Flat to Let in Wroclaw 2026 – Districts, Floor Areas, Prices

The best place to look for a flat to let in Wroclaw is where three things meet: close to a university or the centre, a good tram connection and a sensible price per metre. According to TM Invest offer data (as at 27.09.2026), the lowest median prices per m² on the primary market are in Fabryczna and Psie Pole, and the highest in the City Centre and the Old Town. Below we compare five districts, calculate estimated gross yield at the rental rates from the NBP survey and suggest which floor area to choose.

Key facts

• 132,4 thousand people studied in Wroclaw (academic year 2025/26, data of the Statistical Office in Wroclaw) – this is steady demand for small flats.
• The average rental rate in the group of six large cities that the NBP (National Bank of Poland) counts Wroclaw in was, in the first quarter of 2026, 67,5 PLN/m² a month (excluding service charges and utilities).
• The median price of a studio in our offer in Wroclaw is 595 638 PLN (32,4 m²), and of a 2-room flat – 662 405 PLN (40,8 m²).
• The estimated gross yield of a studio in our calculations ranges from about 4,3% (Old Town) to about 6% (Fabryczna) – before tax, vacancies and the cost of finishing.
• Revenue from private letting is taxed at a flat rate of 8,5% up to 100 thousand PLN a year and 12,5% on the excess.

Who rents flats in Wroclaw? Students, employees, young couples

Wroclaw is one of the largest academic centres in Poland. According to the Statistical Office in Wroclaw, in the academic year 2025/26 there were 132,4 thousand students here, that is 93,5% of all students in the Lower Silesia voivodeship. The largest universities are the University of Wroclaw (21,4 thousand students) and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (20,5 thousand). In the whole voivodeship 140,7 thousand people studied, 12,6% more than a year earlier, including 8,7 thousand foreigners.

Letting to students in Wroclaw is, however, only part of the market. The second group is made up of employees of offices, business services centres and technology companies, concentrated mainly in the centre and its surroundings, and also people who have moved to the city for work and do not want to buy a flat straight away. This group usually signs longer agreements and more often chooses 2-room flats. Students pay less per person, but expect proximity to the campus and a fast tram, and agreements often end together with the academic year.

Transport matters a great deal in Wroclaw, because the basis of public transport is the tram network. When choosing a flat to let, check how many minutes on foot it is to the nearest tram stop and how long the journey takes to Grunwaldzki Square, the Market Square or the main station. A tenant rarely asks about the view from the window, but almost always asks about the commute.

The best districts to let in Wroclaw – a comparison

Wroclaw is divided into five former administrative districts. Each has a different tenant profile and a different level of prices. You will find detailed descriptions of the estates in the guide best districts of Wroclaw to live in, and here we look at them through an investor's eyes.

• Old Town – the strict centre, the main building of the University of Wroclaw, proximity to the Market Square and the station. The easiest place to find a tenant, but purchase prices are high, so yield is sometimes lower. Flats in the Old Town.
• City Centre (Śródmieście) – the area around Grunwaldzki Square with the campuses of the University of Science and Technology and the University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Nadodrze and new developments by the Oder. A natural choice for students. Flats in the City Centre.
• Krzyki – the largest district with the widest offer, the University of Economics, many new estates and good connections with the centre. Universal for letting to students and employees. See the guide to Krzyki and flats in Krzyki.
• Fabryczna – the western part of the city, the lowest median price per m² in our offer and many 2-room flats. Good for long-term letting to employees and couples. More in the guide to Fabryczna and the offer in Fabryczna.
• Psie Pole – the north-east, quieter estates, larger floor areas at a similar price. More for families and long-term letting than for students. Flats in Psie Pole.

District	Available flats	Median PLN/m²	Studios: number / median price	2 rooms: number / median price
Fabryczna	347	13 394 PLN	6 / 403 470 PLN	156 / 511 792 PLN
Psie Pole	271	14 308 PLN	29 / 624 103 PLN	60 / 680 500 PLN
Krzyki	756	16 087 PLN	61 / 525 512 PLN	287 / 647 800 PLN
Old Town	535	17 782 PLN	119 / 596 606 PLN	168 / 806 664 PLN
City Centre	205	18 300 PLN	50 / 621 810 PLN	67 / 726 336 PLN
Wroclaw total	2 114	15 736 PLN	265 / 595 638 PLN	738 / 662 405 PLN

An interesting observation from the table: the median price of a 2-room flat in Fabryczna (511 792 PLN) is lower than the median studio in Krzyki (525 512 PLN) or in the Old Town. If you are not targeting students from a specific university, for a similar budget you can buy an extra room. You will find the full list of prices in the districts in the article flat prices Wroclaw 2026.

How much will you earn from letting? Estimated gross yield by district

For the calculations we use the rate from the NBP survey (Real Estate Market Database). In the first quarter of 2026 the average rental rate in the group of six large cities (Gdansk, Gdynia, Krakow, Lodz, Poznan and Wroclaw) was 67,5 PLN/m² a month – 3,3% less than a quarter earlier and 12,0% more than a year earlier. The rate does not include service charges and utilities, which the tenant usually pays. The NBP does not give a separate figure for Wroclaw in the text of the report, so we take the same rate for every district. In practice in the centre and near campuses rates can be higher, and on the outskirts lower – treat the table as a starting point, not a forecast.

