Apartment for rent in Ursus — a guide to the district

Ursus is the western district of Warszawa that has for years attracted tenants looking for lower rents than in the centre, while still having a sensible rail commute. The median rent for an apartment in Ursus currently stands (as of June 2025) at about 3,000 PLN per month, and the rate per square metre averages 70–77 PLN/m². A studio usually costs 2,400–3,100 PLN, a 2-room apartment about 3,000–3,200 PLN, and a 3-room one 3,700–3,900 PLN — on top of which comes a czynsz administracyjny (building maintenance fee) of the order of 600–950 PLN per month. That is clearly below the average for the whole of Warszawa, where the median asking rent exceeds 4,000 PLN.

The district splits into several distinctly different micro-locations — Niedźwiadek, Czechowice, Skorosze, Szamoty and Gołąbki — each with a different character of development and different prices. Ursus has neither a metro nor a tram, but it is served by rail (the Warszawa Ursus and Warszawa Ursus Niedźwiadek stations) and by the Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa, which for many tenants is the main argument for choosing this district. Below, in detail: what renting really costs, where to look for an apartment and who Ursus suits best.

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

Rental prices in Ursus depend above all on the number of rooms and on the micro-location. Data from June 2025 shows a clear price structure depending on floor area — the larger the apartment, the lower the rate per metre, though the higher the total rent.

Number of rooms	Median rent	Typical size	Rate per m²
1 room	approx. 2,470–3,100 PLN	30 m²	approx. 90 PLN/m²
2 rooms	approx. 3,000 PLN	42 m²	approx. 74 PLN/m²
3 rooms	approx. 3,800 PLN	57 m²	approx. 71 PLN/m²
4 rooms	approx. 4,650 PLN	80 m²	approx. 69 PLN/m²

To the rates given you have to add the czynsz administracyjny — the median in listings is about 700–780 PLN per month — plus utility charges, estimated at around 200 PLN on average. The deposit in most offers equals one month’s rent, and the median comes to about 3,850 PLN. More than half of the listings in Ursus are offers with no commission for the tenant, which sets this district apart from the more sought-after inner-city locations.

What are the estates and micro-locations in Ursus?

Ursus is not homogeneous — the choice of a particular estate affects both the price and the character of the surroundings. Niedźwiadek is currently the largest and fastest-developing estate in the district, with a residential complex built in the 1970s and intensively modernised infrastructure — it hosts, among other things, the Centrum Lokalne Niedźwiadek with the refurbished Hasanka playground (zip line, maze, skatepark) and the neighbouring Park Hassów. The estate has its own railway station, Warszawa Ursus Niedźwiadek.

Czechowice is the older and quieter part of the district, valued for its intimate atmosphere and its proximity to Park Czechowicki — the largest park in Ursus, with a pond, an amphitheatre and a playground, where local concerts are held in summer. Skorosze, in turn, is the area of the most intensive new developer construction (investments such as Fabrica Ursus or Stacja Nowy Ursus), lying closest to the centre — about 9 km from Śródmieście — which is why this is where people looking for a new apartment at a reasonable price most often end up. Szamoty and Gołąbki round out the district with a mixture of older and newer buildings, with generally lower rents than in Skorosze.

How do you get to Ursus and from Ursus to the centre?

The key difference compared with the inner districts: Ursus has neither a metro station nor a tram line. The backbone of transport is the railway — the Warszawa Ursus station (lines R1, S1, RE1) and the recently renovated Warszawa Ursus Północny station, where both platforms are now fully accessible to passengers. In addition, part of the western edge of the district is served by the Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa with the WKD Opacz station.

Local transport relies on buses — lines 187, 191, 207, 220, 401, 517 and the night lines N35 and N85 connect Ursus with, among others, the centre, Włochy, Bemowo and Pruszków. The recently launched line 220 connection between the Nowe Bemowo loop and the P+R by al. Krakowska runs through Skorosze and allows a transfer to the WKD at the Opacz stop.

What infrastructure awaits residents of Ursus?

In terms of everyday needs — schools, kindergartens, shops — the district is well equipped, though unevenly depending on the estate. In Niedźwiadek alone there are, among others, a primary school, a lower secondary school, four kindergartens, a nursery and a district clinic with a pharmacy. Everyday shopping is covered by local retail pavilions and larger shopping centres, including CH Factory Ursus and CH Skorosze.

As for green areas, the situation is more varied. According to a report commissioned by the Warszawa city hall in 2021, Ursus has about 2.88 m² of managed greenery per resident — one of the lower figures in the city against the national standard of 10 m² per resident, in force since the 2023 amendment to the spatial planning act for cities above 100,000 inhabitants. Despite this, the district has several large, well-arranged parks: the aforementioned Park Czechowicki, Park Hassów by Niedźwiadek, the smaller Park Achera on ul. Dzieci Warszawy and Ekopark on ul. Czerwona Droga — the first ecological park in Warszawa, opened in 2019 over an area of about 5 ha, with educational trails and retention basins. The shortage of greenery concerns above all the southern part of Skorosze, where new developer construction is growing faster than the recreational infrastructure.

Who is renting an apartment in Ursus for?

Ursus is a sensible choice for families with children looking for a lower rent than in Śródmieście or Mokotów, while keeping access to schools, kindergartens and parks — especially on the Niedźwiadek and Czechowice estates. It also works well for people commuting to work in the west of Warszawa, to Pruszków, or using the railway regularly, for whom the Warszawa Ursus and Warszawa Ursus Niedźwiadek stations are a real alternative to the metro.

Ursus will be a less natural choice for people who care about direct access to the metro or nightlife in the strict centre — getting to Ursus requires bus transfers or a train ride outside the peak-hour timetable. Those who value new construction and a shorter commute to the centre should look first of all in Skorosze, where most of the new developer investments are concentrated.

How do you look for an apartment to rent in Ursus?

When choosing a particular offer it is worth starting by comparing several apartments of the same size and micro-location — the price differences between Niedźwiadek and Skorosze can be significant. The allproperty catalogue of apartments for rent lets you filter listings by district, number of rooms and budget, which makes it easier to compare real rates instead of estimates from general market summaries.

Before you sign a contract, it is worth checking which documents are normally required when renting and how the deposit works — more in the article documents for renting an apartment.
