Gliwice Sośnica – a property overview. A district worth considering when choosing a new flat.

Sośnica is one of the best-connected districts of Gliwice. Its proximity to the A1 and A4 motorways and the Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa means we have quick and easy access to every part of the Upper Silesian Agglomeration. The district itself offers, on the one hand, proximity to the centre of Gliwice and, on the other, quick and easy access to green and recreational areas. Let us look at the situation on the residential property market in this part of Gliwice.

Layout and buildings of the district

Sośnica is a typical Silesian working-class district, whose modern history goes back to the interwar period and the intensive urbanisation of the whole region. It became part of Gliwice on 1 January 1927. The old part of the district, located in its centre with typical Silesian buildings, was also built in this period. In the post-war period further estates were built around the old part, including Józefa Bema and Stefana Żeromskiego. The shape of the district was determined over the years by the hard coal mines and other heavy industry plants operating nearby. The KWK "Sośnica" mine, until recently slated for closure, is now posting very good results, which means it will provide stable employment over the coming years and will have a strong impact on the whole district.
Today the district has three public nursery schools, three primary schools and four secondary schools. Residents have very good access to the centre of Gliwice and the neighbouring towns. There are also many retail and service outlets here, providing basic services for the district's residents.

Both a single person and a large family will find a property that meets their floor area requirements. Most of the available units are in large-panel blocks, which make up the bulk of the district's buildings. Turning to the most important aspect, namely property prices, these range from 3,300 to 4,500 PLN per square metre.
