Flats in Bemowo — prices, the district, listings

The core of the district is estates from the 1970s and 1980s: Jelonki, Górce, Boernerowo and Chrzanów. The blocks are low by Polish standards, there is a lot of space between the buildings and the trees are forty years old — which is why Bemowo is often greener than new estates in the centre.

Boernerowo is a separate story: a pre-war estate of detached houses built for military families, a grid of straight streets and low buildings, today one of the quieter addresses in the city.

New developments go up mainly along Górczewska and Powstańców Śląskich, close to the metro stations. That is where prices rise fastest and where most move-in-ready flats are.

The second metro line reaches Bemowo — the Ulrychów, Bemowo and Ratusz Bemowo stations. That changed the district more than anything else: Świętokrzyska is a bit over ten minutes away, with no traffic and no changes.

The difference between an address within walking distance of a station and one two bus stops away is large here and shows in the price. In listings both are simply 'Bemowo', so check the map rather than the headline.

By car the key roads are Górczewska and Połczyńska, and part of the ring road runs through the district — convenient if you drive outside the centre, less so if you drive into it every day.

Families who want both a metro and greenery without paying Wola prices. Flats in the older blocks are larger than new-build ones at the same price, and Lasek na Kole, Park Górczewska and the nearby Kampinos Forest give you somewhere real to walk.

People working in the offices at Rondo Daszyński — that is the same metro line, a few stations away.

Less so for anyone after city life in the evening: restaurants and culture are modest here, and most residents go to the centre for them.
