How much does it cost to rent a bungalow in Munich?

There is no fixed figure, as the location, plot size, condition of the property and fittings vary greatly from one case to another, and the market is very small. As a rough guide, the rent is noticeably higher than that of a comparable flat, as the cost of the plots is included. We therefore always assess the cost of renting a bungalow in Munich on a property-by-property basis.

Why are bungalows to let so rare in Munich?

Single-storey houses take up a lot of plots per square metre of living space, which is expensive in a densely built-up city. Consequently, very few have been built. Furthermore, the existing houses are often occupied by the owners themselves and are rarely let out. If one does come onto the market, it is frequently let discreetly through existing contacts before a public advert becomes necessary.

What types of bungalows are available to rent in Munich?

There are three main types you’re most likely to come across: the atrium bungalow with an internal courtyard, the L-shaped corner bungalow, and the flat-roofed bungalow from the 1960s and 1970s. Which type is right for you depends less on the name than on the layout, the plot of land and the level of privacy you desire.

I own a bungalow in Munich — how do I let it out through RIEDEL?

We begin by assessing the property’s lettability and establishing a realistic guide rent, prepare the presentation and target suitable prospective tenants – without a public property listing, if you prefer. We coordinate the selection process and subsequent steps closely with you. The overall framework is set out in the letting service for owners.

Rent a bungalow in Munich — single-storey living in sought-after locations

Last updated: 24. August 2026 | Reading time: 8 minutes

Single-storey houses with their own plot of land are a niche segment of the Munich rental market. RIEDEL knows them from both sides: as an agent for tenants and as a point of contact for owners looking to let their properties. It is rarely possible to rent a bungalow in Munich. Houses that combine all living spaces on a single level and feature a private garden adjoining the living room have scarcely been built here for decades and, if at all, are rarely let. For tenants, therefore, access to the market is paramount; for owners, it is precisely this scarcity that becomes an advantage. RIEDEL is a family-run business based in Munich since 1982 and works here primarily on behalf of owners.

Renting a bungalow in Munich: a niche market with limited availability

Prospective tenants looking to rent a bungalow in Munich are competing for a very limited supply. Single-storey houses with a plot of land are rare in this densely built-up, growing city, and it is even rarer to find them available to rent: Many are occupied by the owners themselves or remain in the same hands for years. When a bungalow becomes available to rent in Munich, it is often let through existing contacts before an advert even appears.

Such properties are scattered across the city and the surrounding area, rather than being concentrated in a single neighbourhood. Established areas such as Bogenhausen, Grünwald, Nymphenburg, Obermenzing and Solln are frequently mentioned. These are examples, not a guarantee that something is currently available there. The best way to rent a bungalow in Munich or the surrounding area is by registering a search profile and having a contact who knows the property portfolio, rather than focusing on a single address. This market knowledge extends beyond the city limits: RIEDEL is firmly established in Munich and the Fünfseenland region and often spots changes in the property stock earlier than the public market.

If you’d prefer to buy rather than rent, you’ll find property types and locations under ‘Buying bungalows in Munich’. The rental market is significantly smaller than the property purchase market.

Why a bungalow? Living on one level

The appeal of these houses lies in their floor plan. All the rooms are on one level; there are no stairs between the bedrooms and the living area; and the private garden usually opens directly onto the living space. This makes a single-storey house to rent in Munich attractive for a wide range of life stages, from barrier-free living to a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. Here, the plot of land and privacy count for more than the efficient use of living space.

The term ‘bungalow’ encompasses several different architectural styles:

Atrium bungalow

Here, the rooms are arranged around an internal courtyard. This sheltered outdoor area is hidden from view from the outside and allows light to reach right into the centre of the house. If peace and quiet and a sense of seclusion are the main priorities, prospective tenants will therefore specifically look to rent an atrium bungalow.

Corner bungalow

This layout is L-shaped, dividing the house into a living area and a private retreat. The angle also encloses a part of the garden that is sheltered from the wind.

Flat-roofed bungalow

With their clean, horizontal lines, these houses epitomise the classic look of the 1960s and 1970s. A flat-roofed house to rent in Munich almost always dates from this architectural period.

Who would benefit from single-storey living?

Single-storey living appeals to people in a wide variety of circumstances. For professionals and executives who are moving here for a limited period, a single-storey house with its own garden offers an alternative to a flat – particularly for international residents, where the length of stay is still uncertain. Couples in mid-life appreciate not having to climb stairs, without having to sacrifice a plot of land or a private retreat. And for accessible living, this type of construction already meets the requirements without the need for any alterations.

A single property rarely suits all these groups at the same time. Location, layout and fittings are the deciding factors in each individual case. That is precisely why it is worth specifying your own requirements early on, rather than waiting for a listing that happens to fit the bill.

Current bungalow rental listings and search criteria

The following selection shows the properties currently available to let. As this is a niche market, the list may occasionally be empty. This is not an error, but simply reflects the reality that this type of property rarely becomes available.

Current listings: Bungalow to let

A search profile is more reliable than waiting for a property advert. Anyone who has provided us with their requirements will often be notified of a suitable property whilst the letting process is still underway. You can contact us at any time to set up a search profile or make a specific enquiry about a property. We’ll get in touch as soon as something suitable comes up.

Bungalow hire with RIEDEL

For owners, the limited supply actually presents an opportunity. A bungalow available to let in Munich or the surrounding area rarely remains on the market for long given this limited stock. We therefore do not let your bungalow via a widely distributed advert, but by specifically targeting the few genuinely suitable prospective tenants – carefully prepared and, if desired, without public visibility.

RIEDEL supports this approach as a letting service for owners: with a realistic rental valuation based on our own transaction data rather than portal averages, a carefully curated selection of prospective tenants, and a marketing strategy that, if desired, avoids public property listings. As part of the international property network of Christie’s International Real Estate, we are also able to reach discerning prospective tenants with a connection to the region who would be difficult to find elsewhere. The fact that RIEDEL was named Estate Agent of the Year (Bellevue) in 2025 and is a member of the IVD is a testament to the reliability that owners can expect when taking such a personal step.

To get started, all it takes is a chat: to clarify requirements, assess the property’s lettability and agree on the next steps.

Frequently asked questions about bungalows and renting them

There isn’t just one particular neighbourhood for this. Bungalows to rent in Munich are scattered throughout the city and its surrounding areas, most commonly in established, low-density neighbourhoods such as Bogenhausen, Grünwald or Solln. Whether there is anything available at any given time depends less on the address than on the timing, which is why it’s worth setting up a search profile.

If you’re looking to rent a bungalow in Munich, the quickest way to find what you’re after is to set up a search profile with clear criteria regarding location, size and timeframe. This means you’ll be added to our shortlist and notified of suitable properties as soon as they become available – often even before they’re advertised publicly. A quick enquiry is all it takes to set up your profile.

A well-prepared property usually attracts suitable prospective tenants without a lengthy search, as this type of property is in short supply and ground-floor living with a private garden appeals to people at many different stages of life, from temporary specialists and executives to those seeking barrier-free accommodation. A suitable rental price and careful selection are crucial. We provide support with both, without guaranteeing the rent level or the length of the tenancy.
