Guide
Kraków is Poland’s second most expensive market after Warsaw: secondary transactions at PLN 14,792/m², primary at PLN 15,923/m² (NBP, Q2 2026), rent ~68–69 PLN/m² — a typical 50 m² is about PLN 3,450/month. Demand is driven by tourism (Stare Miasto, Kazimierz), ~130,000 students and modern-services corporations.
Where to live
Krowodrza — universities and prestige near the centre. Podgórze — a developing secondary market on the right bank of the Vistula. Kazimierz — nightlife and the premium segment. Stare Miasto — top prices and tourism. Nowa Huta — affordable prices, good tram links.
Living costs
Utilities and fees: +25–35% on top of rent. Monthly transit pass ~PLN 100–150. Private nursery PLN 1,500–2,500/month, international schools PLN 2,500–5,000/month with waiting lists for popular years. The academic season (September–October) lifts rents locally by 5–10% — house-hunt in summer.
