Living in Oberhaching: Green and Close to the City in the South
Upscale residential area south of Munich
Oberhaching is located in the southern part of the Munich district, east of Grünwald and about 16 kilometers from the Zentrum in Munich. The municipality is part of the Hachinger Valley and stretches from the more densely populated north—including Oberhaching, Deisenhofen, and Furth—to smaller towns and hamlets in the south. This layout combines a well-developed everyday infrastructure with rural residential areas.
The Hachinger Bach, the Gleißental Valley, and the surrounding forested areas define the natural landscape. At the same time, employment opportunities and recreational activities in southern Munich—in Unterhaching, Taufkirchen, and Grünwald—are within easy reach.
Neighboring Municipalities
Unterhaching and Taufkirchen lie to the north and northeast. Grünwald is to the west, while Straßlach-Dingharting and Sauerlach border the town to the south. As a result, Oberhaching is situated at an attractive crossroads between the Munich metropolitan area and the more rural regions leading toward the Oberland.
Anyone looking to rent or buy an apartment or a house in Oberhaching benefits from the proximity to Munich as well as easy access to forests, the Isar Valley, and the foothills of the Alps.
