Main-Kinzig-Kreis · Rhine-Main
Real estate agent Hanau
Hanau is the quiet winner of the eastern Rhine-Main area: first-class rail links, a thoroughly renewed inner city and prices well below the western Taunus. Those seeking more space for their money out of Frankfurt increasingly end up here. For owners that means a broad, growing pool of buyers — provided the marketing reaches them.

Locations & districts
Sought-after locations in Hanau
Kernstadt & Forum
Around the market square, Freiheitsplatz and the new Forum Hanau, the inner city has changed noticeably in recent years: new-build apartments meet renovated stock. Those wanting to live centrally and car-free find the shortest routes here to rail, retail and Brothers Grimm culture.
Kesselstadt & Wilhelmsbad
From the Philippsruhe palace park to the Wilhelmsbad state park, Hanau's green, upscale residential areas line the Main. Villas and generous detached houses near the parks form the city's upper price segment here.
Steinheim & Großauheim
The districts south of the Main preserve village character with half-timbering and established neighbourhoods: solid detached, terraced and semi-detached houses, popular with families seeking space and an affordable entry into the Rhine-Main area.

Hanau as a place to live
- Brothers Grimm city and regional centre of the eastern Rhine-Main: after reconstruction, a modern, growing inner core with the Forum Hanau shapes the picture today.
- In price terms the attractive counterpole to the expensive western Taunus — buyers get noticeably more space for the same budget here, with first-class rail links to Frankfurt.
- As a real estate agent in the Rhine-Main area we serve Hanau as an eastern anchor and know the demand from Frankfurt that increasingly moves to Hanau.
Connections
Hanau is a rail hub: the main station is an ICE/IC stop, RB and RE reach Frankfurt in around 15 to 20 minutes, and the S9 ties in the region. Via the A66, A45 (Sauerland line) and the nearby A3, Hanau is one of the best-connected medium-sized centres east of Frankfurt — one reason for the stable commuter demand.
