Location & Surroundings

The apartment is located in Lessingstraße, a quiet side street in Karlsruhe’s Weststadt – one of the most popular neighborhoods for singles, students, young professionals, and commuters. The surroundings combine classic Karlsruhe historic architecture with modern infrastructure, short distances, and high living quality.

Despite the central location, there is an agreeable, almost village-like residential feel: little traffic, well-kept front gardens, well-established neighborhoods. The S-Bahn stops “Karlsruhe Arbeitsagentur” (approx. 500 m) and “Mühlburger Tor” (approx. 850 m) are both easily reachable on foot. From there, direct connections are available to the city center, main station, and the surrounding business areas. For those traveling by car, the Kriegsstraße with access to the B10 and A65 is only 200 m away – ideal for commuters heading toward the Palatinate, Rastatt, or Bruchsal.

Weststadt is considered one of the most livable neighborhoods in Karlsruhe. Historic building fabric, wide streets, many trees, and landscaped inner courtyards shape the area. At the same time, all essential daily necessities can be found here:

Bakeries, supermarkets, pharmacies, post office, doctors, and cozy cafés are all within minutes. Particularly popular is Gutenbergplatz with its weekly market, a meeting place for many locals and students from the nearby universities.

Recreation and leisure are also well covered: Sophienstraße, connected directly to Lessingstraße, is one of the city’s most popular bicycle routes and runs through Weststadt to the city center without motor vehicle traffic. The nearby castle gardens, the ZKM, fitness studios, and parks offer urban-level leisure value – just a few minutes away.

Yet, the residential feel remains relaxed. No through traffic, hardly any noise, a well-maintained neighborhood – many owners live there themselves. This contributes to stable value retention and reduced turnover in the building.

For investors, the location means consistently high rental demand. Small, well-designed apartments in this micro-location are extremely sought after – among students from the nearby universities (HKA, PH, KIT) as well as young professionals in the surrounding research institutes and service companies. Vacancy is virtually unknown here.

For owner-occupiers, the apartment offers the comfort of urban living with short distances to work, leisure, and local recreation – without the disadvantages of city-center noise or parking issues. The underground parking space adds extra convenience to daily life.

In summary:

A quiet, central, and value-retaining location – ideal for investors or owner-occupiers with an eye on long-term value preservation.

Equipment & Condition

This apartment shows how quality and comfort can be combined with attention to detail. It is in a very well-maintained, modernized state – both technically and aesthetically up to current standards.

Right from the entrance, the new front door of the apartment stands out, impressing with its sound insulation, thermal insulation, and appealing design. The entire interior has been fitted with gypsum board ceilings, including the bathroom. As a result, the rooms appear more modern, calmer, and significantly brighter. High-quality integrated LED downlights in the ceilings provide pleasant, uniform lighting. In the living area, several lighting circuits and dimmers allow for individual lighting moods – from bright and functional to warm and cozy.

The bathroom was completely renovated a few years ago. It features a walk-in shower, a Geberit concealed cistern, modern wall and floor tiles, and a heated towel rail. The suspended ceiling with LED lighting also creates a harmonious lighting concept here.

The electrical system has been modernized and updated to current safety standards (with residual current circuit breakers). This ensures the unit meets all current safety requirements – an important point for both owner-occupiers and investors.

The fitted kitchen is functional, well-maintained, and included in the purchase price. It comprises a built-in washing machine, ceramic hob, oven, sink, and a freestanding fridge-freezer combination. Everything is ready for use immediately without any additional investments.

The covered balcony with a southwest orientation extends the living space outdoors. With an electrical outlet and outdoor lighting, it is ideally suited as a small dining or relaxation area in the open air. Thanks to its view over the green Lessingstraße, one can enjoy both quiet and sunshine.

The vinyl flooring in a wood look creates a warm atmosphere and is robust, easy to care for, and resistant to moisture – perfect for long-term use.

The plastic windows with double glazing offer good thermal and sound insulation. The elevator serves all floors, ensuring comfort and accessibility.

Additionally, the apartment comes with a basement storage room as well as an underground parking space in separate ownership. The underground garage is bright, clean, and managed separately – with its own reserve account and regularly serviced gate system.

Also available on the ground floor of the building is a lockable bicycle storage room.

Overall, the apartment presents itself as technically modernized, aesthetically appealing, and ready for occupancy. All key trades – electrical, bathroom, lighting, floors, windows – are already current. Move in or rent out without any hassle or risk.

Administration, Community & Cost Structure

The residential complex “Studienresidenz / Moningerresidenz / Markgrafenresidenz” is regarded in Karlsruhe as a flagship property for sound management and a well-cared-for community. Here, what is often missing in large complexes comes together: clear responsibilities, proactive maintenance, and short communication channels.

The management is handled by the property management company Krogmeier-Vieten from Karlsruhe – a renowned, long-established company known for its transparency, accessibility, and consistent cost management. The owners’ association operates efficiently and structured: budgets are adhered to, reserves built up, and measures professionally coordinated.

A particular quality feature of the complex is the two full-time caretakers employed exclusively for this residential complex. They take care of cleaning, garden maintenance, technical monitoring, and minor repairs. As a result, the entire ensemble – from the inner courtyard to the underground parking and stairwells – remains visibly well-maintained. The short distances, quick response times, and overall appearance resemble that of an owner-managed community rather than an anonymous large-scale complex.

The community structure is legally clearly divided:

Four independent buildings form the overall complex, each with its own condominium association and operating plan. Nevertheless, central services – such as caretaking, cleaning, and maintenance – are organized jointly to save costs and create synergies. This model ensures fair service charges, stable processes, and a homogenous appearance across all buildings.

The ownership structure is solidly mixed: predominantly long-term oriented investors, some owner-occupiers, and minimal turnover. This balance contributes to a calm residential community and stable property value development.

In short: A professionally organized, financially sound owners’ community with efficient service, a well-maintained environment, and a clear cost structure – an important quality feature for any sustainable property of this size.
