Kazimierz from 20 years ago. Abandoned tenements, empty squares, silence broken only by trams on Krakowska street. Today? It’s the vibrant heart of cultural Krakow, where a square meter of apartment costs an average of 16,500 PLN.
Yesterday I met with a client at the now-iconic Alchemia. Between sips of coffee and memories of old Kazimierz, we discussed the phenomenon of this transformation.
“I’m looking for an apartment right here,” she said, “because only here do I feel the true spirit of Krakow.”
Kazimierz is a district of contrasts. On Szeroka street you can still find authentic Jewish atmosphere, synagogues neighboring trendy art galleries. Plac Nowy with its cult zapiekankas attracts both Cracovians and tourists from around the world. And apartments? They’re a true kaleidoscope of possibilities.
In renovated tenements we find lofts with brick walls and industrial accents. Prices start from 15,000 PLN per meter deep in the district, reaching 20,000 PLN for exclusive apartments with Wisła views. New developments, like the one on Dietla, offer modern apartments maintaining the historical character of facades.
Who buys in Kazimierz? Primarily artists, culture people, freelance professionals. More and more international IT companies locate their offices here, followed by young specialists. It’s also a favorite district for investors focused on short-term rentals, though new regulations may change this.
Kazimierz’s greatest asset is its authenticity. Where else will you find a bookstore open until midnight, jazz bars hidden in cellars, craft workshops operating for generations? This isn’t just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle.
Challenges? Of course there are. Noise on weekend evenings, tourist crowds in summer, limited parking spaces. But Kazimierz residents unanimously claim: “It’s a small price to pay for living in Krakow’s most magical place.”
If you’re thinking about Kazimierz, act fast. Good offers disappear within days. Our agency has access to properties not yet on the open market.
