Station. A more optimistic evaluation of the overall market situation by investors also needs to reflect the short distance to Schönbrunn Palace and the adjoining park. For the northern section of the district near the key underground stations at Meidling and Längenfeldstrasse (U4/U6 hub), the completion and successful realisation of the VIO Plaza is good news. This office, commercial and residential project directly bordering the Meidling underground station has attracted a number of well- known companies and developed an extensive retail and gastronomy offering that represents a decisive improvement to the urban infrastructure. EHL Top Tip: The Palace Park Quarter The several hundred metre wide strip between Schönbrunn park and the Ruckergasse benefits not only from its “palace proximity“. The advantages of the quarter also include a high-quality supply of Wilhelminian era properties, an easy walk to the U4 and U6 underground lines and, above all, a social structure that is favourable compared to other districts.

Higher values are only possible in special situations. Similar to the other districts outside the beltway, buyers calculate with yields of roughly four per cent which, in individual cases, can decline to three per cent. Hopes for a market recovery are based, above all, on expectations that the structural benefits of the district will again receive greater attention. Included here, for example, are the excellent connections to the U4 and U6 underground lines as well as the heavily frequented Meidling Railway
