Flats in Katowice: why rent in the centre
Text from 2021. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
Katowice, as the most important economic centre of Upper Silesia, attracts many people from different regions of the country. It should be stressed that the whole Silesian Agglomeration is a very popular destination for Ukrainian citizens seeking work abroad, who value both the relatively wide availability of jobs and the convenient connections with our eastern neighbour.
These factors have made the Katowice housing market very attractive, especially for investors who would like to make a profit from letting. Buying a flat in Katowice can turn out to be an excellent way of investing capital with the aim of growing it.
To achieve this, however, you need to choose a flat that best meets tenants' expectations. The most important considerations in deciding on a purchase are the location and the size of the flat bought to let. Research shows that smaller flats, such as studio flats, are the more attractive ones to rent out. A flat of up to 40 m² can provide a higher rate of return from letting than larger ones. A location in the very centre and the number of rooms are the two most important factors affecting the rent.
So which location in Katowice is particularly sought after by tenants? Of course, it is Katowice Śródmieście.
Katowice Śródmieście
A location in the wider centre of Katowice offers enormous opportunities for enjoying leisure time, as well as access to workplaces and many universities. Flats to let right here mean a steady stream of prospective tenants.
Areas that boast easy access to entertainment, cultural venues and a well-developed transport network are also popular.
An example of a residential development being built in the very heart of Katowice and of the growing metropolis is Pierwsza Dzielnica.
