Last updated: August 2026

A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 11th district. Strongest on Affordability and Green space, while Public transport is more of a trade-off.

Right at the eastern edge of the city, open space begins — light industry and housing blocks with room to breathe. Daily life is unhurried, and the nearby fields and green areas are felt right away. Getting to the centre takes a little more time, though.

How safe is Schwechat Grenze?

Safety in Schwechat Grenze: Excellent (8.3/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.

Is Schwechat Grenze dangerous?

Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Schwechat Grenze sits at 8.3 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 Schwechat Grenze?

Public transport in Schwechat Grenze: Good (7.0/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).

Is Schwechat Grenze noisy?

How hot does Schwechat Grenze get in summer?

In summer Schwechat Grenze is rather warm — about the Vienna average. Heat index 55 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled.

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.
