Comission-free real estate directly from the owner in Birkenfeld (BW)

The beautiful and stable gateway to the Black Forest next to the "Goldstadt".

In terms of landscape, the town of 10,000 inhabitants in the administrative district of Karlsruhe and the district of Enzkreis on the western outskirts of Pforzheim presents itself as a green idyll and the front door to the northern Black Forest in the midst of dense forests and rolling hills on the romantic banks of the Enz River. The protected landscape area of the Albtal and its side valleys as well as the intensively used agricultural landscape of the Gäu and the Nagold River are also in the immediate vicinity. Economically, Birkenfeld has long been an important location for the metal, electroplating, jewelry and watch industries due to its spatial proximity to the "gold city" of Pforzheim. In addition, the diverse industrial structure of the city is enriched in the three industrial parks Oberes Enztal, Nord and West by various companies in medical technology as well as electronics and precision toolmaking. This economic security and stability, which has lasted for decades, as well as the beautiful nature all around, naturally also ensure that Birkenfeld is correspondingly attractive as a place to live and work. The demand for living space in the city is therefore growing steadily.Theaverage local real estate prices, currently just under 2,200 euros/m² for apartments and just under 335,000 euros for houses,aretherefore already slightly above the state averageinBaden-Württemberg and well above those in the surrounding Enzkreis district, but below those of the neighboring city of Pforzheim.

A still favorable alternative in the proximity of Karlsruhe, Böblingen and Stuttgart

Birkenfeld is therefore also interesting as a potential place of residence for commuters from there as well as from the nearby and respectively more expensive city and district of Karlsruhe. The price comparison with the neighboring districts of Böblingen and Ludwigshafen is even more positive for the lovable and livable small town. The state capital of Stuttgart, which has also become noticeably more expensive in recent years, is only a good 65 kilometers away and can be reached by car in about three quarters of an hour. With a total of 6 kindergartens and daycare centers, other childcare facilities, 3 elementary schools and a comprehensive school, as well as the youth music school in Neuenbürg, Birkenfeld, Straubenhardt and Engelsbrand, the town is also well equipped for the influx of families with children. A youth center, the Boy Scouts and several sports clubs also take care of the adolescents. Numerous specialists and general practitioners established in Birkenfeld as well as various offers for outpatient and inpatient care for the elderly also make the town a suitable residential area for senior citizens. Regular events such as the marketplace festival of the retailers, the blossom hike of the fruit and gardening association Gräfenhausen, the maypole setting and the radish festival are enjoyed by all generations as well as locals and visitors alike.There isalso a well-stocked community library and the community library in the Gräfenhausen district.

Village tranquility with good infrastructure, half-timbered houses and modern new buildings

This suburb, like the once independent village of Obernhausen, was incorporated into Birkenfeld in the early 1970s. Both districts are still characterized by a very pleasant quiet and rural character. Nevertheless, even here in the so-called "Kirschengäu" with its extensive fruit tree population and annual sea of blossoms in spring, the supply by supermarkets and retail trade is reliably guaranteed. Hikes and bicycle tours through the surrounding and almost 140 hectare large landscape conservation area Gräfenhausener Kirschgäu in the Kraichgau or in the nearby nature reserve Essigberg with extensive deciduous forests, semi-arid grasslands and mowing meadows are also a relaxing treat for nature lovers of all ages. Excursions to the small neighboring communities of Engelsbrand, Keltern, Neuenbürg and Straubenhardt are also recommended for cyclists and hikers. In terms of its building fabric, Birkenfeld shows itself to be well-kept, renovated, well preserved, and characterized by many beautiful half-timbered houses in the center around the marketplace and the town hall; buildings and structures of more recent date can be found, for example, in the municipal construction area Finkenstraße. As part of the redesign of the town center of the Gräfenhausen district between the town hall and Karlsruher Strasse, which has already begun, the new "Weingärtle Ost" building area has also been designated there, where single-family houses and semi-detached houses are to be built on a total of 80 building plots from the fall of 2014.
