Rediscovering Roots in Vienna (32x11)

Air date: Feb 16, 2012

In 1939, Eva Wein's grandfather, then ten years old, narrowly escaped Nazi-occupied Vienna. Now, seven decades later, Eva and her husband Chris are headed back to the place she always felt was calling her home. With an opportunity to get her Master's Degree at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, the move is a step toward Eva's future, as well as her past - but crossing the pond also means leaving behind family and friends, and sacrificing Chris's job at a big four accounting firm. Without an income, this young couple faces a daunting task as they attempt to navigate Vienna's competitive market. Lauded as one of the world's most livable cities, housing prices in Vienna are at new highs and Eva's desire to live in the highly-coveted city center means more money still. Will real estate agent Mario Moisi be able to balance Eva's dream of an historic home with Chris's preference for modern lines? Or will these former suburbanites be unable to adjust their expectations? Find out when House Hunters International rediscovers its roots? in Vienna, Austria.
