About this property
The well-appointed residential buildings of the 360° project on the sprawling plot on the corner of Koppenstrasse and Lange Strasse were raised in 1958 and comprehensively modernised in the 1990s. The brightly painted façade with its brickwork elements, the large windows, the stands of old-growth trees, and the expansive lawns out front all combine to invest the 360° housing estate with a welcoming atmosphere. The impression is confirmed as you enter the buildings and pass through spacious, well-lit stairwells. The buildings divide into five floors of pleasantly bright flats with two to three-and-a-half rooms and straight-forward floor plans. The vary in size between 55 and 89 square metres, supplemented by basement storage rooms for each flat. Some flats already feature loggias with floor-to-ceiling windows. The other flats will have balconies added in conjunction with the conversion and new construction works that will start this year. Other amenities added for the convenience of the residents in the two buildings include lifts all the way up to the two new floors that will be created by topping up the buildings.
The site of the 360° apartment complex lies in the vibrant borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, which, while being the smallest borough of Berlin by area, is also the most popular one. It is home to around 277,000 people at the moment. And it is also a part of Berlin where history was made. The remaining segment of the Berlin Wall now known as East Side Gallery used to divide the two districts. Mercedes-Benz Arena, seating 17,000 spectators, is very close by. The Ostbahnhof railway station is one of the most frequented stations operated by Deutsche Bahn. Long-distance, regional and rapid-transit trains depart every minute to ensure swift and smooth mobility, while local transportation is provided by a number of bus lines. Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is a trendy borough with a reputation of attracting hipsters young and old and the creative set in general. In addition to many extraordinary fashion and design boutiques, you will find the most sought bars and restaurants here, as well as internationally renowned clubs.
Local recreational areas are found on the banks of the Spree River and in the sprawling parklands of Volkspark Friedrichshain which lends itself to all sorts of sporting activities. Culture aficionados are within easy reach of many downtown museums and famous sights or venues.
Koppenstrasse itself is a quiet side street connecting the sprawling avenue Karl-Marx-Allee, famous for its vintage Russian-inspired buildings from the 1950s, with the Media-City compound on the riverbank. The surrounding area is defined by a historically grown mix of various architectural styles. Both Karl-Marx-Allee and Frankfurter Allee are within walking distance, providing a wide spectrum of shopping venues for any kind of need.
Schools and preschools are located in the immediate vicinity, just minutes away. The nearby hipster neighbourhood of Simon-Dach-Strasse in Friedrichshain is rivalled by the bohemian Wrangelstrasse quarter on the opposite bank of the Spree River, in Kreuzberg. This part of Berlin has evolved in recent years to become one of the absolute hot spots, and counts among the city’s most coveted residential areas.
