Otherwise, parts of Niederrad are affordable, while the Westend is quite upmarket and renting or buying here can be very expensive. These areas are also stylish and architecturally beautiful with wonderful old historic buildings lining the streets. Kronberg is a great place to live for families, as properties are spacious and near parks, but they can be quite pricey.
