Berlin
The capital of Germany, Berlin has been a hugely evolving city with much variety to offer to tourists and investors alike. Consisting of 23 different districts, each with their own unique character, Berlin has been going through a major property rebuild process which includes the new cityscape around Potsdamer Platz and the eastern city centre. Mitte, the central district has the most to offer including some of the city's most historical sites such as the Brandenburg Gate. On one side of the borough there are old properties and grand buildings, whilst towards the northeast there are bars, restaurants and clubs to accommodate Berlin's nightlife enthusiasts.
Only 11% of the German population own their own property which makes Berlin a cheap place to invest in. However, the property market in this city is only seen as a long term investment opportunity because it is known that Germans themselves prefer to rent accommodation than to buy.
Frankfurt
Frankfurt is a distinctive city due to the combination of old and new real estate in the midst of one another, varying from towering skyscrapers to tiny half built houses. Frankfurt has over half a million residents of which 28% are of foreign citizenship and there is also a large immigrant community present here which makes it a popular city to be in due to its multi-ethnicity. Frankfurt is seen as a financial powerhouse for Germany and the European continent as a whole causing a huge impact on the world's economic stage, making it one of the ten Alpha world cities.
Cologne (Köln)
It is clear to see the reason for Cologne's popularity due to it's outstanding architecture, several museums, theatres, concerts and fantastic dance clubs making it a major cultural city with a vibrant art scene. It is a strong media centre in Germany and Cologne University is the largest in the country.
The property market in Cologne has remained stable and the transport connection links to other cities are of a high quality making it a favourable place for property investment. The property market in Cologne is broad enough to accommodate those wishing to buy and to rent.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart is the sixth largest city in Germany and is situated in the southwest of the country. It has a very urban community giving the city an inviting atmosphere and is seen as one of the better investment opportunities which are likely to attract shrewd investors.
