Buying property in Chorzów – why is it worth it?

We continue our guide, of sorts, to Katowice and other places in Silesia, intended to encourage you to invest in property. Today, something for those considering a house or flat in Chorzów. What might make you want to live here in 2020 and tie your future to this area?

The Silesian Stadium

The main venue for cultural and sporting events, not only in Chorzów but across the whole of Silesia, has once again become the recently revived Silesian Stadium (Stadion Śląski). It is a symbol of the region that once again delights visitors from all over Poland and beyond. What events await us at the Chorzów stadium this year? Among others, the Polish national football team will visit us as it prepares for the European Championship. As for concerts, the Sylwestrowa Moc Przebojów (New Year's Eve hit parade) is held regularly at the Silesian Stadium, and world-class stars play here – in recent years, among others, Guns N' Roses and Rammstein. This year will certainly be no different, and crowds will flock to the "Witches' Cauldron" (Kocioł Czarownic) more than once.

Silesian trams

Something unique about Silesia is the largest tram network in Poland. It is unique in Poland, because it does not operate within one city but connects many towns of the so-called Upper Silesian conurbation, including Chorzów. For this reason, hundreds of public transport and rail enthusiasts come to Silesia and Chorzów, not only from Poland but also from abroad.

City development

Chorzów, like other Silesian cities, is breaking away more and more boldly and effectively from the image of an unattractive, industrial and mining city, in favour of a modern place that is open to young people. With the growing range of educational and cultural opportunities, the number of people interested in property in Chorzów is also growing. The Silesian Stadium plays an important part here again, or more precisely the Silesian Park (Park Śląski), in which the stadium is located. It is one of the largest city parks in Europe, around which the number of modern, attractive developments keeps growing. Plans include a new swimming area on its grounds, an electric railway and renovation of existing facilities. This of course creates new jobs and drives the city's economy, including the market for flats and houses for sale in Chorzów.

History

Despite the development of Silesia, we should not forget its history, which is also exceptionally interesting and can be an attraction for visitors. The mines no longer define the region's strength as much, but they are an integral part of its heritage, which you can get to know, for example, by visiting some of them as a tourist and learning about what has for years been inseparably linked with Silesia and with cities such as Chorzów. This is essential knowledge if you want to settle in this part of Poland for the long term.

Chorzów is another place that is breaking Silesian stereotypes and proving that this region is really worth living in. If you are interested in, for example, flats on the primary market in Chorzów, we will gladly help and make your housing investment in the city easier.
