Apartment for sale in Targówek — prices and what you should know

An apartment for sale in Targówek in Q1 2025 cost on average from about PLN 12,700 to 13,000/m² on the secondary market (SonarHome data for January–March 2025). On the primary market rates started at around PLN 10,000–11,000/m² in cheaper schemes in Elsnerów and reached over PLN 16,000/m² in newer estates close to the M2 metro station. This is still one of the more affordable districts of right-bank Warszawa, although the gap versus the centre is gradually narrowing as the metro develops.

Targówek is a large, internally varied district east of Praga-Północ — from the block estates of Bródno to new schemes by the metro and single-family houses in Zacisze. Below we check what an apartment really costs here, what the building stock looks like in the individual parts of the district and what to pay attention to when choosing a unit — both on the secondary and the primary market.

How much does an apartment in Targówek cost in 2025?

The secondary market in Targówek moved within a narrow band in Q1 2025: January about PLN 12,971/m², February about PLN 12,748/m², March about PLN 12,746/m² (SonarHome data). This means a 50 m² apartment usually cost PLN 630,000–650,000 in that period, and a 65 m² unit about PLN 830,000–845,000. Prices differ strongly depending on the street and standard, though — from around PLN 10,000/m² in older blocks from the 1970s to well over ten thousand for renovated apartments closer to the metro.

The primary market is more dispersed in price terms, because it depends on the specific scheme. Cheaper projects in Elsnerów and Targówek Fabryczny started at around PLN 10,000–13,000/m², while newer estates on ul. Kondratowicza and near the metro station offered apartments in the PLN 14,000–16,500/m² range (data from rynekpierwotny.pl, wybierzdewelopera.pl). Developers mainly offered studios and 2-room apartments in sizes of 26–90 m².

Market	Indicative price per m² (Q1 2025)	50 m² apartment
Secondary	approx. PLN 12,700–13,000/m²	approx. PLN 635,000–650,000
Primary (developer)	approx. PLN 10,000–16,500/m², depending on the scheme	from approx. PLN 500,000

It is worth comparing these rates with other locations — a broader overview of prices in the capital is available in the article apartment prices in Warszawa.

What are the building types in Targówek?

Targówek is divided into several clearly distinct areas, which translates directly into the character of the available apartments:

• Bródno — the largest part of the district, dominated by large-panel blocks from the 1970s and 80s. Tall blocks, big estates with greenery between them, retail pavilions. Cheaper apartments, but often in need of renovation.
• Targówek Mieszkaniowy — older block housing complemented by newer schemes, closer to the Targówek Mieszkaniowy and Trocka metro stations. Prices higher than in Bródno.
• Targówek Fabryczny — former post-industrial land, currently being converted into new residential and service buildings; this is where most developer schemes are being built.
• Zacisze — quiet, largely single-family housing, fewer apartments in blocks, a more suburban character.
• Elsnerów — looser development on the border with Białołęka, cheaper new schemes.

There is little older, pre-war kamienica-type (tenement house) stock in Targówek — unlike neighbouring Praga-Północ, where kamienice dominate. Individual examples of low, older buildings can be found on ul. Radzymińska and in the Targówek Fabryczny area. If you are interested in a typical kamienica, it is worth looking instead at the guide to apartments in Praga-Północ.

What is transport and infrastructure like in Targówek?

The biggest change of recent years is the M2 metro with three stations within the district: Szwedzka (on the western border, close to Praga), Targówek Mieszkaniowy (the ul. Pratulińska area) and Trocka. The metro gives access to the centre via Praga in a dozen or so minutes and has clearly increased the appeal of areas previously seen as poorly connected.

The main transport corridors are ul. Radzymińska (linking the district with Praga and the centre), ul. Kondratowicza (the main axis of Bródno, along which lie the hospital, Park Bródnowski and the metro station) and ul. Rembielińska and św. Wincentego, along which trams run. Buses complete the grid of cross-connections — towards Żerań, Zacisze, Białołęka and Marki — especially where the metro does not reach, that is in Zacisze and Targówek Fabryczny.

In terms of greenery the district does well against other block estates in Warszawa — the key one is Park Bródnowski (between ul. Kondratowicza, Chodecka and Wyszogrodzka, around 2,800 trees) after the modernisation begun in 2019, as well as the neighbouring Las Bródnowski and the Bródnowski cemetery, which also functions as an extensive green area.

What should you pay attention to when choosing an apartment in Targówek?

When buying an apartment in Targówek it is worth checking a few things specific to this district:

1. Year of construction and condition of installations — large-panel blocks from the 1970s and 80s often need the electrical installation replaced, and thermal modernisation has not always been carried out in older blocks.
2. Distance from the metro station — the price difference between an apartment 5 minutes from Trocka station and a unit in Zacisze without direct metro access can be noticeable.
3. Investment plans in the area — Targówek Fabryczny is still being transformed, so it is worth asking about the development plans for neighbouring plots before buying.
4. Condition of the księga wieczysta (land and mortgage register) — especially with older stock and cooperative apartments, where unregulated legal situations occur. We explain how to read such a document in the article on the księga wieczysta.
5. Parking space — on large-panel estates parking can be a problem; new schemes usually offer underground garages.

The transaction process itself — from the offer to signing the akt notarialny (notarial deed) — is described step by step in the article buying an apartment step by step, and the additional costs, including notarial fees, are covered in the text on notarial costs of buying an apartment.

Who is Targówek for?

Targówek works above all for people and families looking for more floor space at a reasonable price, for whom metro access to the centre matters more than a downtown atmosphere. The district has plenty of greenery (Park Bródnowski, Las Bródnowski), which often attracts families with children and people who value quieter, neighbourhood life. Buyers looking for a kamienica, the atmosphere of pre-war Praga or a central location will rather find what they are after closer to the Wisła — the full offer of apartments in different parts of Warszawa is convenient to browse in the apartment catalogue.

For investors focused on rental, Targówek can be interesting because of the lower entry threshold than in central districts and the growing number of student and worker apartments near the metro — although every investment decision is worth consulting individually, rather than relying solely on general market trends.
