Living in the Olympiazentrum: a green residential area with the Olympic Park and easy access to the city
The Olympic Park as a neighbor
The Olympiazentrum is located in City District 11, Milbertshofen-Am Hart. The southern part of the district encompasses a large section of the Olympic Park, which was built on the northern part of the Oberwiesenfeld. This is where the most important sports facilities and the well-known Olympic Village are located.
This location is particularly attractive in terms of quality of life: The Olympiazentrum is far more than just a transportation hub. It forms a distinct residential neighborhood with a strong park-like and community-oriented character.
The Olympiadorf is characterized by dense development, some of which resembles high-rises, while at the same time offering quiet, family-friendly living. The immediate proximity to spacious sports facilities, green spaces, and open areas further contributes to the high quality of life and living conditions.
The area was further enhanced by the relocation of Petuelring into a tunnel. Since 2004, a landscaped park has connected the neighborhoods of Milbertshofen and Schwabing. As a result, the area now appears significantly less fragmented by major traffic arteries and offers a more pleasant connection between the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Overall, the Olympiazentrum combines urban living with abundant green spaces, easy access to recreational and sports facilities, and a distinct, established neighborhood character.
Neighboring Districts
From a residential and navigational perspective, the Olympiazentrum is often perceived as part of a group that includes Milbertshofen, Am Hart, Oberwiesenfeld, and Schwabing-West. This classification makes sense, as its location bridges distinct urban areas.
Toward Milbertshofen, the surroundings are more dominated by residential areas and everyday amenities. Toward Am Hart, the development appears more open, and the surroundings are greener overall. Toward Schwabing-West, on the other hand, the urban and inner-city character becomes much more pronounced, with denser development.
The Olympiazentrum is thus situated, in a sense, between these different residential environments. It benefits from its connecting location, as green spaces, residential neighborhoods, urban structures, and good transportation connections all converge here.

The Olympiazentrum is particularly appealing to people who want to live in a green, quiet neighborhood that’s also very well connected. A unique feature is the Olympiadorf, which was planned as a “city within a city.” Housing, amenities, and essential services for daily life are all concentrated in a compact area here.
The four access roads run underground, keeping the surface largely car-free. This creates a quieter living environment and remains a distinctive feature of the neighborhood to this day.
Despite the large-scale architecture, the residential environment often feels surprisingly quiet and family-friendly in everyday life. Spacious open areas and short distances further contribute to the pleasant living atmosphere.
Another advantage is the immediate proximity to parks, sports facilities, and cultural offerings. Many recreational and leisure opportunities are right on your doorstep, making the Olympiazentrum a versatile residential area with high recreational value.
This neighborhood is ideal, for example, for the following people:
- Families looking for plenty of green space and short distances
- Working professionals who need direct access to the subway
- International residents with ties to BMW, the university, or those seeking temporary housing
- People looking for temporary, furnished housing in a distinctive yet practical location

The Olympiadorf features a central shopping street with stores and services for daily needs that is directly integrated into the neighborhood’s car-free network of paths. This makes it easy to run many everyday errands on foot.
For a wider selection, the Olympia Shopping Center is also located nearby. With around 135 stores, it offers a broad range of products—from groceries and drugstore items to fashion, beauty, electronics, and services. As a result, the residential area combines convenient local amenities within the neighborhood with extensive shopping options in the surrounding area.
Gastronomy
Around the Olympiazentrum, dining blends particularly well with leisure and relaxation. The Olympic Park features restaurants, cafés, outdoor seating areas, and seasonal dining options that are perfect for combining with a walk, some exercise, or attending an event.
Especially during the warmer months, a relaxed atmosphere prevails around the Olympic Lake and the park areas. Whether it’s afternoon coffee, dining with friends, or a break in the great outdoors—dining options are right in the neighborhood and complement the high quality of leisure and life at the Olympiazentrum.
