# Apartment prices in Krakow (new-build, primary market)

> mScanner › Apartment prices › Krakow

In Krakow the price of a flat depends heavily on whether you are looking at the centre, the areas along the Vistula, the academic and office districts, or the quieter estates further from the core. In mScanner you can check a specific address: prices nearby, commutes, transport, greenery, noise, services and how well the location fits your criteria.

## Key facts

- Compare areas such as Stare Miasto, Kleparz, Kazimierz, Stradom, Grzegórzki and Wesoła.
- A price should be assessed together with the area report and the location match.
- When choosing a flat in Krakow, check the trams, the SKA commuter rail, parking, noise, flood risk and whether the address fits your daily routes.

## How to read asking prices for flats in Krakow

A city-wide price is only a starting point — in Krakow the real level depends on the district, the street and the standard of the specific building.

When comparing, it is worth looking at specific areas, including Stare Miasto, Kleparz, Kazimierz, Stradom, Grzegórzki, Wesoła, Podgórze, Zabłocie, Dębniki and Ruczaj. The city name alone is not enough, because the gaps between addresses can be wider than between districts.

## A developer's asking price is only the start

A primary-market asking price shows what developers want for new flats. It does not yet tell you what you will pay after negotiation, or how it compares with the secondary market and the real transaction prices in that area.

When assessing an offer, check:

- access to trams and the SKA agglomeration railway (towards Wieliczka and Balice airport, among others)
- parking in the centre and in districts close to the Old Town
- noise along the main arteries, and in the western districts also near Balice airport
- a location by the Vistula, the Wilga or lower-lying ground
- the zoning plan and any development on the neighbouring plot

## What you can check in mScanner for a flat in Krakow

You can start from a specific address or location. mScanner helps gather in one place the things you would normally have to check separately.

- prices of flats nearby and the price map
- the commute to work, school, the centre or other places that matter to you
- access to public transport, services and greenery
- noise, the local zoning plan (MPZP) and local risks
- a side-by-side comparison of several saved flats

## Krakow and the surrounding area

Krakow is worth comparing with Wieliczka, Skawina, Zabierzów, Zielonki, Niepołomice and Mogilany. Outside the city it is easier to find more space, but you have to check the rail, the traffic and the daily cost of commuting.

## From a city average to a specific flat

The median describes the whole market — a real decision depends on the specific address. In mScanner you open the price map for Krakow, check prices in your chosen area and the surroundings of a given address, then compare the flats you care about side by side.

Pick a flat or address, check prices nearby, compare commutes and surroundings, and finally line up several flats in one view.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does mScanner show apartment prices in Krakow?

Yes. In mScanner you can check the price map and a specific address. The analysis makes most sense for a flat in the area you are actually considering, not just the city-wide average.

### Are these primary- or secondary-market prices in Krakow?

The median on this page comes from the primary market — asking prices for new flats from developers, from the open data at dane.gov.pl. Actual transaction prices (mostly the secondary market) are on a separate transaction-prices page sourced from the land registry (RCN).

### How much does a square metre of a new flat cost in Krakow?

The median asking price per square metre (m²) for a flat in Krakow is 15,004 PLN/m² — data from the last 12 months (through July 2026). It is the median of developer offers on the primary market, so the price per m² of a specific flat depends on the district, floor and standard.

### Can I see a chart of apartment prices in Krakow?

Yes. This page has a histogram of the price-per-m² distribution — the share of offers in successive PLN/m² bands, with the median marked. In mScanner you also see prices on the map and in the report for a specific address in Krakow.

### What drives apartment prices in Krakow?

Distance to the centre, access to a tram or the SKA, the building standard, parking, proximity to universities and offices, and local risks such as noise or riverside ground all matter a lot.

### Is it better to buy in Krakow or just outside it?

It depends on your route to work and school. Wieliczka, Skawina or Zielonki can buy more space, but you have to count the daily commute very concretely.

### What should I check for a flat in the centre of Krakow?

Beyond the price, check parking, noise, the building condition, the tourist traffic nearby and whether the flat actually works for daily life rather than just looking good in the listing.

### Is mScanner a property listings portal?

No. mScanner helps you check and compare the flats you are considering, before you decide to buy or rent.

## Data source

The figures on this page come from the open public data at dane.gov.pl — developer price lists on the primary market (new flats). The window covers 09.2025-07.2026 and holds 31,319 developer offers.

An asking price is the figure from a developer's price list; the amounts recorded in notarial deeds are collected by the RCN register and shown on the transaction-price pages. The median describes a whole area and accounts for neither the floor, nor the finish standard, nor the condition of the building. Compiled by mScanner (AWG LABS sp. z o.o.).
