For many people, it is not the size of the apartment or house that is the decisive argument, but its location in the urban area: the accessibility of the neighborhood, the proximity to leisure and educational facilities, the distance to the nearest bus stop, the quality of the existing green spaces and playgrounds, the neighborhood and the ambience - all these factors make up the attractiveness of a residential location.

Hellwinkel terraces

A modern, urban residential area with around 970 apartments is being built on an area of around 11 hectares. Due to the given elevation between the edge of the forest in the south and Reislinger Strasse in the north, the area is divided into 4 terraces. A wide variety of apartments will be built on 27 building plots. From owner-occupied homes to terraced houses, apartments with roof terraces, living in small or large apartment buildings and also rent-reduced, subsidized living space - there is something for everyone.

The courtyards - residential oases in the middle of the city of Wolfsburg

... live where others work: less than a two-minute walk from the pedestrian zone, in renovated three- to four-storey residential buildings whose arrangement creates attractive inner courtyards. These refuges are tranquil retreats with a special quality of stay. The abundance of greenery, attractive street furniture and small play islands for children invite you to linger and enrich city living.

The uniform building and façade designs are interesting from an urban planning perspective. In particular, the sculptural structuring through stylistic elements such as arcades, balconies, bay windows and building projections as well as the framed house entrances convey a homogeneous cityscape.

Klieversberg - City life on the culture hill

... with an impressive view over the roofs of the city. The neighborhood offers all classic forms of living. You can live conservatively in detached single-family houses with small or large plots of land - in terraced and semi-detached houses with associated, often colorfully planted gardens or in multi-storey apartment buildings surrounded by generous green spaces.

The direct neighborhood to the municipal theater with its remarkable repertoire, the art museum with international reputation, the planetarium in its cityscape-defining building and the municipal Congress Park with a wide range of events characterize life in this neighborhood. The municipal hospital with its wide catchment area also contributes to the district's special reputation.

Rabenberg - Living close to the center in the park

... in buildings surrounded by plenty of open and green spaces. Enchanted corners, ancient trees, small ponds and the twittering of birds invite you on a new journey of discovery time and again. The residential buildings are built into the old trees, creating a harmonious picture.

Walking, jogging, enjoying exercise in the fresh air and in nature: having something like this right on your doorstep is something special. The multi-storey residential buildings and detached houses with flat roofs and balconies or covered loggias also offer the necessary living comfort. Modern, artistic designs give many properties an independent, unique look.

Hageberg-Süd - new living in the city

... and easy to reach by public transport. A residential quarter has been created here that has more of a small-town than a big-city feel. The interesting arrangement of the buildings and the resulting neighborhood squares exert a special attraction. The quality of the development, the amount of greenery, the residential environment and the homogeneity of the design - mainly brick facades - underline the attractiveness of the neighborhood. The inner structure of the buildings surprises with modern, flexible apartment layouts, which are appreciated not only by young families.

To live in the city, to take advantage of the many benefits associated with it, and yet not to be disturbed by narrowness, density, noise and hustle and bustle is a privilege that everyone is happy to take advantage of.

Old Heßlingen - Traditional and modern

... such residential offers also exist in downtown Wolfsburg, albeit - admittedly - on a very limited scale. By concentrating in one central location, however, these few houses develop a very special charm. The attractiveness and appeal is strengthened by replicas with intensive public use.

Varied public life thus takes place just "around the corner" in the immediate vicinity. "Opposites attract" says the popular saying. This is also true in urban planning and architecture. Currently, a project with four city villas with modern, contemporary apartment floor plans has been realized.

Salzteich - Living with a feel-good guarantee

... it has always been. Extensive renovations of the residential buildings have created new attractive living space for different population groups. The improvement of the apartment floor plans could be achieved by merging small units and thus adapted to the demand. A new living feeling is conveyed by the addition of balconies and conservatories. The renewal and redesign of the facades, the communal facilities and the outdoor spaces complete the overall impression and raise the quality of living.

Tenants and owners also appreciate the residential location because of its proximity to the city center and attractive leisure facilities. Spacious open spaces with a pond and park are also right next door. And every week there is an independent market day - in addition to the wide range of retail offerings. Long-term tenant loyalty underscores the high level of acceptance, identity and attachment to the neighborhood.

Schillerteich - Living by the water

... in the middle of downtown Wolfsburg. The residential location of short distances! Quiet, green and in the middle of it all - nowhere do you experience the seasons more intensively than here. Central, with many open spaces and situated on the water - these are the outstanding qualities of the Schillerteich urban quarter. A place for families who appreciate the central location and the variety of offers in the city center and love the manageable, harmonious urban space embedded in greenery.

Here you can live in renovated apartment buildings from Wolfsburg's founding years, in the Schillerteichcenter residential tower or in tranquil terraced houses. Living quality that hardly anyone would expect to find within walking distance of the city center. Living here means enjoying the daily luxury of effective time savings.

Bürgerkämpe - Modern housing diversity

... living under a canopy of leaves: cool and relaxing in summer, bright and airy in winter - with a direct connection to nature in every season. Row houses and semi-detached houses, in which the influence of the so-called "Stuttgart School" can still be seen today, characterize the neighborhood. Clear, simple structures with pitched roofs and regular window openings characterize the listed settlement. Accentuated house entrances, dormer windows and wooden folding shutters are the decoration of the buildings.

