Real estate agent Steinbach (Taunus)
Steinbach is the small giant of the Vordertaunus: one of Germany's most densely populated municipalities on just 4.4 square kilometres — and that is exactly what makes the market here distinctive. Where land is scarce, every property counts twice. We know the difference between the grown town centre around the "Bütt" and the new quarters on the edge, and which buyer is drawn to which location. For owners that means: no property gets lost in the crowd.

Our read of the Steinbach market
Portal data for Steinbach scatters unusually widely — asking prices for houses range from around €3,600 to €5,150 per m², yielding a realistic core band of roughly €4,000 to €5,000 per m², trending stable to slightly rising. Apartments sit at around €3,650 to €3,980 per m² and are edging down. The decisive point for sellers is the price advantage over the neighbourhood: houses trade noticeably below the directly adjacent office hub of Eschborn — making Steinbach a target for commuters into Frankfurt's banking district and Eschborn. Whoever addresses that demand correctly sells here quickly and at a fair price.
Sought-after locations in Steinbach
Historischer Ortskern / Altstadt
The organically grown, fine-grained fabric around St George's church and the "Bütt" fountain: older stock, short distances and a lively neighbourhood. Popular with buyers who value village-style community yet want to reach the S-Bahn within minutes.
Neuere Wohngebiete am Stadtrand
The family-oriented detached-house and new-build areas sit at the edge of Steinbach's compact area. ImmoScout24's regional profile notes that families favour precisely these quieter streets with larger plots — a stable, high-demand segment.
Im Taubenzehnten (Neubauquartier)
The active development area above the cemetery is bringing multi-storey apartment construction to Steinbach, with around 30 % affordable housing. Owners and buyers of a modern new-build here meet young demand and clearly defined property standards.
Eschborner Straße (BP IV)
On the eastern edge towards Eschborn and the S-Bahn, GBS Effizienzbau is building the Eschborner Straße project. The location benefits from its proximity to the Eschborn office hub and short routes to the S5 — ideal for commuters.

- St George's church (c. 1270) with its historic 1622 bell, and the "Bütt" fountain fed by the Steinbach stream, are the landmarks that define the historic town centre.

FAQs on selling in Steinbach
How much does a house in Steinbach (Taunus) cost?
Property portals list asking prices of roughly €4,000 to €5,000 per m² for houses in Steinbach (as of 2026), with individual sources ranging from €3,600 to €5,150 per m². The trend is stable to slightly rising. Actual value depends heavily on location, plot and condition — an individual valuation beats any statistic.
Is Steinbach worthwhile for commuters to Frankfurt or Eschborn?
Yes. From the Oberursel-Weißkirchen/Steinbach station the S5 runs directly into central Frankfurt, and the Eschborn office hub is practically next door. On top of that, houses in Steinbach trade noticeably cheaper than in neighbouring Eschborn — a key reason commuters seek the town out.

Apartments in Steinbach are currently offered at €3,650 to €3,980 per m² on average, with a slightly softening trend. New-builds in the Im Taubenzehnten quarter and older stock in the historic centre differ markedly in fit-out and price. Our free valuation gives you a well-founded personal assessment.
Why a local agent in Steinbach rather than a large portal?
Because Steinbach is a compact, fine-grained market where much is decided through personal contacts. We know the streets between the town centre and the new edge quarters, maintain a curated register of qualified buyers for the Vordertaunus, and combine sale, valuation and potential refurbishment from a single source.
