Vienna

Vienna's 22nd district is the city's largest and has become a major draw for international families. The Vienna International Centre (UN City) and Donau City business cluster anchor a thriving expat community. The district offers modern apartments, excellent public transport via the U1 line, and direct access to the Alte Donau lake and Donauinsel recreation areas.

One of Vienna's most prestigious residential districts, Hietzing borders the Schonbrunn Palace grounds and the vast Lainzer Tiergarten nature reserve. The neighbourhood is characterised by elegant villas, quiet tree-lined streets, and a genteel atmosphere. Families appreciate the green surroundings and easy U4 metro access to the city centre.

These neighbouring districts in Vienna's northwest are among the city's most sought-after residential areas. Dobling (19th district) includes the wine village of Grinzing and the slopes of the Vienna Woods, while Wahring (18th district) offers a mix of historic villas and modern family apartments. Several international schools are located here.

Vienna's 1st district is the historic heart of the city, encircled by the Ringstrasse boulevard. While primarily a centre of culture, government, and tourism, a small number of expat families live here for the unmatched walkability and proximity to world-class museums, the Stadtpark, and the Lycee Francais. Rents are the highest in the city.

The 14th district in western Vienna offers a suburban feel with excellent connections to the city centre via the U4 line. Hadersdorf-Weidlingau, at the western edge, sits at the entrance to the Vienna Woods and attracts families who want space, nature, and a village-like atmosphere within the city limits. The American International School is nearby.

Vienna's southernmost district combines suburban tranquillity with surprisingly good infrastructure. Newer residential developments in Alt-Erlaa and Atzgersdorf offer spacious, affordable apartments with excellent public transport links. Families are drawn by the lower rents, large parks, and the relaxed pace — a contrast to the bustle of inner districts.
