We have actually only looked in Cologne and have now very short-term – due to lack of options – also looked in Frechen-Königsdorf, and the very first plot there is a dream.
Since, as mentioned, we have not been very active here yet, I had hoped to receive practical tips about infrastructure etc. from users who know the area. For example, I have seen that there is no secondary school in the town and one has to go to Frechen-Stadt. Is the bus connection acceptable, etc.
Or also, how restricting can the noise from the A 4 be with wind coming from a different direction than yesterday and the day before? The plot is located in the southwestern part of Königsdorf. So far it has always been very quiet, but residents say it depends on the wind (which is understandable). On the other side there is a high embankment south of the residential area, which presumably shields a lot.....
I had also hoped to identify any potential deal-breakers of this district that might not be immediately obvious. Since some other interested parties are already in architectural planning, I might not have much time....
I have already exchanged messages with [Neu_Koelner] via PM. But of course I would also be happy if someone simply shared their impressions of this location in the open forum.
If it weren’t for the highway connection planned for 2019, this would not be an option. It’s a nightmare to struggle past the Rheincenter in the morning up to the ramp for the A 1. But I have to get to Rondorf. That’s almost perfect. I think Alfter, Bornheim and Brühl are not real alternatives. If someone has a comparison to Königsdorf, I would also like to consider it. I am not familiar with those three towns at all yet.
