Apartments for Rent in Bielany — A Guide to the District
Renting an apartment in Bielany, Warszawa: prices of studios and 2–3 room flats, the M1 metro, sub-areas and who this district suits best.
Renting a studio in Bielany in 2025 usually cost 2,500–3,000 PLN per month plus the czynsz administracyjny (administrative service charge), a 2-room apartment 3,300–3,900 PLN, and a 3-room apartment on average 4,000–4,300 PLN (Otodom listing data, as of 2025). That is still clearly cheaper than in Śródmieście or Żoliborz, while keeping a direct metro connection — the M1 line serves the district at four stations: Słodowiec, Stare Bielany, Wawrzyszew and Młociny.
Bielany is one of the larger districts of Warszawa (32.34 km², about 130,500 residents at the end of 2024 according to Wikipedia/GUS data), divided into 14 official areas — from densely built estates by the metro (Wawrzyszew, Słodowiec, Chomiczówka) to quieter, greener areas by Las Bielański. For a tenant this means that “Bielany” is in practice several different rental markets within one district — an apartment 300 metres from the Młociny metro station will have a different price and a different character from one near Wólka Węglowa. Below we break the district down into its component parts: prices, sub-areas, transport, infrastructure and who renting here makes the most sense for.
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Bielany in 2025?
Rental prices in Bielany depend above all on the distance from a metro station and the age of the building. Apartments in wielka płyta (prefabricated concrete slab) blocks from the 1970s and 1980s (Wawrzyszew, Chomiczówka, Piaski) are cheaper than new developer projects near Młociny or Wólczyńska.

It is worth remembering that these are asking prices — the actual rate after negotiation is sometimes lower, especially outside the student rental season (September–October). A broader context of prices across the whole city can be found in the piece on rental prices in Warszawa.
What are the sub-areas of Bielany and how do they differ?
The Miejski System Informacji (the city’s information system) divides Bielany into 14 areas, but for a tenant a few main ones matter: Wawrzyszew, Chomiczówka, Słodowiec, Stare Bielany, Młociny, Marymont-Ruda/Kaskada and Wrzeciono.
- Wawrzyszew — a 1970s estate directly by the Wawrzyszew metro station, dense block development, good retail infrastructure, one of the cheaper “close to the metro” options.
- Chomiczówka — further from the M1, transport based on buses and trams, quieter, typically family-oriented, prices usually slightly lower than right by the metro.
- Młociny — the M1 terminus and an interchange hub, next to Galeria Młociny (one of the largest shopping centres in this part of the city) — here you will find the most new developer projects and higher prices for a new standard.
- Stare Bielany and Słodowiec — older buildings, proximity to Las Bielański, valued by residents looking for greenery without giving up the metro.
- Marymont-Ruda and Marymont-Kaskada — areas closer to Żoliborz, with a good tram connection, often chosen as an alternative to the more expensive Żoliborz.
What is transport like in Bielany — metro, trams, buses?
The metro is the district’s main asset: the M1 line serves Bielany at four stations (Słodowiec, Stare Bielany, Wawrzyszew, Młociny), and the ride to the centre takes roughly 15–25 minutes depending on the station and the destination. The Młociny station additionally serves as an interchange hub for long-distance buses and trams heading towards the northern municipalities (Łomianki).
The district is also served by a dense tram network — lines such as 6, 10, 11, 17 and 28 connect Bielany with Śródmieście, Wola, Żoliborz and right-bank Warszawa — and by buses (including 114, 116, 180, 181), which reach areas further from the metro, such as Chomiczówka or Wólka Węglowa. Driving to the centre at rush hour can be slower, usually 20–40 minutes, due to through traffic on the exit routes.
What is the infrastructure like in Bielany — parks, schools, shopping?
The district’s greatest natural asset is Las Bielański — a nature reserve of about 130 ha, a remnant of the Mazovian primeval forest, with a network of walking and cycling paths. It is complemented by smaller green areas such as Park Olszyna and the surroundings of Stawy Brustmana.
In terms of shopping, the district has two main poles: Centrum Handlowe Auchan Bielany (several dozen shops) in the Wólczyńska area and Galeria Młociny by the metro terminus — one of the most modern shopping centres in this part of Warszawa, with a cinema and a wide range of restaurants. The network of smaller local shops, clinics and schools (primary and secondary) is well developed across most estates, though its density varies between areas — Wawrzyszew and Chomiczówka have the densest service infrastructure, while the peripheral parts of the district (Radiowo, Wólka Węglowa) are more dispersed.
Who does renting in Bielany work well for?
The district suits several tenant profiles best:
- People commuting to the centre or the business parts of the city — thanks to the M1 metro the journey is fast and predictable, independent of traffic jams.
- Families with children looking for access to greenery (Las Bielański) without giving up urban infrastructure.
- People looking for a lower price than in Śródmieście or Żoliborz, but still with good transport links.
- Students and young couples — especially in the Wawrzyszew and Słodowiec area, where studio prices are relatively affordable.
It suits less well those who treat nightlife and a density of atmospheric venues right on their doorstep as a priority — in that respect they will be closer to home in the centre or in Praga-Południe.
How to look for an apartment for rent in Bielany?
When searching, it is worth filtering offers straight away by distance from a specific metro station, because that is what differentiates prices most strongly within the district — an apartment 300 metres from Młociny and one near Wólka Węglowa mean a different budget, despite the same district address. Before signing an agreement, check the standard set of documents and the rules on the deposit — described in the guide to documents for renting.
