Commission-free real estate directly from the owner in Halstenbek

Affordable housing in the Hamburg metropolitan region: Halstenbek

Small, manageable - and just outside the gates of the Elbe metropolis of Hamburg: that is the Schleswig-Holstein community of Halstenbek in the district of Pinneberg. The two districts of Halstenbek and Krupunder border directly on the Hamburg districts of Eidelstedt and Lurup and are only about 15 kilometers from the center of the Hanseatic city. A good 16,600 people live in Halstenbek - and among them many young families who, in view of the high real estate prices in Hamburg, have opted for living in the countryside in the more tranquil Halstenbek. Not only does the popular recreational area of Lake Krupunder See attract visitors here, but the small community also offers its residents a high quality of life in other respects: supermarkets provide convenient shopping opportunities, six daycare centers, four schools, including the famous Japanese School, a library and various sports clubs make life in the Schleswig-Holstein community attractive, especially for families with children. Thanks to the S-Bahn connection with a total of two stops and the nearby A 23 freeway, Halstenbek has excellent transport links to Hamburg, making the daily commute to work in the Elbe metropolis child's play. A special feature of Halstenbek is also the so-called "residential mile" on the A 23, where several furniture and home furnishing stores, including the large Schulenburg furniture store, have settled.

Plenty of space for building

Halstenbek is also known as a traditional location for various tree nurseries - the number of which has declined recently, however. Thus, building land has been created for various construction projects: In addition to commercial buildings, above all for single-family homes, which would otherwise often be unaffordable for families in neighboring Hamburg. In addition, the new "Rathausquartier" is currently being built on the site of a former school, right in the center of the community, where a total of 31 modern condominiums are to be built. According to statistics from the real estate portal immowelt.de, the average rent in Halstenbek is around 8.60 euros per square meter, far below that of the neighboring metropolis of Hamburg, where the average rent is just under 11.70 euros. The price advantage is even greater for condominiums, because in Halstenbek the square meter costs 1,760 euros, only about half of what would be paid in Hamburg.

Good chances of finding properties free of brokerage fees

In addition another advantage comes: A considerable portion of the renting and owner-occupied dwellings as well as homes are mediated commission-free from private to private. Prospective customers save themselves in such a way the unpopular broker commission. Also the offerers of real estates profit from a sales and/or a letting without brokers, because the demand for dwelling without brokerage is incomparably higher than with assignment of a real estate agent. Therefore, in accordance with the rural location, there are numerous homes among the real estate offers in Halstenbek, which, with a little luck, can also be obtained without a broker's commission - good news especially for families who want to escape the high prices in Hamburg and still do not want to do without fast transport connections to the workplace.
