This premier six-floor development overlooks a beautifully maintained communal garden area, and is situated just a few minutes' drive from the world-famous Kurfürstendamm shopping avenue. Home to many of the city's elite, Wlimersdorf is the most exclusive and desirable area of Berlin. Development Information: Originally constructed in the mid-Thirties and recently having benefited from major renovation work, this five-storey development - with its own private garden including a children's play area - has a palpable feel of history, while observing all modern standards. While strolling along the peaceful cobbled pavements of Mainzer Strasse it's easy to feel as though you have been taken back in time, what with the horse and cart taxis that trot in-between its huge oak trees. Property Information: Four in five of the apartments in Mainzer Strasse are now owned by the tenants themselves. When you consider that in the rest of Berlin the statistic is just 15%, this speaks volumes. Alongside the option of a 10-year rental guarantee, which includes 10 years' income, 10 years' free maintenance and an interior renovation of the apartment - not forgetting the amazingly low prices for property in the capital city of Europe's largest economy - this really is as close as you can get to the perfect investment vehicle. Area Information: Green Wilmersdorf is a great place to live, with its elegant areas of small apartments, coffee shops and bistros. This district has the highest real estate prices in Berlin and is a first-class address, so it is no surprise that it is popular with professionals and with Berlin's elite celebrities. The Grunewald forest covers half of its total area, giving Wilmersdorf the feeling of an idyllic village in the country - yet it is just half a mile from the famous shopping street of the Ku-Damm, right in the centre of the city.
