The Landstraße district features a unique balance between historic buildings and new construction projects.
and Die goldene Nachtigall near the Hundertwasserhaus will also provide the district with additional residential space.
However, the popularity of Landstraße as a residential area extends beyond the busy new-build construction activity. Considering its location close to the city centre, the district also has an unusually large share of green space such as the botanical gardens and Belvedere palace gardens, and its convenient transport connections with the U3 metro, regional railway services, motorway junction, and city exit towards the airport.

Housing costs are as varied here as the individual parts of the district due to the price gradient from the northwest to the southeast of the district.
Known to many as the embassy quarter, the district has stylish apartment buildings from the Wilhelminian period, magnificent palaces, and a number of diplomatic missions vying with the striking presence of new residential high-rises. The develop- ment area around The Marks in particular with the HELIO Tower, The One , and the Q Tower has recently begun to dominate the district’s skyline.
