How much is rent in Warsaw?

Rent in Warsaw varies significantly, but expect to pay between 3,000 PLN and 6,000 PLN per month for a decent apartment. This is indeed about 41% higher than the national average for Poland. For instance, a one-bedroom in the city center typically runs 3,500-5,000 PLN, while outside the center, you might find something for 2,800-4,000 PLN. For a larger, two-bedroom apartment, especially in popular districts like Mokotów or Śródmieście, prices can easily jump to 5,000-8,000 PLN. Keep in mind that utilities (electricity, gas, internet) are usually extra, adding another 400-800 PLN to your monthly budget. Housing is your biggest expense in Warsaw, and it’s important to budget for it. If you're earning the average Polish salary of around 7,500 PLN gross, a 4,000 PLN rent payment takes a substantial chunk of your income. Consider looking slightly outside the immediate city center for better value without sacrificing too much commute time.
