How much does a bungalow cost in Munich?

The price depends primarily on the plot of land, as this type of house takes up a lot of land in relation to its living space. The location, plot size and condition of the building have a greater influence on the price range than is the case with multi-storey houses. We provide a verifiable price estimate based on actual transactions.

Where can I find bungalows in Munich and the surrounding area?

They are concentrated in areas with large plots of land – in the surrounding areas, particularly in Grünwald, Solln and Pullach; within the city itself, they are most commonly found in the west, in Obermenzing, Untermenzing and Pasing. In the densely built-up city centre, they are the exception.

What styles of bungalow are there?

There are three common types: the atrium bungalow with an internal courtyard, the flat-roofed bungalow from the 1960s and 1970s, and the modern, newly built bungalow designed to meet current energy efficiency and accessibility standards.

Are bungalows really that hard to come by in Munich?

Yes. Their single-storey design means that the entire living space is spread over one level, and consequently requires a large plot of land. However, spacious plots are the exception in urban areas. As a result, such properties only come onto the market in a few select locations and in limited numbers.

What is an atrium bungalow?

An atrium bungalow arranges the rooms around an internal, open courtyard. The atrium brings natural light into the centre of the space and creates a sheltered outdoor area that is not visible from the outside.

Who is a bungalow particularly suitable for?

For anyone who wants to live on one level without stairs: often buyers aged 50 and over, homeowners downsizing from a large house, and families who appreciate a step-free transition between living areas and the garden.

Can you rent bungalows in Munich as well?

Yes, although it’s rare. The same limited supply applies to rentals as it does to buying. You can find suitable listings and information on the ‘Rent a bungalow in Munich’ page.

Buying a bungalow in Munich — single-storey, accessible, a rare find

Last updated: 24. August 2026 | Reading time: 9 minutes

Single-storey houses with their own plot of land are rare in the city and the surrounding area. RIEDEL acts as an agent for them wherever they can actually be found. A bungalow in Munich combines two things that rarely go hand in hand in a densely built-up city: living on a single level and having one’s own plot of land with a garden. For those who wish to live at ground level, without stairs and with direct access to the outdoors, this type of property offers an alternative to multi-storey detached houses. The number of such properties on the market is limited, and there is a practical reason for this: A single-storey building requires a large footprint per square metre of living space, and it is precisely this space that is in short supply in urban areas. As a family-run business based in Munich since 1982, RIEDEL acts as an agent for sold properties and knows the few locations where they can actually be found.

Buying a bungalow in Munich: the property type

The property type is clearly defined: a single-storey house, with all its rooms on one level and usually surrounded by a garden. This style of construction makes use of the space horizontally rather than vertically, which is why a single-storey house in Munich requires a comparatively large plot of land. Anyone wishing to buy a bungalow in Munich should therefore look in areas where plots of this size are still available.

Unlike with an architect-designed house, the focus with a bungalow in Munich is primarily on the style of living, not the distinctive style of a particular design. If architectural design is the main priority, the search is more likely to lead to architect-designed houses in Munich. Here, however, it is the single-storey construction that is the defining feature. Within this framework, three styles have emerged.

Atrium bungalow

The atrium bungalow in Munich arranges the rooms around an internal courtyard. This atrium brings light into the centre of the space and creates a sheltered outdoor area that is not visible from the street. For buyers who value privacy, this layout is often the deciding factor.

Flat-roofed bungalow

The flat-roofed bungalow in Munich follows in the tradition of post-war modernism: horizontal lines, large windows and a close connection between the interior and the garden. Many of these properties date from the 1960s and 1970s and, as such, raise questions regarding roof construction, insulation and building services.

Modern, newly built bungalow

It takes the basic concept of a single-storey design and adapts it to modern standards: in terms of energy efficiency, accessibility and floor plan layout. Such properties are usually built where a suitable plot of land becomes available, and therefore remain the exception.

Where bungalows are located: Grünwald, Solln, Pullach and the west

Such houses are scattered across Munich and the surrounding area in a handful of, mostly established, residential neighbourhoods with large plots of land. In the densely built-up city centre, they are the exception. Most of these properties are situated on the outskirts of the city and in the surrounding area, where plots have traditionally been more spacious.

Grünwald

Grünwald, situated south of the city limits, is known for its quiet residential areas with detached houses and large, leafy plots. In this setting, the space required for a single-storey house can be easily accommodated. You can find out more about the area and the properties available there on the ‘Property in Grünwald’ page.

Solln

In the south-west, these areas combine established neighbourhoods of detached houses with good transport links. Here, one can find a few older examples of this type of housing dating from the post-war decades, many of which offer scope for modernisation.

Pullach

Pullach im Isartal is characterised by its proximity to the River Isar and its low-density development. Plots with mature trees and on slopes are common, which favours single-storey buildings.

The west, comprising Obermenzing, Untermenzing and Pasing

In the west of the city, Obermenzing, Untermenzing and Pasing offer quiet residential streets, some with large plots of land. It is in these neighbourhoods that single-storey houses are most commonly found within the city limits, albeit in small numbers.

Who a bungalow is particularly suitable for

The fact that it is all on one level makes this type of house appealing to people who plan ahead. Buyers aged 50 and over appreciate the fact that there are no stairs and that daily life can be organised without having to negotiate steps – an advantage that becomes increasingly valuable over the years and ensures the property remains usable throughout different stages of life.

This style of house is equally popular with owners who wish to move from a large detached house to a more manageable, yet still detached, home with a garden. For families, on the other hand, the seamless transition between living spaces and outdoor areas is key. In all cases, the focus is less on prestige and more on the practical living benefits of a single-level property.

What matters when buying: plot, condition, floor plan

With this type of house, the plot of land has a greater influence on the value than with most other types of property, because a single storey has to accommodate the entire living space. The layout, orientation, mature trees and the potential for extension or development should therefore be assessed at an early stage.

The condition of the building is closely linked to its age. Older properties with flat roofs warrant a close inspection of the roof, insulation, windows and building services, whilst a new-build will already meet current standards in these areas. The floor plan is also important, as single-storey construction requires a well-thought-out layout of living, sleeping and ancillary rooms on a single level. Privacy in the garden, potential accessibility and the long-term value potential of the plot round off the criteria that we go through together during every viewing.

Advice, networking and discreet placement

RIEDEL is part of the international property network of Christie’s International Real Estate. For high-quality properties in the upmarket segment, this opens up access to a supra-regional and international client base. In this segment, RIEDEL also acts as an agent for luxury properties in Munich, in addition to this type of property.

Selling a bungalow: to a select few rather than on the open market

The pool of potential buyers for such a house is small but affluent. The single-storey design and the plot of land are the deciding factors. Owners wishing to sell their bungalow in Munich usually reach these prospective buyers more effectively through targeted marketing than through broad public advertising. The ‘Selling Property with RIEDEL Immobilien’ guide explains how this works in detail.

It always starts with the value of the property: the plot, the building itself and the location all contribute to determining this value. A sound valuation forms the basis for every subsequent decision.

This is how the search works

In practice, the search involves just a few steps. First, we clarify the search criteria: the desired location, the required living space, the plot size, and whether a property ready to move into is an option or one in need of modernisation. We then assess the location and property type and check which of the few available properties are actually suitable, including those that are not publicly advertised. This is followed by a viewing and the provision of a sound basis for decision-making. We provide end-to-end support right up to the appointment with the solicitor.
