The market for privately owned townhouses in Berlin is booming. Owning a townhouse means short distances to work, no traffic jams and being close to every advantage the city has to offer.

For many well off middle class people owning a townhouse is a dream come true. It's part of a trend towards reurbanization and it's big business too: last year 3.5 billion euros was invested in town housing in Berlin's central district of Mitte.
