Leipzig: Worth buying in these locations

The districts of Leipzig: development, popularity and real estate prices

Leipzig is a city in transition. Since reunification, the Saxon metropolis has developed from a once gray industrial city into one of the most popular and dynamic cities in Germany. With a steadily growing population and a flourishing real estate market, many people are asking themselves which part of the city best suits their needs. Whether family-friendly, alternative, urban or quiet - Leipzig offers the right district for every living situation. This article takes a closer look at some of the most important districts. In addition to the special characteristics of each district, it also looks at current price trends and future prospects. Kevin Rader from Leipzig, an expert in the real estate sector, analyzes the developments and opportunities on the market and provides valuable insights for buyers and investors.

Center: The beating heart of the city

Leipzig's city center is the economic and cultural heart of the city. It is home to numerous historic buildings, shopping streets and sights that make Leipzig an attractive place to live and invest. The infrastructure is excellent, giving residents access to a wide range of restaurants, cafés, museums and theaters. Those who live here benefit from short distances, excellent public transport connections and a vibrant atmosphere. The location is particularly popular with busy professionals and investors. Kevin Rader from the Rader Group emphasizes that high-quality refurbishment projects in the center in particular promise high returns.

Property prices in the city center have risen steadily in recent years. In 2025, the average purchase price for apartments in the center will be around EUR 4,280 per square meter. Rents will average EUR 14.40 per square meter. Due to the continuing high demand, a further increase in value is to be expected. Nevertheless, the center remains attractive for many, especially for those who appreciate an urban lifestyle. Kevin Rader from Leipzig emphasizes that the demand for exclusive apartments with modern fittings is particularly high.

Gohlis: family-friendly living with historical charm

Gohlis, located in the north of Leipzig, is one of the city's most popular residential areas. The district is characterized by its magnificent old buildings from the Wilhelminian era and its numerous parks, which ensure a high quality of life. Families in particular are drawn here, as Gohlis offers a quiet and safe environment. There are plenty of schools, kindergartens and playgrounds, which makes the district particularly family-friendly. According to Kevin Rader, Gohlis remains an insider tip for buyers who value a high-quality residential area.

Property prices in Gohlis have risen steadily in recent years. The average purchase price for apartments is around EUR 3,826 per square meter. Rents are around 10.33 euros per square meter. Despite the rising prices, Gohlis is still considered affordable compared to other sought-after districts. The continuous demand shows that the district has established itself as a long-term residential area.

Südvorstadt: the trendy district with a special flair

Südvorstadt is one of Leipzig's hippest districts. Numerous bars, cafés and restaurants are lined up along Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, affectionately known as "Karli". This lively environment makes the district particularly popular with students, young professionals and artists. Its proximity to Leipzig University and the city center makes Südvorstadt one of the most desirable places to live.

Due to the high demand, property prices here have risen at an above-average rate. The average purchase price for an apartment is currently around EUR 4,120 per square meter, while rents are around EUR 13.20 per square meter. The price trend shows that Südvorstadt is still on an upward trajectory as a residential and investment location. Nevertheless, the district remains attractive above all for those who want to enjoy cultural and social life to the full. Kevin Rader from the Rader Group recommends that investors look for attractive properties here at an early stage, as the increase in value is likely to continue.

Connewitz: The alternative district with links to nature

Connewitz, located in the south of Leipzig, has developed over the last few decades from an alternative, trendy district into one of the most popular residential areas for young families and students. The district is known for its alternative culture and political activity. At the same time, its proximity to the Auenwald forest and Lake Cospuden offers excellent outdoor leisure opportunities.

Property prices in Connewitz have risen noticeably in recent years, but remain somewhat lower than in Südvorstadt or the city center. The current purchase price for apartments is around 3,819 euros per square meter. Rents are around EUR 9.86 per square meter. Despite the continuing demand, Connewitz remains a district with comparatively affordable prices. The mixture of alternative culture and a location close to nature makes the district particularly attractive for young people. Kevin Rader emphasizes that Connewitz is showing one of the most dynamic developments in Leipzig's real estate market.

Plagwitz: creativity meets industrial charm

Plagwitz, located to the west of the city center, is a district in transition. Once a purely industrial area, the district has developed into a hotspot for creatives, start-ups and artists in recent years. The converted factory buildings and lofts, which offer modern living space with industrial charm, are particularly characteristic. Numerous studios, cafés and bars have settled along the Karl Heine Canal, enlivening the district.

The high demand for living space has caused property prices in Plagwitz to rise sharply. The current purchase price for apartments is around 3,967 euros per square meter. Rental prices are around 12.00 euros per square meter. Despite the rising prices, Plagwitz remains an attractive district for creative minds and young families who appreciate the special flair of the neighborhood. According to Kevin Rader of the Rader Group, Plagwitz is one of the most exciting areas for investment.

Conclusion

Leipzig's districts offer a wide range of housing options to suit different needs. Whether it's family-friendly Gohlis, lively Südvorstadt, creative Plagwitz or alternative Connewitz - each district has its own charm and special features. Property prices are showing a continuous upward trend in almost all districts, underlining the city's growing popularity as a place to live and invest.
