Living in Margareten
Margareten is one of Vienna's densest districts and cheaper than its neighbours Wieden and Mariahilf. Typical are Gründerzeit buildings around Margaretenplatz, Bacherplatz and Schönbrunner Straße, and the large Red Vienna council estates on the Margaretengürtel, such as the Reumannhof and the Metzleinstaler Hof.
On the Gürtel the U4 stops at Pilgramgasse and Margaretengürtel, and buses and trams 6 and 18 run along the Gürtel. Parks are scarce: the Bruno-Kreisky-Park and the Einsiedlerpark are the largest. Many flats are small and on the ground floor or facing the courtyard, so check light and damp at viewings. If you want to live close to the centre at sensible prices, put Margareten on your list.
Good to know: many older flats in Margareten fall under the Richtwert rent cap. If the rent for an unrenovated period flat is well above the district median, use our rent check and look at the Richtwert.
