Narrow lanes, densely built, daily life with pace. Cafés and small shops define Neubau, and in the evening a place to eat is quickly found around the corner. Larger parks are what is missing.
The streetscape is almost solidly Gründerzeit apartment houses.

Greenable roofs in Neubau
The roofs here are largely steep, the way the Gründerzeit built them; a build-up would not stay on. Of 98 hectares of roof area in the 7th district, 40 hectares are flat enough for greening — 40.7 %, of which 32 hectares lie up to 5°, where a deeper build-up with beds would also work. Greened, that area would hold back on the order of 70,000 cubic metres of rain a year that otherwise runs into the sewer.
Own calculation of roof pitch per roof face from the City of Vienna’s official roof model (LOD2.1, CC BY 4.0), suitability thresholds of 5° and 20° as in the City’s green-roof potential cadastre. Whether a roof is already green is unknown to a geometry model; plant rooms and chimneys are not subtracted, and the statics have a say. The retention is a model built from 626.3 mm of annual rainfall (Hohe Warte, 1991–2020) and the runoff coefficients of ÖNORM B 2501. All districts compared → What a single roof may still carry — an attic conversion or an added storey — is calculated from the zoning plan on Attic conversion in Vienna.

Is Neubau a good district to live in?
Neubau is among Vienna's most sought-after residential districts (Living Score 95/100), especially for Public transport and Safety. The honest trade-off is Affordability.
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?
Neubau is considered safe overall (safety 7.8/10 by the crime statistics). As everywhere there is more going on around big squares and stations; the residential streets are calmer. An orientation value, not an address statement.
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. 27% of the district area sits above the 55 dB threshold, the loudest edge around 75 dB. The strongest single source is Neubaugürtel. The busiest named axes here, by official annual traffic volume: Museumsplatz (~48,815/day), Museumstraße (~38,516/day), Neubaugürtel (~23,926/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 56), 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.
Is Neubau expensive?
Guide prices for Neubau: rent around €23.7/m², buying around €6,110/m² (rent: asking rent, carried forward; purchase: median of prices paid in 2025, Statistics Austria). Value for money in the Living Score: Low.

In Neubau: The streetscape is almost solidly Gründerzeit apartment houses. Per the City of Vienna building typology, around 90% of the residential buildings here are Gründerzeit apartment houses (1848–1918). How a single flat is laid out still depends on the individual building.
How much roof area in Neubau could be greened?
40 of the 98 hectares of roof area are greenable by pitch, that is 40.7 %. The roofs here are largely steep, the way the Gründerzeit built them; a build-up would not stay on. The figure comes from an own calculation of the pitch of every roof face in the City of Vienna’s official roof model, and says nothing about which roofs are already green.
