Living in Oberschleißheim: quiet and well connected between the palace, Bürgerplatz and Regattasee lake
Ideal location, quiet and green
Oberschleißheim is located to the north of the state capital and plays a special role in Munich's surrounding area. On the one hand, the municipality is clearly integrated into the Munich commuter area, but on the other hand, its landscape and history are much more distinctive than many other places in the surrounding area. Official municipal data lists seven districts - Badersfeld, Hochmutting, Kreuzstraße, Lustheim, Mallertshofen, Mittenheim and Neuherberg - and locates Oberschleißheim on an area of 30.6 km² around 15 kilometers north of Munich.
Neighboring towns and residential areas
From a residential perspective, Oberschleißheim is particularly understandable in conjunction with the northern and north-eastern locations of Munich. Those looking for a quieter residential location with very good rail connections often compare it with Unterschleißheim, Garching or the northern outskirts of Munich. In comparison, however, Oberschleißheim appears more historic, greener and generally less functional and technical - mainly due to the castle landscape, the smaller districts and the large open spaces around the regatta grounds and moss areas.

Oberschleißheim is particularly interesting as a place to live because several levels come together here: historical substance, quiet residential areas, family logic and very good accessibility. The town is a quiet residential area with good infrastructure and excellent transport links; at the same time, the municipality itself boasts schools, childcare, a weekly market, community center and other facilities close to everyday life. In terms of housing, the spectrum ranges from terraced and detached houses to more compact apartments in locations with strong everyday amenities.
This makes Oberschleißheim suitable for different target groups: for families looking for more peace and greenery, for professionals with a connection to Munich, for expats in the northern economic area and for buyers who prefer a long-term usable surrounding area with a strong identity profile. The decisive factor here is that although Oberschleißheim is not urban in the inner city sense, it offers much more in everyday life than a purely functional S-Bahn location.
Typical target groups in the town are, for example
- Professionals with jobs in Munich or in the north of Munich
- Families looking for a quieter place to live and a good infrastructure for children
- Expats and project workers in the context of temporary living
- Buyers with a focus on strong long-term residential locations in the surrounding area
- People who want to combine S-Bahn, open space and an independent townscape

Shopping
Oberschleißheim is well equipped for everyday needs. There are stores for daily needs, smaller stores and service providers; in addition, there is the weekly market on the Bürgerplatz with regional food. From a residential perspective, this means that the town not only functions through the quality of its excursions, but also through a useful local supply in everyday life.
Gastronomy
Oberschleißheim is clearly relevant to families. The municipality explicitly refers to a good range of childcare facilities and local schools; official evidence includes the Berglwaldschule primary and secondary school, the Parksiedlung elementary school, several kindergartens and day nurseries. The community pages on children and young people also emphasize playgrounds and local facilities. It is precisely this infrastructure that supports the town as a long-term residential location for families.
Leisure
With the palace park, regatta grounds and the open landscapes to the north and west, Oberschleißheim has a very strong connection to open space. The Olympic regatta facility is still an active performance center for rowing and canoeing; at the same time, together with the palace landscape, it creates an unusually generous green and water space directly in the town. This proximity to open spaces is one of the municipality's greatest residential advantages.
