A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 22nd district. Strongest on Public transport and Safety, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
A planned place by the lake that feels almost like a small town of its own, with the Seepark at its centre. Daily life flows calmly and much is quickly at hand. Getting into the centre takes its time, though.

Where is Seestadt Aspern?
Seestadt Aspern is in Vienna's 22nd district (Donaustadt), postal code 1220.
How safe is Seestadt Aspern?
Safety in Seestadt Aspern: Excellent (8.8/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Seestadt Aspern dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Seestadt Aspern sits at 8.8 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 Seestadt Aspern?
Public transport in Seestadt Aspern: Excellent (8.8/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Seestadt Aspern noisy?
Quiet in Seestadt Aspern: Excellent (8.0/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. Part of the area sits along Groß-Enzersdorfer 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 Seestadt Aspern get in summer?
In summer Seestadt Aspern is moderate — cooler than the Vienna average. Heat index 50 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 Seestadt Aspern?
Green space in Seestadt Aspern: Excellent (8.8/10). Parks and greenery shape everyday life here.
Who is Seestadt Aspern a good fit for?
