Why is it worth living in Katowice in 2020?

Today we take up a rather unusual topic, as we will try to present the advantages of Katowice and why it is worth settling in this city for the long term in 2020, the year that is just beginning. If this is the moment when you are considering renting a flat in Katowice or buying a property, we will try to encourage you to take that step. What will attract potential residents to Katowice in 2020?

Concerts

Traditionally, one of the best reasons to live in Katowice is its cultural life and the Spodek arena, a landmark on Poland's concert map. This year, too, Katowice has plenty to offer fans of all kinds of music. Lovers of club music will certainly be glad to visit Katowice for a concert by Scooter, fans of 1980s sounds will be captivated by Foreigner, and the Metal Hammer Festival will be a treat for those who prefer heavy sounds. This is, of course, not all, and more musical events will appear as time goes by.

IEM Katowice 2020

For one weekend a year, Katowice becomes the capital of e-sports, which has been soaring in popularity in recent years. This year will be no different thanks to IEM Katowice 2020. Once again, the competition will take place in the Spodek. The number of e-sports fans is growing, as is the number of those who support recognising it as a sport and even adding it to the list of Olympic events. There will certainly be no shortage of such people in Katowice this year.

European Economic Congress

From a business perspective, Katowice is becoming exceptionally attractive thanks to the European Economic Congress (Europejski Kongres Gospodarczy), which has also become a permanent fixture among the city's events, taking place every year. It is the largest event of its kind in this part of Europe, where entrepreneurs and company managers discuss and exchange experiences with the most important European politicians. It is a series of meetings and thematic panels addressing the most important economic issues of the year. It may therefore be significant if you are interested in property or plots of land in Katowice for business reasons.

The property market

As we have already mentioned on our blog, the situation on the property market is becoming ever more favourable for potential buyers. When it comes to flats for sale in Katowice, the upward trend in prices continues, but it is slowly stabilising. If prices have so far been holding you back from moving to this area, 2020 is the ideal moment to think the matter over again and perhaps invest in your own property in Silesia.

Contrary to the prevailing opinion, which does the city an injustice, Katowice is becoming an increasingly resident-friendly place, in economic and functional terms as well as purely aesthetic ones. Silesia has been developing significantly of late and is becoming a modern region that is a good place to live, settle and run a business. Our estate agency in Katowice can help you find your place in Silesia.