District	Median PLN/m²	Typical studio (floor area / price)	Estimated rent	Gross yield
Fabryczna	13 394 PLN	29,9 m² / 403 470 PLN	about 2 020 PLN	about 6,0%
Psie Pole	14 308 PLN	38,0 m² / 624 103 PLN	about 2 565 PLN	about 4,9%
Krzyki	16 087 PLN	30,4 m² / 525 512 PLN	about 2 050 PLN	about 4,7%
City Centre	18 300 PLN	35,9 m² / 621 810 PLN	about 2 425 PLN	about 4,7%
Old Town	17 782 PLN	32,0 m² / 596 606 PLN	about 2 160 PLN	about 4,3%

For comparison: the NBP estimates the capitalisation rate for the group of six cities in the first quarter of 2026 at 6,24%. Our results are lower because the NBP calculates on average transaction prices from the primary and secondary markets, and we on the asking prices of new flats. In the NBP report the average transaction price on the primary market in Wroclaw in the first quarter of 2026 was 13 903 PLN/m², and on the secondary market 12 632 PLN/m². How to calculate the return step by step we show in the article rental yield of a flat.

Studio to let in Wroclaw or 2 rooms?

A studio to let in Wroclaw is the lowest entry threshold: in our offer there are 265 studios, the cheapest costs 335 315 PLN, and the median floor area is 32,4 m². There are almost three times as many 2-room flats (738), and their median is 40,8 m². At a constant rate per metre, 2 rooms give higher rent, and in some districts the price per m² is lower in them than in studios – so gross yield can be similar or higher.

District	2 rooms: floor area / price	Estimated rent	Gross yield, 2 rooms	Gross yield, studio
Fabryczna	37,4 m² / 511 792 PLN	about 2 525 PLN	about 5,9%	about 6,0%
Psie Pole	44,4 m² / 680 500 PLN	about 3 000 PLN	about 5,3%	about 4,9%
Krzyki	39,9 m² / 647 800 PLN	about 2 695 PLN	about 5,0%	about 4,7%
City Centre	38,5 m² / 726 336 PLN	about 2 600 PLN	about 4,3%	about 4,7%
Old Town	42,4 m² / 806 664 PLN	about 2 860 PLN	about 4,3%	about 4,3%

In practice small flats usually have a higher rate per metre than larger ones, which shifts the result in favour of the studio. On the other hand, 2 rooms can be let to a couple or two students, which reduces the risk of a long vacancy. You will find a detailed comparison in the article studio or 2 rooms to let, and tips on how to fit everything into 25–35 m² in the guide how to furnish a studio flat.

Example: a studio in Krzyki – from price to net profit

The gross yield in the table does not include the costs you must incur before the first rent. Let us calculate the median studio in Krzyki: 30,4 m² for 525 512 PLN, purchase for cash. The costs of finishing and furnishing are our assumptions – we discuss indicative finishing ranges in Wroclaw in the article how much flat finishing costs.

Item	Amount
Price of the flat (median studio, Krzyki)	525 512 PLN
Finishing – we assume 2 000 PLN/m²	60 800 PLN
Furniture and appliances – we assume	25 000 PLN
Notary and court fees – we assume	4 000 PLN
Total cost of the investment	615 312 PLN
Rent: 30,4 m² × 67,5 PLN × 11 months (1 month of vacancy)	22 572 PLN
Flat tax 8,5% on revenue	−1 919 PLN
Reserve for minor repairs and property tax – we assume	−1 500 PLN
Net annual profit	19 153 PLN
Net rate of return	about 3,1%

From 4,7% gross it became about 3,1% net – without allowing for any rise in the flat's value. The same calculation with a loan looks quite different: the NBP estimates that with 80% loan financing, an investment in a flat to let in the group of six cities gave a negative return on capital in the first quarter of 2026 (−5,3%). More on this in the article buy-to-let flat on a mortgage. We explain the rules of settling the flat tax in the text tax on flat rental.

Where to buy a flat to let in Wroclaw – what to look at besides price

• Completion date. A flat under construction is often cheaper, but you will start collecting rent only after handover and finishing. In our offer in Wroclaw 428 flats are in developments already completed, for example Lokum Porto buildings E, F and H in the Old Town.
• Layout. For letting to students, 2 rooms with separate entrances work better than walk-through ones; in a studio what counts is a kitchenette with a window or good ventilation and space for a washing machine.
• Commute. A tram stop within a few minutes' walk and a direct journey to the campus or the centre.
• Fixed costs. High payments to the owners' association (for example with many amenities) reduce the amount the tenant will accept as rent for you.
• Competition. Large new estates delivered at the same time mean many similar rental offers at once – be prepared to negotiate the rent in the first months.

Examples of developments with a low entry threshold in our offer: Aleja Platanowa 2 in Fabryczna (prices from 335 315 PLN, completion from the fourth quarter of 2028), Apartamenty Krakowska 6 in Krzyki (from 439 247 PLN, completion in the first quarter of 2027) and Atrium – Nowy Szczepin in the Old Town (from 435 000 PLN, completion in the fourth quarter of 2027). As at 27.09.2026 – prices and availability change.
