Main-Taunus-Kreis is an administrative district in the Hesse region of Germany. This landlocked area sits in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region, sharing direct borders with the cities of Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, as well as the Hochtaunuskreis, Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, and Groß-Gerau districts. Physically, the territory is shaped by its position between the Taunus mountain range to the north and the Main river valley to the south.
Property in Main-Taunus-Kreis is generally dearer than the German average. The housing stock is distributed relatively evenly across several key towns rather than concentrating in a single dominant city. Hattersheim am Main holds the largest individual share of the local housing and stands out as the most affordable of the major residential hubs. By contrast, Kelkheim (Taunus) and Schwalbach am Taunus are the most expensive towns in the district, with prices in Kelkheim (Taunus) rising far above those found in other local communities like Eppstein, Hochheim am Main, or the administrative centre of Hofheim am Taunus.
