Houses for sale in Bielsko-Biała at the foot of the Silesian Beskids

Although Bielsko-Biała lies at the foot of the Silesian Beskids, it is also one of the central residential hubs of the Silesian Voivodeship. For people who dream of a view of the mountains combined with an active big-city life, this city is an ideal choice for buying their own home.

Two districts of Bielsko-Biała border directly on the Silesian Beskids range: Wapienica and Kamienica. Houses for sale in these areas account for 16% of all house sale listings in the city. Surprisingly, despite the proximity of beautiful views and hiking trails, the differences between property prices in this area and the average across the whole city are not very large. The overall average price of houses per 1 m2 is 3,536 PLN in Wapienica and Kamienica, and 3,153 PLN across the whole city. As for floor area, the average usable area of houses in the foothill districts is 178 m2, against 198 m2 across the whole city.

The picture is somewhat different when we compare the foothill districts with specific parts of Bielsko-Biała. In Lipnik, which has the most houses for sale of all parts of the city, the average price per 1 m2 is almost a thousand PLN lower than in Kamienica, and in Hałcnów, second in terms of the number of listings, 700 PLN lower. It turns out, then, that it is precisely houses with a view of the mountains, at the foot of the Silesian Beskids, that raise the average property price in Bielsko-Biała.

The property market in Bielsko-Biała

The most prestigious districts of Bielsko-Biała are in fact the areas at the foot of the Beskids. The amount you have to pay in Kamienica for 1 m2 is 3,718 PLN. In Wapienica it is 3,336 PLN – almost 400 PLN less – even though that is where you can find properties with a larger floor area.

The cheapest house is in Wapienica – it costs 220 thousand PLN. The property, built in 1969, consists of three rooms, a bathroom with a toilet, a kitchen and a separate toilet – the total usable area of all rooms is 88 m2. The house comes with a garden of 400 m2.

The cheapest house in Kamienica costs 297 thousand PLN. The buyer does not, however, get the whole property, as it is a two-family house. The person who decides to buy will thus receive four fully renovated rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hallway with a total area of 133 m2, making up the whole upper floor and part of the ground floor, as well as a fenced garden of 600 m2.

Interestingly, the most expensive house, which is also the property with the largest usable area (558 m2), is in Wapienica. For this four-storey property with 9 rooms we will pay 950 thousand PLN.

Comparison of the average price per sq m of a house in selected towns

One might wonder how house prices in Bielsko-Biała compare with those in other foothill towns. They are surprisingly low, especially compared with Zakopane, where you have to pay over 6 thousand PLN per 1 m2. Oddly enough, even in Jaworze, a village right next to Bielsko-Biała, prices are higher. This is influenced by a new estate of single-family houses being built there, with areas from 150 to 224 m2 and prices from 527 thousand PLN to 949 thousand PLN (an example house listing in Jaworze). It is worth noting, however, that the properties are only 2 km from the border with the central part of the Bielsko agglomeration, which makes them a very attractive location. In terms of prices in the Podbeskidzie region, Bielsko-Biała is essentially outdone only by Ustroń, where 1 m2 costs 3,052 PLN, but this does not change the fact that the capital of the former Bielsko Voivodeship is one of the foothill towns with the lowest house prices.
