Buying a house in Innsbruck or Innsbruck Land with Engel & Völkers Tyrol

As a buyer, this gives you certainty that the price actually represents the value of the house. We are also here to help you to find other properties, such as houses in the district of Innsbruck-Land or in other places in Tyrol.

A unique variety of schools and higher education institutions ensure a high standard of education for children. The University of Innsbruck is particularly popular.

Many potential buyers consider whether they should purchase a house in Innsbruck or opt for a house in Innsbruck-Land, which is usually lower-priced.
