Estate agent in Lichtenberg
For Lichtenberg, from Karlshorst and Rummelsburg Bay to Hohenschönhausen, BBI Immobilien brokers owner-occupied flats, houses and apartment buildings. The office is at Kurfürstendamm 178-179. From there our team of twelve staff, including ten estate agents, serves the whole of Berlin, with a focus on the City West. BBI is part of NAI apollo; the brand has existed since 1995. Asking prices here give around 34.7 annual rents in the purchase price, compared with around 30.6 in Berlin (IBB Housing Market Report 2025, own calculation). Apartment buildings sold in 2025 came to around 23 (Guthmann Estate, 25 sales). We appraise your property free of charge (method of the initial appraisal); the Selling page explains what the commission involves.
What the location shows
If you divide the median asking price by the median asking annual rent, Lichtenberg comes to around 34.7. In this calculation, that is the highest figure of the twelve districts; Berlin as a whole is at around 30.6 (IBB Housing Market Report 2025, table volume, our own calculation).
Karlshorst and the Rummelsburger Bucht push purchase prices up; the large housing estates in the north push rents down. For multi-family buildings actually sold, by contrast, the multiplier in 2025 was around 23 (Guthmann Estate, 25 sales), close to the Berlin average.
So there is a wide gap here between what is asked and what is paid. If you want to move in yourself and are looking for a waterside location or Karlshorst, this calculation is of little interest to you.
Neighbourhoods and locations
A single figure for the whole district lumps together very different markets. These locations shape Lichtenberg:
- Karlshorst: Villas and detached houses around the trotting track, the most expensive area in the district.
- Rummelsburg and Rummelsburger Bucht: A waterside location, with a lot of new building over the last twenty years.
- Friedrichsfelde and Fennpfuhl: Multi-family buildings from various decades, mostly rental flats.
- Alt- and Neu-Hohenschönhausen: The north of the district, with large housing estates and the lowest prices.
Prices per square metre in Lichtenberg 2026
In Lichtenberg, sellers asked for an average of €5,550 per square metre for flats according to the latest IBB Housing Market Report, against €5,789 across Berlin. The average asking rent was €13.33 per square metre per month (Berlin €15.78). That works out at 34.7 years of rent in the asking price, 30.6 across Berlin. For multi-family buildings sold by notary in 2026 up to 13 October, the multiple in the district was 18.1 (26 sales, Berlin 20.9). These are asking prices, not purchase prices; for your flat the street, building, floor and condition are decisive.

Selling in Lichtenberg
The price range between Karlshorst and Neu-Hohenschönhausen is one of the widest within any Berlin district. A single figure covering both parts is no help in setting the price. With let flats in the north, what matters most is the rent currently being paid, because it fixes the income for years.
BBI Immobilien is based on Kurfürstendamm and brokers property throughout Berlin. Our focus is City West. We work the same way for Lichtenberg. Market data backed by evidence, not gut feeling. An asking price that comes from the specific location. And, where it suits the property, a quiet approach to registered buyers first, before we publish widely.
Buying in Lichtenberg
If you buy to let, compare the multiplier with other districts. If you want to move in yourself, Karlshorst and the Rummelsburger Bucht are two of the most sought-after addresses in eastern Berlin, and demand is correspondingly high.

Frequently asked questions
Lichtenberg: frequently asked questions.
Answers as of 6 November 2026
Why is the price-to-rent multiplier in Lichtenberg so high?
Because asking prices have risen much more sharply than rents. Karlshorst and the Rummelsburger Bucht push purchase prices up, while the large housing estates in the north keep rents low. Since the multiplier is the purchase price divided by the rent, it rises sharply as a result. Asking prices give a figure of around 34.7 (IBB table volume 2025, our own calculation). For multi-family buildings actually sold, it was around 23 in 2025 (Guthmann Estate).
Is Lichtenberg a sensible choice for an investment property?
Calculated from asking prices and rents, a let flat here yields less than in almost any other Berlin district. There are still individual good flats and houses. But then you have to check carefully which tenancy agreements are running and which repairs are due, rather than relying on the district trend.
Which locations in Lichtenberg are in demand?
The most sought-after are Karlshorst, with its villas and detached houses, and the Rummelsburger Bucht on the water. Friedrichsfelde and Fennpfuhl are in the middle of the range; Hohenschönhausen is the least expensive.
How far apart are asking and paid prices in Lichtenberg?
Far apart. Asking prices and rents give around 34.7 annual rents in the purchase price (IBB Housing Market Report 2025, own calculation). For apartment buildings actually sold in 2025, Guthmann Estate gives around 23, based on 25 sales. That is close to the Berlin average.
What determines the price of a let flat in Lichtenberg?
Above all, the rent being paid today, because it fixes the income for years. This applies especially in the north of the district. The range between Karlshorst and Neu-Hohenschönhausen is among the widest within any Berlin district; a single figure for both parts does not help with pricing.
Who is Lichtenberg suitable for?
For owner-occupiers looking for Karlshorst or the waterside at Rummelsburg Bay, two of the most sought-after addresses in eastern Berlin. Anyone buying to let should compare the multiple of around 34.7 from asking prices against other districts. Berlin as a whole is at around 30.6.
