Wawer
The city's green edge — houses, forests and a car.
What it's like
Wawer is a patchwork of villages absorbed by the city: pine forests, single-family houses, and pockets of new development. It is the classic choice for families who want a garden inside the city limits.

Prices — in words
Gentler than the city average
Houses and plots for less than anywhere comparable inside the city limits, though quality varies enormously street by street. Bargains and overpriced listings sit side by side.
In every district we will find a home for you. These profiles are deliberately general — they are here to give you orientation in the city, not a valuation. Concrete options and current prices always come from a conversation.
