The advantages

The unique ambiance is undoubtedly one of the key reasons why apartments in old buildings in Graz are so highly sought after. Graz's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means that much of the city center, as well as other districts, are protected as listed buildings. As a result, there are practically no available plots for new developments in the heart of Graz. For those seeking to live in a central, prestigious location, apartments in historic buildings are the perfect choice.
These historic condominiums are nestled in the Old Town, offering a living experience that blends both the charm of history and the vibrancy of modern life. Entire streets captivate with their beautifully restored façades, which reflect the city's rich architectural evolution through the ages.

But there are also other reasons why people are drawn to buying properties in old buildings in Graz:

  • Historical building apartments are available in central and densely built-up locations

  • Special living ambience with historical charm

  • Beautiful parquet floors and unique double doors

  • Coveted investment properties in Graz

  • Special urban flair thanks to the city center location

As a city with a rich history, Graz offers unique condominiums set in historic half-timbered houses and fascinating Renaissance buildings. Currently, apartments in old buildings are in high demand in Graz, making them a sought-after choice for buyers.

When considering such a property, the condition of the building is paramount, especially whether it has been fully renovated. It's also important to focus on energy efficiency and thermal insulation to ensure modern comfort and sustainability within the historic charm.
