Buying houses and apartments in the suburbs of Berlin is becoming increasingly popular. Demand is increasing, primarily due to the favorable conditions in communities such as Basdorf and Wandlitz in the Barnim district. Here, people can live in pleasantly quiet, green surroundings and can be sure of an attractive increase in the value of their property. In this article, we take a closer look at the current state of the real estate market in the Berlin suburbs.
Market overview: Real estate in the Berlin suburbs
Prices for apartments and houses in Berlin have been rising for many years. Districts such as Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg are the main focus. Coveted properties in these districts cost more and more. An alternative for many people looking for a freehold property is therefore the range of condominiums and houses on offer in the districts surrounding Berlin, the so-called Speckgürtel.
Current price trends and developments
Real estate in the Berlin suburbs generally shows a positive performance. Due to the strong national and international influx to Berlin, locations close to the city are becoming increasingly attractive. They offer a green environment and good connections to the capital at lower prices. It is therefore currently worth buying real estate in the Berlin suburbs – regardless of whether the purchase is purely an investment or the foundation stone for a new home.
Future prospects in the Berlin suburbs
If you take a close look at the demographic development of Berlin, an increase in demand combined with higher prices over the next ten to 20 years is almost certain. Compared to other cities in Germany, Berlin looks more attractive than ever. Since the beginning of the 2010s in particular, the population has risen rapidly from under 3.5 million to around 3.8 million. The demographic institutes expect that we will see a breakthrough to the 4 million mark within the next decade.
Ultimately, this is also having an impact on the outskirts. With growth and rising demand, the towns in Berlin’s commuter belt are becoming increasingly interesting for living and investing. As things stand at present, prices for real estate in Wandlitz, Basdorf, Barnim & Co. can be expected to rise significantly in the future.
Advantages of buying real estate in the Berlin suburbs
Buying a house in Berlin’s suburbs offers many advantages. It starts with the high level of living comfort in the suburbs. Take the Wohnen am Wiesenpark residential complex in Basdorf, for example. Here you are surrounded by greenery and enjoy a high degree of peace and quiet. At the same time, the distance to the nearest train station is very short, from where you can reach the surrounding area and Berlin on various regional train lines. Drivers can reach the access roads to Berlin within a few minutes.
The other advantage of buying a property in the Berlin suburbs is the high potential for value appreciation. In view of the high demand and population growth in Berlin, land and property prices are expected to rise over the next ten years. This means that you can still buy a property in the Berlin suburbs at a comparatively moderate price and benefit from a presumably very positive development in value.

Sustainability and real estate investment in the Berlin suburbs
An important aspect when buying a property these days is its sustainability. If properties in the Berlin suburbs meet certain criteria, an increase in value is almost guaranteed. Energy-efficient houses and apartments can be offered and sold on the market at much higher prices.
In this respect, it makes sense to pay attention to the property’s energy certificate and compliance with environmental standards at an early stage. Modern condominiums and houses, which are mainly found in new construction projects, are designed from the outset in such a way that insulation and heating harmonize optimally, sufficient greenery is installed and solar cells on the roof generate climate-neutral electricity. Many of these conditions are met, for example, in the residential project Wohnen am Wiesenpark in Basdorf, north of Berlin.

Summary and outlook: Why buying a house or apartment in the Berlin suburbs is worthwhile
Real estate on the outskirts of Berlin is becoming increasingly attractive. More and more people appreciate the advantages of a quiet location with quick access to the city center and want to buy an apartment or house in the Berlin suburbs. This increase in demand automatically pushes up prices. While apartments can still be bought comparatively cheaply, prices are expected to rise significantly over the next ten years. Investors are therefore getting in now so that they can reap the rewards of their capital investment after one to two decades.
