The spectrum of accommodation is Steglitz is unusually broad. You can find everything here, from comfortable single-family homes to run-down student apartments, from late-19th century Gründerzeit mansions to concrete-block 1960s housing projects. As one might expect with such a range of housing stock, prices also vary widely. Overall, home purchase prices and rents are higher than average for Berlin, but lower then in neighbouring Zehlendorf and Dahlem. The area around Fichtenberg and the Botanical Garden, considered an especially desirable neighbourhood, includes a number of Bauhaus-era luxury homes.
