Text from 2019. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
Ruda Śląska is a city about 14 kilometres from Katowice. The A4 motorway running between the two cities makes for a good connection and quick travel – the journey by car takes 15 to 20 minutes. Flat rental prices in the city vary widely – so Ruda Śląska is a place where both those who want to save on rent and those who are looking for a higher standard will find a home.
Ruda Śląska – a revitalised city
Thanks to its proximity to the largest cities of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, flats in Ruda Śląska are in increasingly high demand. The city, once an industrial town (from the very beginning its lands were associated with the mining of metal ores), is now undergoing systematic revitalisation. The renovation of buildings, the revitalisation of green areas and the construction of new sports and entertainment facilities are just a few of the measures that have taken place in recent years and are planned in the programme for 2015-2030.
Ruda Śląska – a city to live in
The city has not only a good deal of new housing, but also post-industrial tenement houses, the so-called Silesian “familoki”. Production plants in industrial automation, food processing, printing and metalworking give jobs to many of Ruda Śląska’s residents. A well-developed transport network makes the city even more attractive and comfortable for its residents. Importantly, the city has numerous green areas, parks, forests and squares where you can relax in nature without having to leave the city limits.

Average flat rental prices – Ruda Śląska and the surrounding area
Average flat rental prices in Ruda Śląska hover around 25 PLN per square metre. For a flat of 50 m2 you should therefore pay 1,250 PLN on average. The price varies depending on the type of building – renting a flat in a tenement house costs from 10 to 26 PLN per m2. When renting a flat in a new development, you must expect prices from 18 to as much as 40 PLN per m2.
Of course, the cost of renting also depends on the condition and standard of the flat. If the property has undergone a thorough renovation, including new wiring and plumbing, and has additional space such as a cellar, you must expect a cost of over 20 PLN/m2. Moreover, if you want a fully furnished flat, you should add a few more PLN to the rental price.
According to the flat rental listings on the dom.gratka.pl portal, the most expensive properties are found in the Godula district. These are flats in new developments, often after renovation and fully furnished, intended for people who do not plan to furnish a property themselves. These are the so-called “move-in ready” flats.
Analysing flat rental prices across the Silesian Voivodeship, Ruda Śląska sits roughly in the middle. The cost per square metre in this city is lower than the voivodeship average by about 5 PLN, and lower than the highest in the voivodeship, that is Katowice, by 10 PLN. The data show that flat rental prices depend above all on the level of urbanisation of the city. Thus, the highest prices can be found in Katowice, Gliwice and Sosnowiec, and the lowest in Bytom and Siemianowice Śląskie.

A limited number of flats!
If you want to rent a flat, decide quickly! Ruda Śląska, although it covers almost 78 km2 and has about 142 thousand residents, does not offer many flats for rent at all. At the moment the dom.gratka.pl portal has recorded only 30 properties available to rent. And given the city’s growing popularity, that number will probably fall.
