Temporary housing in Hamburg-Hohenfelde, how is living here?
The inhabitants of Hohenfelde have some of Hamburg’s highlights on their front step: the perfect trails for long Sunday walks, boat watching on the Außenalster or a leisurely trip downtown anytime they get the urge. The district is quiet and tranquil; especially families with children and retirees feel comfortable here. Comparatively cheap rents also attract young people and students.
Hamburg’s classic red brick post-war buildings characterize the streetscape. However, some remaining pretty Jugendstil villas and chic burgher houses are in Hohenfelde as well.
