Author: Tacjana MasiukiewiczDistricts~7 min read
Which district of Gdańsk is best for buying an apartment? It depends on your budget, job and lifestyle – but also on where new homes are actually being built. Our catalogue currently lists 3 developments in 3 districts of Gdańsk: Młyniska, Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe and Siedlce. We describe them in detail using TM Invest offer data (as of 07.10.2026) and, for comparison, briefly cover other popular parts of the city where we currently have no listings.

How is Gdańsk divided?
Since 1992 Gdańsk has been divided into districts that act as auxiliary units of the city. There were 30 at first; after several changes there are now 35. Some were created by splitting larger units – Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe, for example, was carved out of the former Chełm district. In everyday speech residents also use the names of neighbourhoods and former villages, such as Młode Miasto, Ujeścisko or Jasień, so when searching for an apartment look at the specific street, not only the district name.
Gdańsk is part of the Tricity (Trójmiasto) – together with Sopot and Gdynia it lies on the Bay of Gdańsk. The main transport axis is the SKM suburban rail linking Gdańsk Śródmieście with Sopot and Gdynia, while the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway (PKM) runs from Wrzeszcz via the airport towards Gdynia. Within Gdańsk the tram network plays an important role.

Młyniska – close to the centre, former shipyard land
Młyniska lies on the western bank of the Martwa Wisła, between Śródmieście and Letnica. It is a mixed industrial and residential district that includes Młode Miasto, Składy and the Zielony Trójkąt estate; it is home to shipyards and the European Solidarity Centre. Few people live here yet, but the former shipyard land is gradually turning into a new part of the city. The district has the Gdańsk Stocznia SKM stop and tram connections.
Our offer here includes 416 units in the completed Osiedle Stoczniova at 6 Twarda Street – mostly under 35 m², median 20,050 PLN/m². According to the developer, nearby are parks (Steffensów, Akademicki, Daniela Gralatha), the beach in Brzeźno, the Baltic Opera and shopping centres. Units are sold in stan deweloperski (developer standard), so they need finishing before you move in.
Who it suits: buy-to-let investors, singles and couples who want to live near the centre and the railway. Less so families looking for a large floor area.
Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe – new estates for families
Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe is one of the youngest districts, separated from Chełm, in the south of the city. It covers Orunia Górna, Maćkowy, Borkowo and estates built in recent years; to the west it borders the Kolbudy and Pruszcz Gdański municipalities, and to the south it is bounded by the Southern Bypass (Obwodnica Południowa). A tram line with the Łostowice-Świętokrzyska terminus connects it with the centre. It attracts families because a similar budget buys more square metres than closer to the centre.
Our offer here is Panorama on Czerska Street: 104 apartments with 2–4 rooms of 30.7–66.9 m², median 18,100 PLN/m², and from 13,440 PLN/m² for the largest units. The developer plans an underground car park, a gated estate and woodland nearby; completion is scheduled for Q2 2028.
Who it suits: families who need 3–4 rooms and can wait for the keys, and drivers – the district borders the Southern Bypass.
Siedlce – urban fabric along Kartuska Street
Siedlce lies west of Śródmieście along Kartuska Street, one of the longest streets in Gdańsk. The buildings are mixed: a few pre-war structures, socialist-realist blocks from the 1950s and prefabricated blocks near the tram terminus. Trams have run here since the 19th century, and today they link the district with the centre and Wrzeszcz. It is a dense urban area with full services.
In the completed Osiedle Scarpa at 125 Kartuska Street we have the last 3 apartments (41.4–62.1 m², from 731,035 PLN). According to the developer, the tram stop is about 150 m from the building.
Who it suits: people who want to live in the city, close to the centre and trams, and prefer a completed building.
