KRAKÓW FOR FAMILIES: WHERE IS IT REALLY WORTH LIVING WITH CHILDREN?
“Where should we buy a flat so our children will be happy?” We hear this question every day. After years of helping families find their place on Earth, we know the answer is more complex than just “close to a good school.”
Yesterday, we showed an apartment to a family with two small children. We stood on a balcony in Bronowice Małe, looking at a playground, school, and kindergarten—all within sight. “It’s perfect,” said the mother. “But is it enough for the next 15 years?” asked the father. And he was right.
Bronowice is a classic family district of Kraków: space, greenery, infrastructure. New developments offer flats with gardens, catalogue-worthy playgrounds, safe streets. Prices? 12,000–16,000 PLN/m². But it’s not just about square meters.
Ruczaj is surprisingly dynamic. Once a sleepy suburb, now it’s full of life. The Jagiellonian University campus attracts young academic families. Bilingual preschools and alternative schools are appearing. Park Ruczaj is a real oasis. A 70 m² flat? Around 1 million PLN.
Prądnik Biały is the choice of pragmatists: excellent transport, full infrastructure, reasonable prices. It might lack Kazimierz’s charm, but when you have three kids, being near IKEA matters more than bohemian cafés.
What about less obvious choices? Bieżanów is developing at lightning speed. New housing estates, competitive prices (11,000 PLN/m²), improving transport links. In 5 years, it could resemble today’s Ruczaj.
Wola Justowska is a dream—if you can afford 16,000+ PLN/m². Wolski Forest outside your window, top-tier schools, prestige. But do you really need prestige—or would an extra bedroom matter more?
Our advice? Think long-term. A kindergarten around the corner is great—but what about when your child turns 6? Primary school, middle school, high school, extracurriculars. Map out the next 10–15 years.
Space matters. Better to have 80 m² further from the center than 50 m² in a top location. With teenagers, every extra meter will count.
Public transport > own car. With three kids and three sets of activities, the tram saves lives (and nerves).
Community matters. A neighborhood full of families offers built-in support: shared walks, clothing swaps, neighborly help.
