Hamburg's green west – nature, tranquility and proximity to the Elbe

Rissen is the westernmost district of Hamburg and offers a quality of living that is rare in the metropolis: direct proximity to the Hamburg City Forest, short distances to the Elbe riverbank and a tranquility that is not found in inner-city areas. Those who buy a house in Rissen consciously choose nature and spaciousness – without having to forego the infrastructure of a large city.

The neighborhood is characterized by single-family homes and bungalows from the 1950s to the 1980s, many of which have large plots of land and old trees. The locations near the Klövensteen Forest and along the Elbuferweg are particularly popular with families and nature lovers.

Anyone wishing to sell a house in Rissen benefits from a stable demand from the family segment and from buyers who deliberately prefer the quiet suburban area to the urban hustle and bustle. The prices are moderate compared to Blankenese and Nienstedten – with comparable quality of life.
