Living in Eppendorf

Central, elegant, and with lots of trees and water– Eppendorf is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Hamburg. Anyone looking for an apartment here should expect to dig a little deeper into their pockets. The district is known for its imposing Wilhelminian buildings that have apartments with stucco ceilings and inlaid parquet. You wouldn’t turn up your nose at the other choices though: chic villas right on the waterfront, terrace houses and ivy-covered brick homes. Much to the joy of students, Eppendorf does have some affordable housing in the former working-class quarters on Schrammsweg and Frickestraße.

The Isemarkt, for many the most beautiful and best farmer’s market in Hamburg, is famous throughout Germany.
