When looking for the ideal place to buy your own house or building plot in the Silesian Voivodeship, it is worth thinking about Mysłowice. The city, part of the Upper Silesian conurbation, stands out not only for its many historic buildings but also for good connections with larger residential centres.
Average price of a house in Mysłowice
When analysing the property market in Mysłowice, one can see that it is quite varied. Some houses can be bought for as little as 1,800 PLN/m2, while the most expensive cost about 4,500 PLN/m2. The average price of a house per 1 m2 in Mysłowice on the secondary market is relatively low compared with other cities of the Silesian Voivodeship – in the second quarter of 2015 it was about 2,500 PLN/m2. On the primary market, however, we will pay more than 4,000 PLN/m2 on average.
Where is it worth buying a house in Mysłowice?
The most urbanised and industrialised part of the city is the north, which also has the densest population. It is precisely in this area that you will find the most "house for sale" signs. For example, in the Piasek district, where multi-family housing and 3-storey houses predominate, prices start at 500 thousand PLN. In Bończyk, on the other hand, we will find smaller, new single-family properties, which admittedly cost half as much again, but most of them are sold with a plot.
Many listings for houses for sale in Mysłowice come from the Śródmieście district, which also has the most blocks of flats. It is worth considering this area if location matters most to us, because Śródmieście has the most city institutions, such as offices, schools and hospitals. Bear in mind, however, that property prices in this area are the highest. A four-room house can cost as much as 500 thousand PLN. Prices per square metre in this area, meanwhile, range from 3,000 to 3,500 PLN.
Another Mysłowice district worth looking at for a property is Janów Miejski. There are quite a few listings of detached houses there. Prices in this area vary quite widely, so it is easier to find a listing that suits your budget. The average price of a 6-room house in Janów Miejski is about 450 thousand PLN.
The Ćmok district is smaller than Janów Miejski. Four-room, single-storey houses there cost about 400 thousand PLN. If, on the other hand, a new building is not important to us, in the Słupna district we will find very old properties, some even dating back to the Second World War. An eight-room house in the Słupna district costs up to 500 thousand PLN on average.

Where is it worth buying a plot in Mysłowice?
If we plan frequent trips to larger centres, not necessarily within the Silesian Voivodeship, it is worth looking at the extremely well-connected Brzęczkowice district, in the northern part of the city. The A4 motorway and the S1 expressway run through this area. The cheapest two-storey houses with a plot of about 2.5 thousand square metres cost about 500 thousand PLN in Brzęczkowice. However, buying a plot there and building a house seems more cost-effective, as building land costs from just 100 PLN/m2.
Another place worth considering if we want to build a new house is the Morgi district, in the central part of Mysłowice. A great asset of this part of the city is its many green areas, good location and easy access to the centre. Plot prices vary quite widely here, ranging from 70 to as much as 200 PLN/m2.
Other districts in the central part of Mysłowice with a large number of plot listings are Wesoła, Larysz and Brzezinka. Prices are, however, much higher, as the minimum price for 1 m2 of a plot is 120 PLN. Plot listings can also be found in the southern part of Mysłowice: for example in Krasowy, where building plot prices start at 130 PLN/m2, or in the Kosztowy district – there, however, you have to pay about 200 PLN/m2 for 1 m2 of plot.
House or plot?
The choice of a house or plot in Mysłowice depends above all on location. The most cost-effective districts for building your own property turn out to be Morgi and Brzęczkowice, as these are where we find the cheapest building plots. However, we cannot turn a blind eye to the appeal of large properties in Słupna and Janów Miejski. Most of all, of course, it depends on our expectations.
