Powiśle is one of the most climatic districts of Warsaw. It is located right at the Vistula, has rich green areas and a unique atmosphere. It borders Ujazdów from the south, Stare Miasto from the north, Śródmieście Północne and Śródmieście Południowe from the west and the Vistula river from the east. Originally, the district was a port settlement. The old Powiśle is now long gone. In its small part, there still remains the unique architecture from the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century as well as the specific climate, which is not present in the younger districts of Warsaw. This is the main reason for a lot of people deciding to buy or lease an apartment in this district. Powiśle has become an inspiring place so you can discover it anew every day.

Powiśle is dominated by buildings erected in 2007 and on and its main type of real property are apartments. The district is very diversified in terms of architecture. Walking around the streets of Powiśle, you can track the process of urban and architectural transformations, where modernism and premium class design are intertwined with historicism and industrial, post-war and contemporary architecture. This is the background for a lot of modern housing estates and apartment blocks. What prevails are three- or four-room apartments with area from 70 m2 to 140 m2. You can also find apartments with more area, but they are usually formed by combining two or more smaller units. Apartments are less available than in the other districts of Warsaw as there is very high demand that is constantly on the rise.  This is facilitated by offering real property in high standard, lively surroundings, proximity of a lot of smaller fashionable restaurants and numerous cultural events that are organised nearby.

At present, those locations are becoming the perfect place to live for those who would like to appreciate the energy of the city and draw all the best from the charm of the district. Powiśle is a perfect place to live for everyone who cherishes beautiful architecture and peace and quiet, who like to be close to the city centre and for those who like night life, active recreation, sports or good food. The district is inhabited both by families with children, as there are not many busy streets and there are small parks and a river nearby.

The trend towards Powiśle and premium class real property translated into high prices of apartments. It is one of the most expensive districts in Warsaw. However, such an investment is worth its price and guarantees a high rate of return. Prices on the primary market start from PLN 16,500 per square metre. If you would like to buy an apartment in the more prestigious investments, you will have to pay even several dozen thousand per square metre. As regards the secondary market, the prices are slightly higher, but such marketed apartments are fully finished with quality materials. According to the experts from Lions Estate, real property prices in Powiśle will go up due to the unique location, popularity and climate of the district, a high number of new prestigious buildings and a very low supply of areas for future investments, which is naturally limited by the Vistula. Due to constant emergence of new investments, the rate of growth will be stable, not higher than in the other districts of Warsaw.

The great location of the district results in a lot of new buildings, marvellous in terms of their architecture, such as the Copernicus Science Centre or the building of the University of Warsaw Library. Such prestigious surroundings, combined with modern infrastructure, attracts a lot of luxurious residential investments – currently this is one of the most desired locations in the city.

Powiśle is a comfortable place to live both for couples and families with children, who will surely appreciate the educational and cultural facilities of the district. They will also like convenient communication with the other parts of the city, ensured by the Wisłostrada route, the second underground line and the PKP Powiśle.

Social life is thriving in Powiśle. This is where a one-of-its-kind project is being created, one inspired by cherished places in the world, such as Time Out MarkeT (Mercado DA Ribeira) in Lisbon. In the very heart of the district, there is the richest selection of restaurants in Warsaw: several dozen diverse culinary concepts, the best restaurants serving dishes from various parts of the world, original cafes, wine parlours, bars serving the best drinks and whiskey bars, a bio marketplace with produce from local suppliers and a special place for sports fans. All this is located under one roof of Elektrownia Powiśle, which has undergone remarkable transformation.
