Luxury with access to greenery, how houses on the outskirts dethroned apartments in the Center

Due to the change of work model to remote and the need for a larger living space, access to greenery, own garden or a quieter neighborhood, more and more people decide to move outside of Warsaw.

The surrounding towns and locations are becoming more and more popular, offering their residents peace, tranquility and privacy by offering an excellent connection with the city center.

Location matters

Milanówek, Łomianki, Magdalenka, Bielawa, Konstancin-Jeziorna – these are just a few of the locations near Warsaw that gained enormous popularity during the pandemic. This was due to several factors – many people forced by the situation switched to remote work, discovering that it is as efficient as working in an office. We started to spend much more time in our apartments and houses. In many cases, however, the area turned out to not meet the new needs. There was a need to enlarge the sphere of life – to have your own terrace or garden; a place separated from the public space, giving the possibility of communing with nature.

Living in the city? Maybe next time…

The new trend concerns not only people looking for a place to buy. People who had their own apartments in the center were also willing to move from the city to the outskirts. This significantly contributed to the increased interest in the rental of suburban real estate. Leased mostly by foreigners, they stood empty when the borders were closed. The gap in the market square was filled by Poles who decided to move from the city to a more peaceful and green area.

The most modern amenities and comfort of living

The advantage of a house in a suburban neighborhood is not only the location – the biggest advantage of such properties is the ability to adapt them to your own needs. More space gives more possibilities. In a spacious residence, we can design a study, a library, a home cinema, a gym with an exercise room and even a swimming pool. The garden also leaves room for imagination. A perfect example of using the space offered by the house is the residence in Komorów.

Case study – house in Radzymin

A perfect example of the popularity of locations near Warsaw is the transaction recently carried out by one of Lions Estate’s agents – Angelika Jeleń – for the sale of a house in Radzymin.

The offered property was a beautiful, detached house in the type of a modern barn, finished to the highest standard by the owner, who is an architect by profession. The property was situated on a large green plot in the vicinity of a forest. The house was located north of Warsaw, in the Radzymin commune. Despite the location, which is unusual for the premium real estate market in Warsaw, there was no shortage of buyers – says Angelika Jeleń, Premium Property Advisor at Lions Estate

It took us only a few days to find a new owner. What made the interest in the offer so high and the house sold so quickly? First of all, an absolutely unique style of finish resulting from the owner’s passion for interior design, excellent and fast communication with the center of Warsaw and an attractive price compared to other properties located in the capital. The well-kept plot and amenities, such as a swimming pool, were also important.

The most popular luxury near Warsaw

One of the locations that has always enjoyed the interest of people looking for peace with good access to Warsaw was Konstancin-Jeziorna and its surroundings. A health resort town famous for its prestigious housing estates, stylish villas and the surroundings of international educational institutions, it offers, above all, peace, tranquility, spacious gardens and privacy. It is not without reason that Konstancin is eagerly chosen by foreigners and wealthy Poles. The most popular estate in Konstancin-Jeziorna is Osiedle Konstancja – an exclusive complex of single-family and semi-detached houses, situated on vast plots of land.

Locations that are gaining on popularity

A new area that is gaining popularity among people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city is Łomianki – a town bordering Białołęka and Bielany. The inhabitants of Łomianki value, above all, the green, peaceful neighborhood. An undoubted advantage is the proximity of the Kampinos National Park, while being close to the capital. No wonder that more and more luxury homes and mansions are being built in the area, finished to the highest standard, including the most modern amenities. The most popular locations in the area are Łomianki Dolne, Osiedle Dąbrowa Leśna and the vicinity of Kiełpin. Observing the growing interest in this area among clients looking for luxury real estate, Lions Estate decided to expand its operations to the area of Łomianki and the surrounding area.

Magdalenka – live in the vicinity of the forest

The village near Warsaw, located in the Lesznowola commune, is mostly located in a pine forest, ensuring maximum privacy for its residents. In its present form, Magdalenka was established in the early 1930s as a result of the actions of the then owner of the property, Piotr Dmowski, who decided to regularly plot his property in order to create a model housing estate. Today, most of the old part of Magdalenka is built mainly with new or renovated houses of a very high standard.

Milanówek – Town – Garden

The city, located approximately 30 kilometers from Warsaw, is surrounded by vast green areas and forests. On the area of 1,352 hectares, which is occupied by the city, there are as many as 267 natural monuments. In addition to the impressive trees, there are 3 erratic boulders and a sundial, which is a collection of 13 erratic boulders. Milanówek is also history – most of the pre-war area of Milanówek is entered in the national register of monuments as an urban and landscape complex – it consists of about 400 villas and buildings of historical importance.

The suburban real estate offers ample opportunities. One of the newest houses in the Lions Estate offer – the residence located in Milanówek has been designed to ensure the highest quality of life for future residents.
