Renovated 3-room apartment with balcony in Rüttenscheid, Essen.

Completely renovated 3-room apartment on the 3rd floor of a well-maintained apartment building in Essen-Rüttenscheid.

The apartment was completely modernized in 2026: new bathroom, completely new electrical wiring and plumbing, new radiators, and high-quality vinyl flooring with an oak finish throughout all rooms. A newly created opening between the kitchen and the living/dining area creates an open, spacious feel – a rare feature in this building's age range. A new fitted kitchen will be completed in May 2026.

The 73 m² apartment offers two bedrooms, a bright, open living and dining area connected to the kitchen, and a large balcony with over 11 m² of space – facing a quiet, green courtyard. A private storage room in the basement and the option to rent a garage space (€50) complete the offering.

Heating is provided via district heating with new radiators. The homeowners' association is financially stable and ensures a well-maintained environment.

Rüttenscheid is one of the most sought-after residential areas in Essen – and for good reason. Located at Virgiliastraße 23, the property is quiet yet well-connected: public transport is just a 2-minute walk away, and the motorway is a 3-minute drive.

Everything you need for daily life is within walking distance. There are charming cafes just a 3-minute walk away. The popular RÜ (presumably a local establishment) is reachable in 10 minutes on foot. The Alfried Krupp Hospital is also located nearby. For leisure and culture, the Grugapark, cinema, concert hall, or theater are all just a few minutes away by bike.

This location is ideal for students looking for shared accommodation, couples, and small families alike.
