Location
The district of Ensen/Westhoven, located on the right bank of the Rhine in southern Cologne, represents what many people appreciate most about Cologne: a well-established neighborhood structure with a heart, history, and a genuine sense of community. It offers a residential environment that ideally combines urban living with access to nature, providing a pleasant alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city center. Essential amenities for daily needs, including discount stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, bakeries, beverage stores, hairdressers, and general and specialist doctors, are all within walking distance. Kindergartens and primary schools are also easily accessible. The apartment is located in a quiet but central area on a residential street with a speed limit of 30 km/h. Ample free parking is available in the surrounding area. The established environment is characterized by single-family homes and smaller multi-family buildings. Public transportation links are excellent. The tram line 7 (a short 5-minute walk to the Gilgaustr. or Berliner Str. stop) quickly connects you to the center of Cologne or to the DB train stations of Cologne-Porz and Cologne-Deutz. The A4 and A59 motorways are just a few minutes away, ensuring excellent transport links. Only a short distance away, the Rhine riverbank offers opportunities for long walks, jogging, or cycling. The Rhine cycle path leads south to Zündorf and north, through the Poller Wiesen area, to Cologne-Deutz. Numerous sports clubs, leisure activities, and a pleasant community make this district particularly attractive. A special meeting point is the historic Engelshof, with its community center, Engelshof e.V. This protected historical complex is now a popular place for culture, events, a variety of courses, and social gatherings. Ensen-Westhoven – a Cologne district with history, community, and a high quality of life. It's a place where you feel at home.

Solid Owners' Association – sustainably managed and forward-looking maintenance:
The apartment is part of a well-maintained owners' association comprising a total of 34 residential units, spread across two multi-family buildings located next to each other. The buildings were constructed in 1962, and the attic apartments (two in each building) were added later in 1994/95, making them distinct from the other apartments. The residential complex is professionally and proactively managed, and boasts a solid financial foundation. There is no backlog of necessary maintenance; required measures are continuously planned and implemented. Investments made in recent years include:
• Replacement of the roof approximately 10 years ago.
• New central heating system (2023), which can be switched from oil to gas.
• Extensive renovation of the drinking water and wastewater pipes in the basement (2025), including backflow preventers, water filters, and implementation of current fire safety regulations.
• Replacement of the electrical installation in the basement in 2017, including switches in the individual cellars. As of December 31, 2025, the homeowners' association's maintenance reserve totaled €220,673, providing a solid foundation for the long-term preservation of the property's value. The ongoing management is also impressive: the annual reports consistently show figures below the projections in the respective management plan, so that a surplus will be refunded for 2025, resulting in service charges significantly lower than the monthly amounts paid. This provides a high level of planning security and stable operating costs for tenants.
Important information:
The apartment does not have a balcony. However, you benefit from its proximity to the Rhine, with its extensive green spaces and promenades. The Poller Wiesen, the Rhine embankment, and the Rhine cycle path are just a few minutes' walk away, offering ideal opportunities for relaxation, walks, sports, and outdoor activities. Combined with the charming atmosphere of the attic apartment, the bright rooms, the excellent location, and the stable monthly service charges, this creates an attractive overall package. It is suitable both as a comfortable home for singles or couples, and as an attractive investment with long-term potential and quick rental possibilities. The energy performance certificate was created before the replacement of the heating system (2023). The new condensing technology is likely to have led to an improvement in the values listed in the 2018 energy performance certificate.
