The 23rd District: Vienna's Southernmost Borough
Liesing is by far Vienna's largest district by area and has around 100,000 residents. What makes it special: it combines genuine urban infrastructure with a quality of life that is hard to find in the more densely populated inner districts. Here you'll still find quiet residential streets, green spaces right on your doorstep, and yet everything daily life requires.
The area encompasses several neighbourhoods with distinct characters – from Inzersdorf to Erlaa, Rodaun and Kalksburg. Each neighbourhood has its own identity, held together by excellent public infrastructure.
Public Transport: Vienna's Centre at Your Doorstep via the U6
Living in 1230 Vienna puts you directly on the U6 – the line connecting southern Vienna to the centre. The stations Siebenhirten, Erlaaer Straße, Alterlaa, Perfektastraße and Liesing are all within the 23rd district.
- U6 Liesing to Karlsplatz: approx. 22 minutes
- U6 Liesing to Westbahnhof: approx. 18 minutes
- S-Bahn Liesing for connections towards Baden, Wiener Neustadt and Klagenfurt
- Several bus routes serve the quieter side streets away from the metro
The apartment on Dernjacgasse is just 5 minutes on foot from U6 station Liesing – ideal for working professionals who commute into the city daily but love coming home to peace and quiet.
