Lichtenberg offers a diverse mix of residential areas. The buildings are mainly old buildings for the 1920s or prefabricated concrete high-rises form the Soviet era of East Berlin, but there are also Wilhelminian style old buildings and luxurious new buildings as well as some villas.
In Lichtenberg, Fennpfuhl, and Friedrichsfelde, concrete apartment buildings dominate, with the occasional old building hidden in between. Many of the apartment buildings have been modernized and a lot of greenery has been planted in between, especially in the Friedrichsfelde neighborhood.
Karlshorst is a district of villas and detached houses. In Rummelsburg, you have the choice between Wilhelminian style old buildings and modern luxury apartments with a view of the Spree.
