Budapest XVIII. kerület, Építő utca For sale brick apartment

Birdsong just 40 minutes from the city center.

We have outgrown our home, so—with a heavy heart—I am offering our bright, 43-square-meter, 1.5-room apartment for sale. Located on the 3rd floor near the Lakatos Road housing estate in District 18, it is set in a beautiful environment. The apartment overlooks a lovely, spacious park—shaded by a linden tree—and offers a peaceful atmosphere, with kind, quiet neighbours in a well-maintained building. All windows and doors have been replaced with modern, plastic-framed units equipped with shutters; the window in the smaller room also features an additional insect screen.

The building has 4 floors, and the property is accessible via stairs; however, the apartment includes a 9.2 sqm ground-floor storage unit, which is perfect for storing baby prams, strollers and bicycles. The right of use for this unit will pass to the new owner. Naturally, the property is free of any legal disputes or encumbrances.

The building features 10 cm of graphite-based insulation; during the comprehensive roof and façade renovation in 2023, all the French balcony railings were also replaced. The electrical system in the stairwell is currently being upgraded. Investments that are reflected in the common costs, though they also yield savings on heating bills.

The apartment features district heating, equipped with individual heat meters, thermostats, and water meters. Utility costs (water, gas, electricity, sewage, and heating) are minimal. During the summer heat, an almost silent air conditioning system keeps the entire apartment—from the living room onwards—comfortable. While the unit does have a heating function, we have never actually needed to use it.

The apartment was renovated 6 years ago; at that time, a brand-new, custom-made modern kitchen was installed, sliding doors were added to the kitchen and the small room, and the bathroom fixtures were completely replaced (including the bathtub, toilet, faucets, tiling, and a full paint job). The price includes all built-in cabinets, a built-in dishwasher (9-place setting capacity), a built-in refrigerator, the complete kitchen (including the range hood and gas stove), as well as the right to use a 9.2 sqm enclosed storage unit on the ground floor. The listed price is a guide price.

We live in a location that is perfect in terms of transport and accessibility: you can reach KÖKI in 10 minutes by bus lines 182, 182A or 184 and any part of the city in 40–50 minutes via the M3 metro line; at night, you can get home in an hour using the 950 night bus. By car, it takes about 25–30 minutes to reach the city center, depending on the time of day. Medical and pediatric clinics, as well as a supermarket, are within 60 meters, while schools, kindergartens, and a nursery are within a 100-meter radius. The M5–M0 junction—along with various retail stores (Tesco, Auchan, IKEA, Decathlon, etc.)—is a 6-minute drive away, and the Sárkány Center is just one bus stop or a 10-minute walk away. Bus 36 provides a direct connection to districts 20, 23 and 21; it also stops at the Pestszentlőrinc railway station (two stops away), from where you can reach Zugló in 12 minutes and Nyugati Railway Station in 15 minutes.

The apartment is an ideal choice primarily for single individuals, university students, couples, families with one child, or single-parent households—and potentially for investors—but it is definitely not intended for real estate agents or salespeople.
