Heimbach

The town (with 4,400 residents) is the “gateway to the North Eifel National Park”. Thanks to its peaceful location and status as a climatic spa, the town is also a popular tourist destination. Young families can purchase affordable old buildings here for self-renovating.

Inden

The municipality (7,650 residents) is to be located directly on the Indesee lake. Several residential areas are being created here, which in the future will be ideal for “living by the lake”. One special feature is the resource-conserving building method (“Factor X”), which is standard in the new development areas.

Jülich

The town (with 32,500 residents) has an important role in the development of the district as an international location for research, a mid-sized centre and as a location near to the future Indesee lake. Planned are new apartments mainly in the town centre and in the south-lying districts towards the lake and research area.

Kreuzau

Traditional single and double-family houses are mainly being built in the district’s third-largest municipality (17,500 residents), but also several multi-family houses, and new construction areas are to be created in several neighbourhoods by 2025. As with Heimbach and Nideggen, Kreuzau is connected to the Düren railway station via the Rurtalbahn, with further connections in the direction of Aachen, Cologne and Jülich/Linnich.

Langerwehe

Direct access to the motorway, the railway station situated on the Aachen-Cologne regional express line and a location on the edge of the Eifel region make the municipality (with 14,500 residents) an attractive destination for people looking for places to live. In the coming years, new residential buildings are to be built here on an area of 42 hectares, with many using resource-saving building methods.

Linnich

Located in the north of the district, the town (12,700 residents) is a very interesting place to live for commuters travelling to Düsseldorf or to the research facilities in Aldenhoven and Jülich. The planned connection of the Rurtal railway to the Aachen-Düsseldorf line will increase the appeal of the town. Current residential construction projects are taking place particularly in the south of the town.

Merzenich

Thanks to the Hambach Forest, this municipality (with 10,000 residents), situated near the Hambach open-cast mine, has gained nationwide fame. Numerous sustainable structural change projects are being developed here according to the motto of “wishing for a great future”.

Nideggen

This town (10,000 residents) to the south of the Düren district offers living close to nature and single-family houses in the countryside. The low mountain range landscape of the Eifel, high recreational value and good connections to Cologne make Nideggen an appealing place to live for families and also for older people looking for barrier-free living.

Niederzier

Situated between Düren and Jülich, the villages in this municipality (14,200 residents) offer affordable and well-connected living space. Closeness to the Aachen-Cologne motorway and the location between the Indesee and Hambachsee lakes in the future offer many development opportunities here.

Nörvenich

Rural living flair with a well-developed infrastructure characterise the municipality (with 11,000 residents), which aims to grow strongly to 2025. The short distance to the Cologne/Bonn conurbation on the one hand, and the small-scale settlement structures with single-family houses on the other, are especially attractive for young families. The main town area already has an urban character with retail outlets.

Titz

This rural community (with 8,700 residents) is well connected to the large  cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen. In just a few years 10,000 people will live here, which is also due to the numerous family-friendly attractions. The lighthouse project is the PRIMUS neighbourhood as a new centre, which will include a co-working-space.
