A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 23rd district. Strongest on Green space and Safety, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
The Wienerwald sits right outside the door and sets the calm rhythm of this old village core. Old houses and gardens shape the lanes, and in the evening, stillness settles in quickly.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Rodaun is low and openly built — plenty of free sky above the rooftops. The hillside shapes the sun’s path here as well. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 14.3 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 5.4 in December. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

Frequently asked about Rodaun
What is it like to live in Rodaun?
Rodaun reaches a Living Score of 92 out of 100 (Top place to live). It is strongest on Green space (Excellent), followed by Safety; Quiet is more of a trade-off. The score combines six dimensions from open data (City of Vienna OGD, OpenStreetMap, Wiener Linien, Statistics Austria).
Where is Rodaun?
Rodaun is in Vienna's 23rd district (Liesing), postal code 1230.
How safe is Rodaun?
Safety in Rodaun: Excellent (9.2/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Rodaun dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Rodaun sits at 9.2 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). 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 Rodaun?
Public transport in Rodaun: Good (7.8/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Rodaun noisy?
Quiet in Rodaun: Good (7.4/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. Part of the area sits along Breitenfurter Straße; a few streets further in it gets noticeably quieter. Right there you raise your voice to talk, and a phone call on the pavement gets tiring (calculated above 70 dB by day). At night it calms down noticeably — the level drops below the threshold at which mapping begins.
How hot does Rodaun get in summer?
In summer Rodaun is moderate — cooler than the Vienna average. Heat index 47 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Green cover, trees and open, low building form let the night cool down. 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 Rodaun?
Green space in Rodaun: Excellent (9.8/10). Parks and greenery shape everyday life here.
Who is Rodaun a good fit for?
Most of all for people who value lots of greenery at the doorstep and a safe area. Less ideal if quiet is at the very top of your list — that's the trade-off here.
Is Rodaun expensive?
Guide prices for Rodaun: rent around €16.5/m², buying around €6,800/m² (indexed orientation). Value for money in the Living Score: Excellent.
