Who is it for? Ideal for parents who want to provide their child with their own apartment for their studies at RWTH Aachen University, rather than paying rent for years – quiet location, 5 minutes from the university, with a private courtyard. Easily rentable after studies. Also suitable as an investment property in a location with consistently high demand. The building comprises 8 apartments, has a full basement, and includes a laundry room and a covered bicycle storage area (shared property). The building is managed directly by the owners' association, eliminating the costs of an external property management company. The facade of the main building, renovated in 2024, is a listed building; the apartment itself is freely modernizable. All apartments have been continuously rented since 1976, primarily to students, professors, and employees of RWTH Aachen University. The roof and facade of the main building were renovated in 2024, and the roof of the extension was renovated in 2004; further renovations are detailed in the "Other" section. Financial aspects: The realistic cold rent is approximately €590-€600 per month (€9/m² based on a total living area of 66 m²). The monthly building service charges are €220, including an advance payment for heating costs, of which approximately €190 are eligible for reimbursement. The declaration of division and related documents are available.

Johanniterstraße is a quiet, lightly trafficked side street in a prime city center location – the main building of RWTH (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule) and the market square are just a few minutes' walk away. Consequently, there is high demand from students and university staff.

Within a radius of approximately 400 meters, you'll find organic and conventional supermarkets, bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. Parking is relatively easy thanks to resident parking schemes: there are plenty of parking spaces in the immediate vicinity, and they are usually free for residents.
