Proximity to the centre, a prestigious location and picturesque scenery thanks to the nearby Park Śląski – these are the greatest advantages of living in Klimzowiec, a traditional district of Chorzów that is now administratively part of Centrum. It is practically the heart of the city, once called Królewska Huta, and one of the best spots to live.

From here it is close to Park Śląski (the Silesian Voivodeship Park), Rose Park, the Silesian Stadium and the river Rawa, which marks the southern boundary of the district. There is no shortage of shops in the area either, as it is home to, among others, the AKS Shopping Centre, and a little further away, Silesia City Center. There are many more advantages to living in Klimzowiec. One asset is the district's excellent transport links, with numerous tram, bus and rail lines running through it. Residents with cars can reach Katowice, Gliwice or Tychy in just a few minutes by driving along the Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa or ul. Chorzowska.

It might seem a very expensive district, but nothing could be further from the truth! Compared with other cities in the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis, the district offers real bargains – both houses and flats at affordable prices. What does the local property market look like? We checked!
Secondary-market flats in Chorzów
A future owner of a flat in a 10-storey block in the charming area by Rose Park (ul. Astrów) must be prepared to pay 150 thousand PLN for 38 square metres. A 25-square-metre flat in a high-rise on ul. Krzywa, in turn, costs 115 thousand PLN. These units, however, need renovating. So how much does a refreshed, modern home cost? A 48-square-metre one can lighten the buyer's account by 235 thousand PLN. Fans of flats in somewhat lower, four-storey buildings will pay 197 thousand PLN for 51 sq m, and 352 thousand PLN for as much as 103 sq m! As you can see, the spread in prices is enormous.
Or perhaps a modern, brand-new apartment in Klimzowiec?
Nowadays more and more people decide to buy a flat on the primary market. In Chorzów too – there is no shortage of such listings in Klimzowiec. One of the more interesting developments is the one located at ul. św. Barbary 14. Różane Tarasy, as it is called, is a multi-family apartment building with 59 flats of varied floor area, ranging from 36 to 103 sq m. The development started last year and will be completed in the fourth quarter of this year. Prices here start from 5,200 PLN per sq m.
A house in Klimzowiec is an excellent investment
The Chorzów property market offers many beautiful large houses. Their prices vary and depend, among other things, on technical condition and also on location. With around 900 thousand PLN in your pocket you can pick and choose. For many, however, that price is prohibitive. What can be bought for less? For a tiny, 52-square-metre, detached, furnished house we will pay 390 thousand PLN. On the other hand, we must lay out 650 thousand PLN if we dream of a 140-square-metre semi-detached house from 1971. For 750 thousand PLN, in turn, we can buy a house from 2000 with as much as 220 square metres of floor space, surrounded by a 300-square-metre plot, and in a slightly different corner of Klimzowiec we will find a house of similar size from 1999 that costs 850 thousand PLN. For 890 thousand PLN we can buy, for example, a 150-square-metre terraced house on a 200-square-metre plot in a quiet area. And one on ul. Zgrzebnioka, with an area of 256 sq m and a beautiful garden, costs 775 thousand PLN. If we dream of a gigantic estate, in this district we will also find an almost 400-square-metre house worth 1.25 million PLN.
Renting is an option too
If our account is empty and we do not intend to take out a loan, the best solution will be to rent a flat. That is an outlay of between 1,000 and 1,500 PLN a month for a 36-square-metre unit. The cost of renting in this district ranges from 500 to as much as 4,000 PLN – the final price depends on the location, the size of the flat and its condition.
