With excellent infrastructure – including several daycares, a primary school, secondary school, doctors, shops, restaurants, and cafés – Merten is especially popular with families.

Errands and school runs can be done on foot. A new daycare is also being built directly on the development site. Nearby fields and woodlands invite you outdoors for jogging, walks, or bike rides. There’s plenty to explore in Merten: scenic trails, landmarks like Bornheim Castle or Herseler Werth, and an active local culture with clubs and traditions all contribute to a high quality of life.

Commuters benefit from excellent public transport and motorway links to Bonn and Cologne. Bornheim is also a “gigabit city” with robust fibre-optic expansion, making remote work fast and reliable.
