exists and no major investments are necessary prior to moving in.
- Walls: wallpapered, painted in white and sunny yellow
- Floors: porcelain stoneware (light), tiles (in shabby style), laminate, office vinyl
- Windows: plastic, white, double-glazed, some fitted with custom insect screens
- Sloping ceilings: only in the kitchen and bathroom; new large white Velux windows, complete with interior blinds and exterior roller shutters (both original Velux), ensure brightness and fantastic views.
Due to the apartment’s position—without disruptive neighbors above—summer warmth naturally builds up, which can easily be vented through cross ventilation in the early morning and late evening hours. An air conditioning unit can likely be installed after consulting the owners’ association (which has already been done in one of the properties of the condominium).
The apartment is currently occupied by the owner herself and can be moved into after mutual agreement. A notary in the vicinity has already been commissioned. Current documents such as the land register excerpt and energy certificate are available. Therefore, there is nothing to prevent a short-term notarial contract appointment and move-in, for example, on January 1, 2026.

Please share relevant information about yourself in German: first name, last name, address (as per ID card, passport, registration certificate), telephone number, e-mail address, current occupation, and also whether you already have a financing commitment (including the financing bank) or how you intend to finance the property.
No statement is made regarding the transferable costs to potential tenants. The property has never been rented out but was always occupied by the owners themselves. Further documents will only be sent after a viewing of the apartment. Please understand this.
