Schönefeld has rapidly transitioned from a transit-centric hub into a high-demand residential satellite, driving m² Prices upward as Berlin's spillover demand intensifies. Recent large-scale residential developments are struggling to meet the surge of airport-adjacent professionals, creating a notable supply squeeze in the rental sector.
