Landstraße is a district of rented flats. In the 2021 census, 51% of residents lived in privately financed rentals, 22% in municipal or other public housing, 12% in owner-occupied homes and 9% in cooperative flats.

Many flats are in buildings from before 1919, where the Tenancy Act usually applies fully and the basic rent is capped by the Vienna reference value (€6.74 per m² from 1 April 2026, plus surcharges and deductions). There is no official rent figure for the district.

The city counts 38 parks in the district, and the Belvedere gardens are within the district. Green space is limited compared with outer districts, so check the distance to the nearest park when you look at flats.
