Apartment for rent in Rembertów — a guide to the district

Renting an apartment in Rembertów is usually one of the cheaper options on the map of Warszawa — according to aggregated data from March 2024, the median rent for a studio is approx. 2,300 PLN a month, for a 2-room apartment approx. 2,950 PLN, and for a 3-room one approx. 3,600 PLN. Rates per square metre most often fall within the range of 58-87 PLN/m², which places the district clearly below the average for the whole of Warszawa. Rembertów lies on the eastern edge of the city, bordering Wesoła, Wawer and Praga-Południe, and although there is no metro or tram here, the district has its own railway station with a direct connection to the centre. Below are the details on prices, housing estates, transport and who this area makes sense for.

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Rembertów?

Rembertów consistently belongs to the districts with the lowest rents in Warszawa — in aggregated compilations from property portals (Otodom, OLX and Morizon among others) the average residential listing sits clearly below the city average, which in March 2024 reached approx. 4,400-4,500 PLN a month across the capital. That is the result of its peripheral location, the smaller number of new developer projects and the absence of a metro, which in Warszawa usually translates into lower rates.

The table below shows typical prices by number of rooms, based on aggregated listings from the rental market:

Number of rooms	Median rent	Typical floor area	Rate per m²
1 room	approx. 2,300 PLN	approx. 28 m²	approx. 87 PLN/m²
2 rooms	approx. 2,950 PLN	approx. 44 m²	approx. 68 PLN/m²
3 rooms	approx. 3,600 PLN	approx. 63 m²	approx. 58 PLN/m²
4 rooms	approx. 5,550 PLN	approx. 84 m²	approx. 68 PLN/m²

It is worth remembering that the amounts given are usually the rent alone — without the administrative charges to the cooperative or owners’ association, utilities and internet, which depending on the building may add another 400-800 PLN a month. The current price level in the location that interests you is always worth verifying up to date, for example by browsing the listings in the allproperty catalogue, where availability and prices are updated on an ongoing basis.

What are the housing estates and micro-areas of Rembertów?

Rembertów, although administratively one of the smaller districts of Warszawa, is internally divided into several recognisable areas that differ in the character of their buildings and in prices. This matters, because when searching for an “apartment for rent Rembertów” listing you will come across offers from very different parts of the district.

The areas that appear most often in listings are:

• Stary Rembertów — the historic centre of the district around the town hall and the PKP station, older buildings, close to the offices and service points.
• Nowy Rembertów — closer to the boundary with Wesoła, a mix of older blocks and individual newer developments.
• Kawęczyn-Wygoda — the area closer to Wawer and Gocławek, more greenery and single-family houses, with prices often lower than in the centre of the district.
• Estates on ul. Chełmżyńska — newer developer projects, such as Park Leśny Rembertów, directly adjoining Las Rembertowski.

The differences in price between these areas stem mainly from the distance to the Warszawa Rembertów PKP station and the age of the building — newer apartments around Chełmżyńska can be several hundred zloty more expensive than a comparable floor area in older buildings closer to the district centre.

What is commuting from Rembertów like — train, buses, metro?

There is no metro station or tram line in Rembertów — it is one of the few districts of Warszawa without trams. The key element of transport is instead the Warszawa Rembertów railway station on ul. Cyrulików, served by Koleje Mazowieckie and Szybka Kolej Miejska trains (lines including R1, R2, R3, R6, R7, S1, S2). By train to Warszawa Wschodnia the journey usually takes 15-20 minutes, and onwards to the centre — another dozen or so minutes.

The district is also served by a dense network of city buses — according to data from the Rembertów district office these include lines 115, 143, 153, 183, 196, 199, 216, 225, 245 and 514, and at night N21, N24 and N71. The Z2M bus runs towards the Trocka metro station, which is one option for people working closer to the centre without changing to a train. For tenants looking for a short commute to work, the most important thing is proximity to the PKP station itself — the further the apartment is from it, the more the journey depends on the bus timetable.

What does Rembertów’s infrastructure offer — parks, schools, shops?

The district’s main natural asset is Las Rembertowski — an extensive forest complex used by residents of the surrounding estates, especially those closer to ul. Chełmżyńska and Kawęczyn-Wygoda. This is one of the reasons why Rembertów is sometimes recommended to families looking for more greenery than in the central districts of Warszawa.

The district has several primary schools, including Szkoła Podstawowa nr 217 on ul. Madziarów, as well as kindergartens and a library point. In retail terms Rembertów is typically local in character — chain shops (Biedronka, Lidl and others) and a shopping arcade on al. gen. Chruściela, but with no large shopping centre within the district’s boundaries — for bigger shopping trips residents most often travel to neighbouring parts of Warszawa. That is worth taking into account when choosing an apartment, if everyday shopping “right by the block” is a priority for you.

Who is Rembertów for, and who is it not for?

Rembertów will work for:

• families with children looking for a quieter, green area at a lower price than in the central districts,
• people commuting by train to work in other parts of Warszawa or outside the city,
• tenants whose priority is lower rent while keeping a connection to the centre.

It will be less suitable for people who care about being close to the metro, a tram, large shopping centres or an intense nightlife — infrastructure of that kind is practically absent from Rembertów itself, and the nearest larger service hubs are already in neighbouring districts. If you are looking for a comparison with other parts of the city with a similar profile, it is also worth glancing at the article on rental prices in Warszawa, where rates in different districts are set side by side.

How to look for an apartment for rent in Rembertów and what to avoid?

When looking for an apartment in this district it is worth paying attention to the distance from the Warszawa Rembertów PKP station — it is that, more than the administrative address itself, which determines the real commuting time to the centre. The second important point is checking whether the price in the listing already includes the czynsz administracyjny (the administrative fee paid to the cooperative or owners’ association) or whether it has to be added separately — in Rembertów the differences here can be considerable between older and new buildings.

Before signing a contract it is worth assembling the standard set of documents and checking the provisions on the deposit — we have described more about what a landlord may require and how to structure the contract itself in the article on the documents needed to rent an apartment. If you would rather save time browsing scattered advertisements, you will find current listings from Rembertów and the surrounding area in the allproperty catalogue, and for people who rent out an apartment in this district themselves we recommend the offer for owners — it also includes information about the terms of cooperation on rentals.
