Viktoria-Luise-Platz and the Bayerisches Viertel (Bavarian Quarter) remain very much in demand. The reason is that it has attractive places to live. There are areas where stately old buildings from the imperial era were left undamage by the Second World War. There you can still find old servant’s stairways tucked behind impressive foyers and spacious apartments. Modern buildings are present in the parts of the Bavarian Quarter that face major damage in the war. The last remaining gaps ends with new upscale buildings. The Friedenau subdistrict in the south still has a large number of old stucco buildings remaining. The district is also very green. All thanks to the fact that many of the houses on the mostly quiet streets have front gardens.

Marienfelde and Lichtenrade have a suburban character, and their historical centres still offer a village-likecharm.
