Order and compare city-villa catalogs 2026 free of charge
A city villa (Stadtvilla) is a two-storey house with a representative, often square base shape and a hip or pyramid roof. The catalog shows floor plans, facades and usually a starting price. Because show-home photos often depict an upmarket line, budget for 2026 around 2,300 to 3,800 euros per square metre turnkey.
What defines a city villa in the catalog?
A city villa is essentially a two-storey detached house with a representative character. Typical are a compact, often almost square base shape, two full storeys and a shallow-pitched hip or pyramid roof. The catalog depicts these features via floor plans and facade elevations and usually states a starting price for the base line.
The representative ambition shows in large window surfaces, symmetrical facades and often upmarket fittings. This is exactly where a typical trap lies: the printed show-home photos often depict a higher fittings line, while the starting price next to them corresponds to the base line. So always ask which line was photographed.
Because a city villa distributes the living space over two levels, the footprint is more compact than a bungalow of the same living space — which can be an advantage on narrow plots. The catalog should describe the plot requirement, boundary distances and storey heights so that you can roughly assess feasibility on your plot.
| Feature | What the catalog shows | What to look out for |
|---|---|---|
| Storeys | Two full storeys, compact base shape | Check storey heights and staircase position in the floor plan |
| Roof shape | Shallow-pitched hip or pyramid roof | Roof pitch affects the look and usable area |
| Fittings | Show-home photos often in an upmarket line | The starting price usually refers to the base line |
| Plot | Compact footprint thanks to two levels | Check boundary distances and layout against the floor plan |
Which manufacturers offer city-villa catalogs?
The city villa is a popular house type and is represented in many ranges. The following list names, alphabetically, providers from our provider overview that offer city villas. The enumeration is neutral and does not represent a ranking or rating.
Request several catalogs in parallel. Because city villas are often advertised with upmarket fittings, the fittings comparison on the same basis is especially important — otherwise you compare a plain base line with a fully equipped premium variant.

The list is sorted alphabetically and does not rate individual firms. Whether a provider suits you depends on the floor plan, construction method, region and budget, not on the position in the list.
What should I look for in a city-villa catalog?
With a city villa it is worth taking a close look at the items that make up the representative character — and drive costs. Large window surfaces, floor-to-ceiling glazing, a shallow-pitched hip roof and upmarket facade details are rarely fully included in the starting price. So check which fittings line underlies the photos.
Also look at the quality of the floor plan across two levels: staircase position, lighting of the stairwell and the distribution of bathrooms so that the water-carrying pipes can be bundled. The following checklist helps you assess each city-villa catalog systematically and comparably.
Reviewing a city-villa catalog — checklist
- Fittings line: which line do the show-home photos depict?
- Roof: hip or pyramid roof, and how does the pitch affect the area?
- Windows: is floor-to-ceiling glazing in the starting price or a surcharge?
- Floor plan: staircase position, lighting and short routes across two levels?
- Plot: do boundary distances and layout suit the footprint?
- Building services: are bathrooms bundled and the services planned efficiently?
What does a city villa cost according to the 2026 catalog?
City-villa catalogs quote — if anything — a starting price for the base line. As a rough market guide, turnkey city villas in 2026 range from around 2,300 to 3,800 euros per square metre. Shell houses start below this; the often-desired upmarket fittings push the price up.
Distributing the living space over two levels has a cost-dampening effect, because the foundation slab and roof area are proportionally smaller than with a bungalow. At the same time, large window surfaces and representative details drive up costs. So bring all catalogs to the same fittings level and add missing items such as the foundation slab, cellar and outdoor facilities before comparing.
| Finishing stage | Rough range per m² | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shell house (Ausbauhaus) | from around 1,500 euros per m² | Interior finishing as self-build, allow time |
| Turnkey basic | around 2,300 to 3,000 euros per m² | Base line, upmarket details often as a surcharge |
| Turnkey upmarket | around 3,000 to 3,800 euros per m² | Large glazing and representative fittings |
