Eberswalde as an investment location for real estate
Commuter location with rail connection and growing demand
As a medium-sized center in Barnim, Eberswalde benefits from the direct regional rail connection to Berlin via RE3 and RB24 as well as the nearby S-Bahn connection in Bernau (S2), which strengthens accessibility and commuter attractiveness. Despite temporary construction measures in 2025 with replacement services, the increased frequency and expansion plans as part of i2030 demonstrate a structural improvement in the rail infrastructure in the north-east corridor, which will secure the quality of the location in the long term. The combination of high everyday quality, proximity to the campus and good supply creates a broad tenant base from students to commuters to families and supports stable rentability in locations close to the railroad station and city center.
Micro-location advantages: City center, campus surroundings and waterfront districts
Central micro-locations around the train station and the historic city center with short distances to public transport, shopping, schools and daycare centers are in demand, which favors low fluctuation and reliable cash flows. Addresses close to the campus benefit from short distances to the university and a constant pulse of demand, while green and waterfront locations offer additional quality of life and lines of sight. In the regional competitive environment, Eberswalde is considered a growth winner in the Berlin area, as the shortage in the metropolis triggers spillover demand and additionally stabilizes lettability in well-connected districts.
Market picture and strategies from core to value-add
Market reports point to attractive gross rental yields, particularly in the portfolio segment, which means that Eberswalde remains interesting for yield-oriented investors. Core strategies focus on refurbished properties close to the city center and railroad station with a solid demand base, while value-add leverages additional leverage through energy modernization, floor plan optimization, loft conversions and repositioning of ground floor space. Infrastructure stimuli in the rail network - from increased frequency to capacity expansion - support the exit prospects, even if interim construction measures require temporary replacement services
