The Hellersdorf neighborhood, which gave the district its name, is determined by a large housing estate of prefabricated concrete high-rises. Almost all buildings have been thoroughly modernised and the area around them has been landscaped. In Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf, single-family homes with well-kept gardens dominate. In recent years there has been a big building boom in the district and many young families moved here. Hellersdorf is considered a family-friendly and quiet area with a suburban atmosphere.
