Further information on Polish flats and apartments in Poland:
Polish flats and apartments are plentiful within many Polish cities and towns as most people live in this type of accommodation, and are used to this style of living. Blocks of flats may be modern or older stock built during the post-war communist era but, as much of Poland was destroyed during the second world war it's only those towns and cities that escaped mass destruction like Krakow for example, which still have any sizeable stock of older apartment buildings.
Post war rebuilding in Poland threw up many drab, grey looking blocks for the working-classes which may not always appeal but as in most cases this will be reflected in the Polish property price and of course, its location. There is still a lot of social housing and housing type associations, where you may own your own flat but have to pay a monthly community charge for maintenance, repairs and upkeep of communal areas, and even for the provision of energy supplies like hot water, in some older blocks.
Within many of the major cities like Poland's capital Warsaw you'll find many more modern apartments within all price ranges and degrees of finish, with all the 'mod-cons', and even gated developments for added security. There are many new developments all over Warsaw as it expands and it just depends on what you are looking for and your budget. (over 16,000 apartments were under construction in Warsaw at the end of 2004).
You might want a city centre flat in somewhere like Warsaw and be close to all the facilities on offer or soak up the old architechture in a historical place like Krakow, or maybe an apartment near a popular ski resort like Zakopane in the south. If you want a central location in a place like Krakow it will most likely be in an older renovated block or 'kamienica'.
