Frequently asked about Neubau

Is Neubau a good district to live in?

Neubau reaches a Living Score of 95 out of 100 (Top place to live). It is strongest on Public transport (Excellent), followed by Safety; Affordability is more of a trade-off. The score combines six dimensions from open data (City of Vienna OGD, OpenStreetMap, Wiener Linien, Statistics Austria).

How safe is Neubau?

Safety in Neubau: Good (7.8/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.

Is Neubau dangerous?

Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Neubau sits at 7.8 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Good). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.

How good is public transport in Neubau?

Public transport in Neubau: Excellent (10.0/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).

Is Neubau noisy?

Quiet in Neubau: Good (6.6/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. 23% of the district area sits above the 55 dB threshold, the loudest edge around 75 dB. The strongest single source is Lerchenfelder Straße. The busiest named axes here, by official annual traffic volume: Museumsplatz (~48,815/day), Museumstraße (~38,516/day), Lerchenfelder Straße (~19,423/day). Below 55 dB the official map records nothing, so “not mapped” never means “silent”.

How hot does Neubau get in summer?

In summer Neubau is heat-prone — warmer than the Vienna average. Heat index 66 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Dense, enclosed building form stores the day's heat and releases it slowly at night; there is little green to cool it. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.

How green is Neubau?

Green space in Neubau: Limited (3.0/10), about 4.5% green cover. Larger parks are a bit further away.

Who is Neubau a good fit for?

Most of all for people who value short trips by public transport and a safe area. Less ideal if good value for money is at the very top of your list — that's the trade-off here.
