A new elite neighborhood has become a target of crime, with homeless people sleeping on the terraces of tenants: 'There was also a knife attack'

The new residential area Neues Landgut in Vienna's Favoriten district has become a focal point for various issues reported by residents. Initially envisioned as a modern and high-quality living space with thousands of apartments, an educational campus, and a large library, the neighborhood now faces challenges such as littering, drug consumption, crime, and homeless individuals sleeping on private terraces. Residents have documented over 200 incidents since March 2025, including noise complaints, vandalism, bicycle thefts, and a knife attack in May 2025. Concerns are heightened by reports of homeless people using private spaces like gardens and terraces. Local businesses, such as Waterdrop, have also reported stolen bicycles. Residents are calling for more concrete measures from local authorities and police to address these growing concerns.
