Katowice Kostuchna – attractions and advantages of the district

Scenic beauty and the calm of suburban areas? This is why houses for sale in Katowice in Kostuchna are so well regarded. Kostuchna is a district of single-family houses with gardens, to which young married couples escape in search of stability from the much noisier and more crowded centre. Besides, Kostuchna is called the most beautiful district of Katowice! And it is proof that Upper Silesia can be green.

Kostuchna is a district in the south of Katowice. It borders the districts of Piotrowice-Ochojec, Zarzecze, Murcki and Podlesie, and the city of Tychy. Its area is 8.59 sq km and it has 8,233 residents. Kostuchna has a suburban, residential and industrial character.

Kostuchna is divided into three parts: western, central and southern. Each is marked by a different type of land use and a dominant function. The southern part, bordering Tychy, has an industrial character. It is home to the "Murcki" Hard Coal Mine, but also a sports and recreation complex with the Murcki forests. In the western part single-family housing dominates, but building intensity is low and many areas are still undeveloped. The central part (as you might guess) is like a "little centre of Kostuchna" – the residential development is of mixed character (single- and multi-family with services).

The district's connections with other parts of the city are described as moderately good. The main road network is based on the following streets: Szarych Szeregów, Tadeusza Boya-Żeleńskiego, Armii Krajowej, Stabika and Słonecznikowa.

Residents of Kostuchna greatly value the forests surrounding their homes. To the south, on a hillside, there is a ski slope with a lift, and to the east – many forest walking paths and a cycle route. Near ul. Smugowa is the Źródło Marii spring, whose water is valued not only for its taste but also for its health benefits.

Kostuchna attracts above all people who favour a healthier lifestyle. And their numbers are definitely growing. On the one hand, the district allows you to live in decidedly friendlier, natural conditions, and on the other, thanks to good transport links, it does not limit participation in the city's cultural life.
