Apartment for rent in Włochy — a guide to the district

Renting an apartment in Włochy in spring 2025 usually means 1,800–2,600 zł for a studio (20–30 m²), 2,800–4,600 zł for two rooms (38–50 m²) and 4,200–6,000 zł for three rooms (55–70 m²), plus a czynsz administracyjny (building administration fee) of around 500–900 zł. The rate per square metre most often ranges between 65 and 100 zł/m², depending on the standard, the age of the building and the distance from the railway station. The district splits into several clearly different sub-areas — from the more densely built-up Stare and Nowe Włochy, through the business-and-residential Raków and Okęcie, to the quieter, greener Salomea and Załuski.

The key asset of Włochy is the railway — the Warszawa Włochy station puts Warszawa Centralna 10–15 minutes away, which for many tenants matters more than the absence of a tram or metro on the spot. Below is a full overview of prices, sub-areas, transport and infrastructure, useful both for tenants looking for a flat and for owners considering renting theirs out.

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

Rental prices in Włochy are lower than in Śródmieście or Mokotów, but higher than in more peripheral districts such as Wawer or Rembertów. The table below shows typical ranges from offers available on the market in spring 2025.

Type of apartment	Floor area	Rent	Roughly per m²
Studio	20–30 m²	1,800–2,600 zł	70–100 zł/m²
2 rooms	38–50 m²	2,800–4,600 zł	65–95 zł/m²
3 rooms	55–70 m²	4,200–6,000 zł	70–90 zł/m²

On top of the rent there is usually the czynsz administracyjny paid to the cooperative or the housing community (most often 500–900 zł, depending on the floor area and the standard of the building) plus utilities settled separately. The cheapest offers are usually older buildings in Stare Włochy and Raków, and the most expensive ones are new developments with a garage and air conditioning in Salomea and around Al. Krakowska. Anyone comparing rates across the whole city will find broader context in the article on rental prices in Warszawa.

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

Włochy is one of the smaller districts of Warszawa, but internally very varied — it is worth knowing its sub-areas before choosing a flat:

• Stare Włochy — the historic centre of the district around Park Kombatantów and the Warszawa Włochy station, dense development, good walking access to the railway.
• Nowe Włochy — the western part around Chrobrego and Bolesława Śmiałego streets, similar in character to Stare Włochy, close to the same station.
• Raków — the area of Łopuszańska, Krakowiaków and Instalatorów streets, mixed residential and office character, the Warszawa Rakowiec station and the WKD Raków stop.
• Okęcie — the strip between al. Krakowska, Żwirki i Wigury and Chopin Airport, with more service and office development than typical housing.
• Salomea — the south-western part along Aleje Jerozolimskie and the border with Ursus, mainly newer buildings from 2010–2020.
• Załuski and Opacz Wielka — the most peripheral, quieter estates by the border with the Michałowice commune, with weaker rail access.

For a comparison with a neighbouring district, the text on renting in Wola or on renting in Ochota, which borders Włochy on the east, may be useful.

What is the commute like — rail, buses, trams, metro?

The backbone of transport in Włochy is the railway, not the bus or the tram. Three stations/stops operate within the district:

• Warszawa Włochy — the Warszawa–Łódź line, served by SKM (lines S1, S2) and Koleje Mazowieckie trains; the ride to Warszawa Centralna usually takes 10–15 minutes.
• Warszawa Rakowiec — on the eastern edge of the district, SKM S2 and S3 plus Koleje Mazowieckie, convenient for Raków and Okęcie.
• WKD Warszawa Raków — a stop of the Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa under the Łopuszańska viaduct, towards the centre as well as Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Milanówek and Podkowa Leśna; WKD lists its rebuilding (new, longer platforms and a crossing over the tracks) in its development plans, although in spring 2025 the investment was still at the preparation stage.

There are no trams within Włochy itself — the nearest ones run at the P+R Połczyńska loop (lines 10, 11, 26) on the Wola and Bemowo side, and you also need a bus to reach the metro: the nearest stations are Racławicka, Wierzbno and Wilanowska on the M1 line. The main lines within the district remain buses 127, 129, 178, 189, 191 and 194, plus the night lines N01 and N85.

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

Włochy is one of the green districts of Warszawa for its size. The largest green area is the park with the Cietrzewia ponds (over 8 ha), and right by the railway station lies the historic Park Kombatantów, founded back in the 18th century by Count Tadeusz Mostowski and modernised at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a playground in its central part. The third popular spot is the park with the Koziorożca pond. The district has public primary schools and kindergartens as well as the private Wyższa Szkoła Techniczno-Handlowa im. H. Chodkowskiej for secondary-school graduates.

Everyday shopping is done in chain grocery stores scattered along al. Krakowska, Popularna and Łopuszańska, while larger shopping centres are available in the neighbouring districts — in Ochota and Ursus. The proximity of Chopin Airport in Okęcie is a practical plus for part of Włochy (commuting to work in logistics companies and office buildings around Żwirki i Wigury), but in the areas closest to the runway you have to reckon with more aircraft noise — worth checking in person before signing a rental agreement for a specific address.

Who is the Włochy district for?

Włochy works above all for people who care about a fast rail commute to the centre while keeping calmer, greener surroundings than in Śródmieście. It is a good option for:

• employees of companies in the office buildings on Al. Krakowska, Żwirki i Wigury and around the airport,
• families looking for a flat close to a park and a school, but at a reasonable price,
• people commuting on the WKD towards Grodzisk Mazowiecki or Podkowa Leśna,
• tenants who accept the lack of a tram and metro on the spot in exchange for lower rent than in neighbouring Ochota.

It will be less suitable for those who care about nightlife or a dense network of cafés — in that respect neighbouring Ochota or Wola are closer to it.

How to look for an apartment to rent in Włochy?

When choosing a specific flat, it is worth first checking the walking distance to the Warszawa Włochy or Warszawa Rakowiec station — a difference of a few hundred metres genuinely affects the daily commute time. The second important point is checking the approach path of aircraft to Chopin Airport if the flat lies closer to Okęcie. Before signing, it is also worth getting familiar with the rules of the rental agreement, the amount and return of the deposit and the full set of documents required when renting. Tenants who prefer not to browse listings on their own can use support with renting an apartment — from selecting offers in a specific sub-area to checking the agreement before signing.
