Apartments to rent in Berlin Wilmersdorf

Living in the beautiful district Wilmersdorf

Wilmersdorf is overlooked by many apartment seekers. Wrongly so because Wilmersdorf has much to offer. Above all, beautiful apartments in a well-kept residential environment, Wilmersdorf stands for quality of life.
Wilmersdorf was once a small rural community. The Berliners came for weekend trips to relax here. Even today, living in Wilmersdorf is quieter and more relaxed than in the city center. Upper middle-class Wilmersdorf is an ideal district for temporary living. Here you will find a wide range of apartments. A lot was built here at the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th century, mainly for the wealthy bourgeoisie. Many streets with old buildings from this time are completely preserved.

Selection of furnished apartments in Wilmersdorf to rent:



The apartments for the wealthy bourgeoisie had generous layouts and at that time already had modern comforts such as elevators.  The typical Berlin tenement homes with high density of people, small spaces, narrow buildings and dark apartments are not to be found here.
Today Wilmersdorf is particularly popular with families. But even temporary tenants will feel at home here if you are intrigued by a quieter neighbourhood and are less enthusiastic about overcrowded trendy districts.
