Apartment for rent in Targówek — a guide to the district

How much does an apartment for rent in Targówek cost? According to data from the advertising portals for mid-2026, the median rent for an apartment in Targówek is approx. 3,000 PLN a month, at a median floor area of 47 m² and an average rate of approx. 70-71 PLN per m² (as of May-July 2026). Studios are rented on average for 2,400-2,500 PLN, two-room apartments for approx. 3,100 PLN, and three-room ones for 3,900-4,000 PLN a month — on top of which comes the administrative fee, whose median reaches approx. 824 PLN, and a deposit usually equal to 1-2 monthly rents. That is clearly below the average for the whole of Warszawa (approx. 5,000 PLN for an apartment), which makes Targówek one of the more affordable right-bank districts — especially since five stations of the second metro line were opened here in 2019 and 2022, shortening the commute to the centre to approx. 15-20 minutes. Below: the district’s sub-areas, transport, infrastructure and who Targówek works best for.

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Targówek in 2026?

Rental prices in Targówek differ depending on floor area and location — the offering by Bródno metro station looks different from the one in the villa part of Zacisze. The table below shows indicative rates based on listings from the Gratka and Otodom portals (as of July 2026):

Type of apartment	Average price	Avg. floor area	Price per m²

To the rent you have to add the administrative charges — their median in Targówek is approx. 824 PLN a month — plus advance payments for utilities, if they are not included in the price. In most listings the deposit corresponds to 1-2 monthly rents (median approx. 4,000 PLN). You can read more about how to protect your rights when paying a deposit in the article on the deposit and tenants’ rights.

What are the sub-areas of Targówek and how do they differ?

Targówek is one of the largest districts of Warszawa, divided into several clearly distinct parts. The most important of them are:

• Targówek Mieszkaniowy — estates around the Targówek Mieszkaniowy and Trocka metro stations, dense development from the 1970s and 1980s, the best access to the metro.
• Bródno — the largest part of the district, mainly prefabricated concrete blocks, but also new developments such as Bródno Park; this is where the Kondratowicza and Bródno metro stations and Park Bródnowski are located.
• Zacisze and Elsnerów — quieter, largely single-family and villa housing, closer to the boundary with Marki; Zacisze metro station is the easternmost station of the entire Warsaw metro.
• Targówek Fabryczny and Bródno-Podgrodzie — former industrial land and estates closer to the Wisła and Praga-Północ, partly still undergoing revitalisation.

The difference in price and atmosphere can be considerable: in Targówek Mieszkaniowy and in Bródno near the metro, renting a studio can be more expensive than in quieter Zacisze, where houses and apartments with a garden come up more often. Anyone looking for a similar overview of the neighbouring district can turn to the guide Praga-Północ for rent.

What is commuting to Targówek like — metro, trams, buses?

The biggest change of recent years is the second metro line (M2), which reached Targówek in two stages: the Targówek Mieszkaniowy and Trocka stations opened on 15 September 2019, and Zacisze, Kondratowicza and Bródno on 28 September 2022. Thanks to this, from the terminus at Bródno the metro reaches the centre (Świętokrzyska) in just under 20 minutes, with no traffic jams and no changes. A Park & Ride car park for approx. 475 cars and 116 bicycles is also planned by Bródno station (the tender for the design was announced in February 2025).

The bus network is dense and largely feeds the metro stations — lines 112, 120, 132, 138, 160, 170, 190, 212, 240 and 256 serve different parts of the district, and the night lines (including N11, N14, N64) run around the clock. Trams in Targówek are limited to the western edge of the district — the nearest tram stops (such as Poborzańska) lie closer to the boundary with Praga-Północ, so in most sub-areas the metro and bus remain the basis of the commute. Drivers use ul. Radzymińska and Trasa Toruńska, which link Targówek with the S8 ring road and Marki. A comparison of districts with the best access to the metro can also be found in the article districts of Warszawa with the best metro connections.

What is the infrastructure like — parks, schools, shopping?

Targówek belongs to the green districts of Warszawa — green areas occupy approx. 30% of its surface. The largest of them is Park Bródnowski (25.4 ha) between the streets Kondratowicza, Chodecka and Wyszogrodzka, and nearby, around the streets Kondratowicza, Malborska and Głębocka, lies Las Bródnowski, one of the fragments of the „Las Sobieskiego” forest district. The district is also carrying out a revitalisation of Park Bródnowski — new paths, sports zones and playgrounds are planned.

Shopping is concentrated above all around the shopping centre at ul. Głębocka 15 (formerly Atrium Targówek, today operating as G City Targówek), served by more than a dozen bus lines, and around the network of neighbourhood shops and marketplaces, especially in the Bródno area. The district also has expanding educational infrastructure — new institutions are being built, including a primary school on ul. Gilarska, and kindergartens in Zacisze and Bródno are being extended, which responds to the growing number of young families settling in the new developments.

Who is Targówek the best choice for?

Targówek will work above all for people looking for lower rent than in Śródmieście or Praga-Południe, but who do not want to give up a convenient metro commute to the centre. It is also a good choice for families with children — thanks to the large amount of greenery, the new schools and quieter sub-areas such as Zacisze or Elsnerów. Students and people working in the centre or in Wola, in turn, more often choose studios close to the Targówek Mieszkaniowy, Trocka or Kondratowicza stations, from where the commute is fastest.

Targówek will be less suitable for those who care about a tram connection right outside the door (the tram network bypasses it) or about intimate, inner-city architecture — those needs will be better met by Śródmieście or Żoliborz, for instance. It is also worth remembering that part of the housing stock consists of older prefabricated concrete buildings, so the finishing standard can vary greatly even within a single street.

How to look for an apartment for rent in Targówek and what to watch out for?

Before you sign a contract, check the technical condition of the apartment carefully, ask about the amount and the settlement method of the czynsz administracyjny (the administrative fee paid to the cooperative or owners’ association), and about whether the listing involves an agency commission — a fair share of listings in Targówek are offers without an extra charge, but it is always worth confirming this before arranging a viewing. Assemble the documents usually needed to sign a contract (we have described them in the guide to rental documents), and make sure the terms for returning the deposit are clearly written into the contract. It is also good practice to draw up a protokół zdawczo-odbiorczy (handover protocol) with photographs of the state of the apartment on the day you move in.

Current listings in Targówek — with filters by floor area, number of rooms and sub-area — can be found in the allproperty apartment catalogue. If you are looking for an apartment as a tenant, take a look at the section for tenants, while owners of apartments for rent will find practical information on the page for owners.

Targówek is changing fast — new metro stations, the revitalisation of Park Bródnowski and further residential developments mean that the offering and rental prices can differ from week to week, especially right by the Bródno and Kondratowicza stations.
