Warsaw Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland)



Much of Poland's capital was rebuilt after WWII and it is a thoroughly beautiful place to live and do business. European investors have taken special interest in this city over the past decade, and there are many new building projects to offset the nostalgia of the historic quarter.

There has never been a better time to buy property in Warsaw, especially for investment purposes. With that in mind, even residential properties are showing promise, simply because Warsaw is become an increasingly relevant European city, complete with a stunning history and lively cultural scene.


The Vistula River cuts through the centre of Warsaw, with most of the sightseeing and historic properties for sale to the west. However, there are some excellent value-for-money options across to the east bank of the river.

Renting Serviced Apartments

With all of the new building projects ongoing in Warsaw, there are many new serviced and executive apartments on the market. These are of special interest to business travellers, as well as to long-stay tourists who intend to get to know this city while visiting.

Many of the most enviable serviced apartments are right in Warsaw's historic core. Agreements vary between units, but most enforce a minimum stay, be it a week, a month or longer. This typically affords savings of 15 to 30 percent over comparably sized hotel rooms.

Buying Apartments and Houses

Affordable apartments and attractive townhouses are available in the city centre, with newer developments in Wola and other east-of-the-river districts. Praga is a neighbourhood to watch, since it has begun to transcend its former run-down reputation and emerge as a bohemian neighbourhood that's popular with artists and musicians.

Property laws in Warsaw are relatively easy to navigate. The climate is relaxed for EU citizens, while nationals of other countries may have to secure permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The laws relax for single family residences, so it is worth talking to a local expert early in the process.

Real Estate Agents

There are many reputable real estate agents available in Warsaw, more so since the property boom of the early 2000s. English-speaking agents are not hard to find. With so many offering services, it is in buyers' best interest to shop around in order to find the company with the most appropriate niche services.
