Flats to rent in Katowice – best districts for students, families with children and seniors

The capital of the Silesian Voivodeship is one of the largest cities in Poland and has been developing continuously for many years. Its modernist architecture, abundance of music festivals and – something that may come as a surprise to many – numerous green areas are all worth noting. For this reason, flats to rent in the city of Katowice are quite popular. This is due, among other things, to their attractive price, much lower than in other large cities such as Kraków, Warsaw or Poznań. The low unemployment rate and very little traffic congestion are also worth noting. A flat to rent in Katowice therefore interests not only students but also young couples, families with children and seniors. Which districts might appeal to them most?

Renting a flat in Katowice – the best districts for students

Every year Katowice attracts thousands of new students, not only from Silesia but also from other parts of the country. Besides the University of Silesia, the University of Economics, the Medical University of Silesia and the Silesian University of Technology, there are many other institutions of higher education here. Young people look for both studio flats to rent in Katowice and somewhat larger spaces. They usually decide to share a property with several other people. In this case a good solution would be, for example, a 3-room flat to rent in Katowice. Which districts are the most popular?

• Among the places where young people live is Osiedle Tysiąclecia, located in the north-western part of the city. It is one of the most attractive districts of Katowice. Rentals cover both the tall blocks of flats that dominate the area and somewhat lower buildings put up in recent years. Why do students choose Osiedle Tysiąclecia? Above all because of the very good connections both to the centre and to other surrounding cities, and the proximity of institutions such as the Upper Silesian School of Entrepreneurship, the Silesian School of Medicine, the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice and the School of Management of Occupational Safety.
• The Bogucice district, with its studio flats to rent in Katowice, is another place where we will undoubtedly meet students. This is due to the proximity of the University of Economics and the University of Silesia, as well as the famous Spodek arena in Katowice, where interesting events take place regularly.

Cheap flat to rent in Katowice – the best places for seniors

Older people most often look for places where renting a flat in Katowice is cheap.

• Brynów-Osiedle Zgrzebnioka is one of the most attractive and popular places, whether we are interested in cheap studio flats in Katowice or larger properties. Worth noting above all are the sizeable city park, very good transport links, plenty of greenery and the absence of post-industrial areas.
• Listings along the lines of "I'm looking to rent out a flat in Katowice", created with seniors in mind, very often concern the Wełnowiec-Józefowiec district. Besides the many green areas, older people can count on various kinds of city initiatives organised with their needs in mind.
