Obere AuRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
With a median of €24.8/m², this neighborhood has reached FINAL_BOSS status in terms of rental difficulty. These m² stats reflect the premium paid for river proximity and the prestigious 'Au' ZIP code. Our neighborhood analysis indicates that while the investment outlook is rock solid due to extreme scarcity, anything pushing the €30.5 upper limit is only worth it if the building has an elevator and a private courtyard.
The Vibe:Obere Au is the gritty-yet-polished strip squeezed between the Isar river and the Giesing plateau. The crowd is a mix of high-earning consultants and generational Munich families who have survived the intense gentrification wave. Life here revolves around the U2 line at Silberhornstraße and the steep stairs leading up the hill, with zero chance of finding a street parking spot after 6:00 PM.

Locals Ask
Is the average rent really that high for older buildings?
Yes, because the Au is a protected ensemble area; landlords charge for the facade and the 3-meter ceilings regardless of the plumbing age.
Can I survive in Obere Au with a car?
Only if you rent a private TG-Stellplatz for €150+ a month; otherwise, you’ll spend 20 minutes circling the block every night.
What is the impact of the Auer Dult on local residents?
Expect your street to be partially blocked and the air to smell like Steckerlfisch for nine days, three times a year.
Does the rental price drop as you move toward Giesing?
The m² stats dip slightly once you pass the 'Berg' ridge, but the proximity to the ring road makes those cheaper flats significantly noisier.
How competitive is the neighborhood analysis for new listings?
Extreme. A fairly priced flat in the €22/m² range will receive 200+ applications within four hours of going live.
