First occupancy after renovation: 2.5 rooms, city center location, balcony, bathroom: bathtub, shower, and window.

The building features a thermally insulated exterior facade, and the attic spaces are also fully insulated. The apartment has modern, double-glazed plastic windows, with the windows facing the street being fitted with soundproofing glass. This is a well-maintained building with 8 apartments, and it is home exclusively to single-person and two-person households, making it a very quiet building. The basement contains the storage rooms and a designated space for tenants to install their own washing machines. Each apartment has its own separate storage cellar.

The modern gas central heating system also provides hot water, which is metered separately, so that each tenant only pays for what they consume. There are no energy-intensive appliances such as instant water heaters or under-counter refrigerators, as the hot water supply is already included in the heating costs. The entrance door to the building was replaced some time ago. As part of this, all apartments were fitted with an intercom system. The staircase has windows, making it quite bright. Access to the shared house garden is from the basement.

The property at Rathausplatz 28 is located on the corner of Moltkestraße, directly opposite the tax office and diagonally across from the former post office in Hattingen. This is where the pedestrian zone of Moltkestraße begins, from which all the shops in Hattingen's city center are easily accessible on foot. The S-Bahn station for trains to Essen and the bus station at Reschop are also within a 10-minute walk, providing bus and tram connections to Bochum and the neighboring towns. Behind the house is a small garden, accessible from the house via a courtyard door, and shared by the residents with the neighboring house at Moltkestraße 3. This garden is enclosed by a wall and is accessible and usable only by the residents of the two houses. It's a quiet, green space, yet completely central.
