Ich bin neu in Österreich und suche eine Wohnung. Ich sehe viele mit solchen Schrägdächern und neige zu der Annahme, dass es im Sommer sehr heiß sein muss.
Ist es wirklich ein Problem? Sollte ich es vermeiden?

It is very hot in sommer.
It would be really hot in summer
It’s a problem, yes. Personally, I would only consider it with an AC
Avoid if it has no air conditioning, otherwise it will be like a sauna from potentially May to September
Just keep in mind that its gonna be hella hot in the Summer
Yes, such apartments tend to get hotter during the summer months.
Depending on location, you can expect inside temperatures over 30 degrees during heat waves (and they are quite common, particularly in the eastern and southeastern parts of Austria).
Unless there is air conditioning, which is still quite rare in Austria, I would avoid it.
You can easily avoid getting grilled in the summer when you use a self-adhesive UV film. Don’t use the cheapest one and most important it must be applied from the outside.
If it’s really necessary to cool down the Appartement an AC unit which blows outside of the window will do the rest. Use a plastic sealing for the window to minimize the airflow.
You can buy all three products in most DIY stores like OBI, Hagebaumarkt, etc.
if you dont mind two hobbits crushing your flat to cast a ring in it you will be fine.
I live in an apartment like this and tbh during regular summers i don’t mind it at all – it does get stuffy but i usually got all windows open during night and heavy blinds closed during day so it’s not that bad
Once temperature goes over 38°C and there’s no wind however….🫠
yes
Hot, really hot in the summer.
Avoid
apart from the heat thing be aware that everything with slopes is counted fully for the living space size to a height of 150cm+. That means they are often bigger on paper than in real life.
Apartments in Vienna rarely have AC. Heating is also more expensive. Running costs are generally very high and some places charge you more Betriebskosten than lower floors
If it has no air-conditioning yet, you’ve considered cannibalism and like baked/fried flesh and have lots of friends who visit, then yes – take it.
Nah, you’ll be fine. I lived in two of those, and there wasn’t much difference compared to normal windows.
I lived in top floor 5 years. They always look pretty cool but you will die in summer. I could not chill at home anymore. And you have to heat a lot in winter. Would never go back. But most of the time they are cheaper, so if you wanna save money you will survive the summer days at the park
In general flats on the top floor (even with a flat roof) will be very hot in summer without ac and may need more heating as the roof is often not well insulated. Also keep in mind that the space under the lower end of the roof is very hard to make use of, as wardrobes and bookshelfs won’t fit and you can also not really sit there, because when you stand up you will likely bump your head
Yes those apartments are extremely hot in summer- only take them if they have air conditioning.
100.0% a top floor apartment is a trap. Not always, but more often then not. Especially if you are new.
100.0% always: Building built before 1945(!), party signing the contract is the owner(!) of the apartment according to land registry (Grundbuch).
Hot in the summer but no noise from upstairs neighbors!
i had an old apartment but with new insulation and windows.
Without AC it would have been unlivable for 1 month every year.
Now i live on the ground floor with windows to the West on purpose.
