Mysłowice is another Silesian city worth considering if you plan to buy a house or a plot of land. The city, part of the Katowice Metropolitan Area, stands out for its good connections with larger towns. From there it is easy to reach Katowice, Sosnowiec, Jaworzno, Kraków, Wrocław, Cieszyn and Oświęcim, places that a large number of Silesian residents travel to every day.
Considering that the Silesian property market makes it easy to find some of the cheapest flat and house listings, it is worth analysing the property market in Mysłowice in detail. In this article I look at specific districts of the area, covering questions such as where it is best to buy a house in Mysłowice, and in which area it is worth buying a plot of land and starting to build on your own.
A brief profile of Mysłowice
Mysłowice is a city divided administratively into sixteen districts. The northern part of the city is the most urbanised and industrialised, and it is also the most densely populated. The northern part is where you will find the most houses for sale.
The central and southern parts of Mysłowice, in turn, contain a good deal of green space. Forests cover about 25% of the city's area, while farmland covers about 35%. It is therefore not hard to find a suitable and attractive plot on the outskirts of Mysłowice on which to build a house.
Average house price in Mysłowice
Prices here vary quite widely. Some houses can be bought from as little as 1,800 PLN/m2, while the most expensive cost about 4,500 PLN/m2. The average house price in Mysłowice seems fairly low: for example, in the second quarter of 2015 it was about 2,500 PLN/m2, although that was on the secondary market. A new house costs on average more than 4,000 PLN/m2.

Where is it worth buying a house in Mysłowice?
In the northern part of the city we will find plenty of property listings. In Piasek, for example, where multi-family housing predominates, houses with 3 upper floors start at 500 thousand PLN. In Bończyk, by contrast, we will find smaller, new single-family properties which admittedly cost 50% more, but most of them are sold with a plot of land.
In Śródmieście, which has the most blocks of flats, we can also find a few single-family houses for sale. This area is worth considering if location matters most to us, as Śródmieście has the most city institutions, such as offices, schools and hospitals. We should remember, however, that property prices in this area are the highest. A four-room house can cost as much as 500 thousand PLN. Prices per square metre in this area range from 3,000 to 3,500 PLN.
Another district of Mysłowice worth looking at for a property is Janów Miejski. There are many listings of single-family houses there. Prices in this area vary quite widely, so it is easier to find a listing that suits your budget. The average price of a 6-room house in Janów Miejski is about 450 thousand PLN. It should be added that all properties in that area are sold with a plot of land, which, if bought separately, costs up to 300 PLN/m2.
A smaller area than Janów Miejski is the district of Ćmok, where properties for sale can also be found. Four-room houses with one upper floor cost about 400 thousand PLN, and plots up to 200 PLN/m2. If, on the other hand, a new building is not important to us, in Słupna we will find very old, even historic properties dating from the Second World War. An eight-room house in the Słupna district costs on average up to 500 thousand PLN.
Where is it worth buying a plot of land in Mysłowice?
If we plan frequent trips to Kraków, Katowice or Oświęcim, it is worth looking at the Brzęczkowice district, in the northern part of the city. The A4 motorway, the S1 expressway, voivodeship road 934 and the Katowice–Oświęcim railway line all run through the area at the centre of Mysłowice. Brzęczkowice is extremely well connected, which is an undoubted advantage for people commuting to larger cities.
The cheapest houses with two upper floors and a plot of about 2.5 thousand square metres cost about 500 thousand PLN in Brzęczkowice. It is more worthwhile, however, to buy a plot there and build a house. Building land costs from as little as 100 PLN/m2.
Another place to consider if we want to build a new house is the Morgi district, in the central part of Mysłowice. Morgi looks rather distinctive, as there are many wooded areas, the so-called Morgi forest, which blends nicely with modern single-family houses. A major asset of the district is its good location and easy access to the centre. Plot prices vary quite widely, ranging from 70 to as much as 200 PLN/m2.
Other districts in the central part of Mysłowice with a large number of plot listings are Wesoła, Larysz and Brzezinka. Prices are considerably higher, however, as the lowest price starts at 120 PLN/m2.
Plots for sale can also be found in the southern part of Mysłowice. One such district is Krasowy, where building plots cost from 130 PLN/m2 upwards; another is Kosztowy. Prices there are much higher, however, at about 200 PLN/m2.
