A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 10th district. Strongest on Green space and Affordability, while Air quality is more of a trade-off.
At the Wienerberg you find plenty of green and quiet, almost a small world of its own above the city. The wide gardens and the pond shape a day that unfolds at ease. The centre is well connected, but evenings turn still quickly.
Social housing shapes the area — big courtyards, solid blocks.
This Grätzl is strongly shaped by the Gemeindebau — municipal housing estates from Red Vienna define many of its streets.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Wienerberg is mid-density: open stretches alternate with tighter street blocks. The slope takes part of the low evening sun early. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 12.2 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 8 in December. Even the low winter sun gets through well here. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

How safe is Wienerberg?

Is Wienerberg dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Wienerberg 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.

Is Wienerberg noisy?
