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.
