The best locations for buying a house in Tychy

Tychy is the tenth largest city in the Silesian Voivodeship. The fact that new residents are keen to settle here stems not only from good transport links but also from the wide choice of houses for sale in Tychy. But which location in Tychy is actually the best?

When buying a house, you should think about which factors relating to the house and its surroundings matter most to you: will it be a quiet neighbourhood away from the bustle of the city, or perhaps a place where you can spend time actively near home, or perhaps good transport links or proximity to the city's most important places matter most. That is why, in our ranking of the best locations, we chose neighbourhoods that can meet extremely different requirements.

Before turning to the ranking, it is worth knowing a few figures: the average price per square metre in Tychy is 3,377 PLN, and the average total floor area is 193 sq. m. The number of listings in individual neighbourhoods is shown in the chart:

Jaroszowice neighbourhood

Taking price as the criterion, we will pay the least per sq. m in the Jaroszowice neighbourhood. The average asking price per sq. m of a house for sale in this neighbourhood is 2,437 PLN, which is almost 30% lower than the average for Tychy as a whole. The neighbourhood lies in the eastern part of the city on national road 44, towards Bieruń and Oświęcim.

Czułów and Wilkowyje neighbourhoods

Both of these neighbourhoods lie in the north of the city and border directly on Katowice, which is why they are probably the best choice for people working in the capital of the Silesian Voivodeship. Moreover, unlike the rest of the city, single-family houses predominate here, hence Czułów and Wilkowyje have the most house-for-sale listings of all the neighbourhoods of Tychy. Peace and quiet are ensured there by the considerable distance from the very centre of the city and by the many green areas.

The average asking price per sq. m of a house in both of these neighbourhoods is 3,360 PLN. You can also come across much cheaper listings here, such as a 7-room secondary-market house with a total floor area of 400 sq. m, where a square metre costs 1,575 PLN, or a detached house of 600 sq. m, where the cost per sq. m is 1,333 PLN. The low price of these two properties may result from the fact that they require renovation work. In Czułów itself you can also find quite a few primary-market house listings with a total floor area from 130 to as much as 500 sq. m – for these properties you pay an average of 3,294 PLN per square metre.

Paprocany neighbourhood

Paprocany is the best choice for active people because of its many recreational facilities, concentrated around the reservoir as part of a leisure complex.

Given the character of this area, the listings are among the most expensive in the whole city: a square metre here costs as much as 6 thousand PLN. On the other hand, in Paprocany we are dealing with large properties of at least five rooms, with an average floor area of 224 square metres. It is worth adding that all the listings come from the secondary market.

Śródmieście neighbourhood

In Śródmieście the greatest advantage is the ease of getting to the city's most important places, that is, the proximity of offices and shops. In this central neighbourhood, as in much of Tychy, the buildings are predominantly blocks of flats and tenement houses – indeed, it is from this part of the city that most flat-for-sale listings come. There are, however, a dozen or so house-for-sale listings here, including several from the primary market.

For as little as 395 thousand PLN you can buy a new five-room terraced house of 150 square metres, located on the Zuzanna estate directly bordering Paprocany – the price per square metre is 2,663 PLN. As for secondary-market properties, these start at 554 thousand PLN for a six-room property with a total floor area of 175 sq. m (3,166 PLN per sq. m), and go up to an eight-room detached house of 309 sq. m, for which you have to pay 1.25 million PLN (4,045 PLN per sq. m).

It is worth noting that in Tychy there are almost twice as many building plots for sale as houses, which indicates dynamic development of the property market in this Silesian city.
