Flats in Wilanów - is it worth it?

Wilanów is a district of Warsaw that stands out for its tranquility and peace. Although it is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it has efficient communication with other parts of the city. It will be particularly appreciated by those who enjoy nature, active recreation, and at the same time work in the centre.

Wilanów Apartments: Pros and Cons

The location is undoubtedly an advantage of Wilanów. In the vicinity, there is Powsin Park, a forest reserve, Natolin Park, and Wilanów Lake, places where one can relax while enjoying nature. These are also ideal routes for walks and bike trips. The apartments in Wilanów are situated away from the urban noise, yet they provide access to attractions, large hypermarkets, commercial and service facilities, or cultural sites. Most of us work in the centre of Warsaw, and from Wilanów, we have very convenient access via public transport. After a whole day of work in the hustle, we can return to our refuge and enjoy the peace.

In Wilanów, we find modern apartments designed with attention to every detail. Some of them are located near the Wilanów Palace, thus their style refers to the suburbs of the 20th century in Warsaw. Special emphasis has also been placed on amenities for future residents - balconies, glazed conservatories, storage rooms associated with the apartments for storing bikes, parking spaces, and lifts. The apartments are usually located in fenced and secured buildings, which adds a layer of safety. 

A downside of this location is the apartment prices related to their high standard; however, it is worth looking for an apartment from a developer in Wilanów, as they are usually the best situated. 

What to Consider When Buying an Apartment?

An important issue is the distance from work or, in the case of families with children, from schools and kindergartens. There are several such institutions in Wilanów, and if needed, commutes are not a problem due to very efficient public transport. This is also where the educational institution has the smallest number of children enrolled, so there is no issue with registration. Housing in Wilanów is developing very quickly, hence we can find a vast number of apartments to choose from. In relation to the number of residents, there were as many as 51 apartments per 1000 people in Wilanów Town in 2011. Another aspect to consider is the surrounding area. Wilanów boasts a unique atmosphere with historical buildings and parks in the background. Young couples often decide on an apartment in Wilanów due to its recreational benefits. If we want to save a bit, we can finish the apartment ourselves; however, there is also significant interest in "turnkey" apartments. By choosing such an option, we can move in immediately, as the unit is ready. We often also have the opportunity to take advantage of architects' advice, so our dream apartment will be exactly as we desire. Of course, if we don't want a property from the primary market, we can opt for one from the secondary market, but then we need to consider the possibility of defects or hidden faults.
