Leipzig: Germany's Boomtown
The city of Leipzig, located less than 200km south-east of Berlin, is one of Germany’s most dynamic and fastest-growing cities. With the highest employment growth in Germany, a youthful, creative population enjoying a high quality of life, and comparatively low property prices with attractive returns, Leipzig is an ideal place to invest. And with only 1% of property bought by internationals, now is the perfect time to buy an apartment in this flourishing city.
A Dynamic Market
Property prices in Leipzig are amongst the lowest in Germany, and lower than other popular European property markets, but are steadily increasing and look set to continue to grow. The ever-popular Altbau buildings have seen solid growth in recent years.
