The housing estate at Astweg 24–40, 40A–C, 42–48, 29–41, 41A, 43–55, 55A–C, comprising 250 one- to six-room flats (173 of which are social housing, built in 1973), is situated in the Eidelstedt district. This district, part of the Eimsbüttel borough and home to around 33,000 residents, is a neighbourhood with two sides to it. With the A7 and A23 motorways and Eidelstedter Platz as a transport hub, Eidelstedt is one of the districts with particularly heavy traffic. But Eidelstedt is also a green area, largely thanks to the Eidelstedter Feldmark, where amateur gardeners grow carrots and pumpkins on rented plots. Near Eidelstedter Platz lies the Lohkamp estate, comprising around 260 homes built by SAGA in the 1950s. The estate, with its narrow cul-de-sacs, has won several awards as the best owner-occupied housing estate. The Eidelstedt Centre shopping centre is home to around 60 shops, whilst the weekly market invites visitors to shop every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The Eidelstedt Community Centre is also located there, where events are held regularly. The district cultural centre offers courses in areas such as health, creative activities, languages and IT. Thanks to numerous bus routes as well as the S-Bahn lines S1, S3 and S21 (stops: Eidelstedt, Elbgaustraße) and the AKN (Altona-Kaltenkirchen-Neumünster Railway Company) with stops at Eidelstedt, Eidelstedt Zentrum and Hörgensweg, Eidelstedt has excellent links to public transport.