Small and large residents appreciate the proximity to the city. Strolling, shopping, strolling - the colorful shopping world is quickly reached. The extraordinary cultural diversity, the public life and the liveliness of a big city are inviting. It only takes a few minutes to escape the hustle and bustle and get back home. To be able to have both has unique charm.

... many have realized the dream of owning their own home here. Predominantly detached single-family houses, but also row houses and semi-detached houses as well as some city villas determine the appearance of the Bürgerkämpe. Easy to reach by public transport, with a view of the Allersee, the city's largest recreational area, a residential quarter has been created that appears more small-scale than metropolitan.

Living with a view and in the immediate vicinity of the Allerpark leisure and recreation area is highly attractive. The charm of the quarter lies in the fact that it reflects the personal, individual living wishes, values and dreams of its residents. The apartment, the house as the center of life, an oasis of well-being and security, and a factor for emotional security is clearly recognizable.

Campo Mediterraneo - Living with southern flair

... with this short description is already very impressively brought to the point the special feature of the residential area. The ambience is underlined not only by the architecture and the building style, but also with the choice of building materials and the colors of the facades. The design of open spaces, circulation areas and squares and the other accessories also convey a southern European residential character in the residential environment.

The Campo Mediterraneo is a special residential address in Wolfsburg. With attention to detail and a special living culture, a lively homogeneous residential quarter has been realized with and by people who have a similar idea of living, which is present and can be experienced.

Manorial Hofekamp - Modern ambience

... with this short description is already very impressively brought to the point the special feature of the residential area. The ambience is underlined not only by the architecture and the building style, but also with the choice of building materials and the colors of the facades. The design of open spaces, circulation areas and squares and the other accessories also convey a southern European residential character in the residential environment.

The Campo Mediterraneo is a special residential address in Wolfsburg.
With attention to detail and a special living culture, a lively homogeneous residential quarter has been realized with and by people who have a similar idea of living, which is present and can be experienced.

... Stylish living in a small but fine quarter, which bears a uniformly clear handwriting in terms of design. High-quality materials determine not only the outer shell, but also the inner structure of the buildings. Tasteful and comfortable living is possible in condominiums as well as in detached and semi-detached houses. The historic center of Fallersleben with its impressive half-timbered houses, Fallersleben Castle, its park and St. Michael's Church can be reached on foot. The residents of the neighborhood appreciate this proximity, but also the homogeneous characteristics and tranquility of their residential area.

Everyone defines quality of life very differently; Fallersleben offers precisely this diversity and therefore enjoys particular popularity as a place to live. Grown, traditional, but also new, modern urban spaces - this interplay ensures (or has) a high attraction.

New castle - living concept with a future

... harmonious living in and with the park in a neighborhood that has been made exciting and attractive by remodeling and new construction of rental apartment buildings. In terms of energy, the houses are now up to date. The apartment floor plans have been adapted to today's living requirements, barrier-free, with terrace or balcony, bright light staircases, comfortable, friendly entrances - a special offer level for tenants. All target groups will find what they are looking for here.

Young and old have many opportunities to retreat or deliberately approach each other and meet. In addition to the extensive modern features, it is the unusual color concept that is generally convincing. Even from a distance, the striking color composition is perceived as a special accent of the district as a whole. A place or meeting place in the neighborhood is the outstanding feature of the Neue Burg.

As part of the housing campaign launched by the city of Wolfsburg in 2012, we are continuing to work on the aspect of "living close to the city center".

In order to continue to make Wolfsburg an attractive place to live, one of our goals is to expand the quality of housing options and new forms of housing.

The residential construction projects that have been built and are currently underway not only provide housing close to the city center and thus a good infrastructure, but many are also located in the countryside.

We will show you examples of what has been initiated in recent years.

New castle

Suhlgartenkarree

With the "Suhlgartenkarree" in an inner-city location, the municipal housing association has implemented a careful urban expansion using an innovative timber frame construction.

Drömlingshöhe

The owner took the route of demolishing a 13-storey tower block in Teichbreite. An impressive solution was created with the modern architecture of 7 townhouses and a central parking lot in an underground garage.

Lessingpark

A new urban quarter with bright, modern and open architecture has been created in the middle of Wolfsburg. The project was an initial spark for the craftsmen's quarter. The new two- to four-storey buildings are making a significant contribution to the further development of the "neighborhood of short distances" as a place to work and live.

King's Meadow

By carefully rounding off and structurally extending the renovated existing buildings in the "Königswiese", the owner generated additional living space, created contemporary apartment layouts and set strong design accents in the surrounding area.

Theodor-Heuss-Straße

In Theodor-Heuss-Straße in Detmerode, the first "residential group" has been created as a new form of living in Wolfsburg. As a joint project between the city of Wolfsburg and the Neuland
Wohnungsgesellschaft, two new multi-storey buildings have been built with 25 apartments, some of which are wheelchair-accessible, and a communal apartment on the first floor for activities and meetings. Tenants were able to contribute their ideas and actively shape their living environment as early as the planning phase. As part of the project, a new playground is also being created as a further basis for a communal and family-friendly living environment.

You already own a home in Wolfsburg? As a homeowner, you have a number of obligations that you should be aware of. How much are the property charges such as property tax, waste and street cleaning fees and sewage charges, waste disposal and property drainage? What type of waste can be disposed of where and how? Is the drainage of my property in order? This is where the keyword "leak test" comes in. And where can I get a garden water meter to reduce my wastewater charge?
