Buy an apartment in Otterbach

Otterbach is a municipality of roughly 3,000 residents in the Lautertal valley, seven kilometres north of downtown Kaiserslautern. The direct B270 and Lautertalbahn rail link make it one of the most popular residential locations for Kaiserslautern commuters — and, thanks to its proximity to the Vogelweh, Daenner Kaserne and Pulaski Barracks installations, an attractive address for KMC personnel as well. The property market is compact but broad: hillside single-family homes, renovated period buildings in the village core, and occasional apartment buildings.
