Stary ImielinRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median price of €21/m², you are paying for functionality and metro access rather than architectural prestige. We’ve labeled this area THE_GRID because it’s a standard, reliable middle-market choice that lacks the gentrification heat of nearby Mokotów. It is a solid, predictable rental market, but the investment outlook is flat unless you find a fixer-upper villa with land value.
The Vibe:Stary Imielin is a pragmatic mix of 1980s apartment blocks and aging villa estates, positioned strategically between the M1 metro line and the Puławska transit corridor. The local crowd consists mostly of medical staff from the oncology center and people who prioritize a 20-minute commute to the city center over nightlife. It feels like a mature suburb that accidentally got swallowed by the city, defined by the massive Auchan on its border and the wide, windy Pileckiego street.

Locals Ask
Is the commute to the center actually manageable?
Yes, if you're within walking distance of Metro Imielin, you're looking at exactly 18 minutes to Marszałkowska.
Does the proximity to the oncology center affect rent?
It creates high demand for short-term stays, which can sometimes push the m² stats up for smaller apartments.
What is the parking situation like near the blocks?
It's a nightmare near Pileckiego and Roentgena; if the unit doesn't have a dedicated spot, you'll be circling for 15 minutes.
Is it noisy due to the Puławska street?
The western edge of Stary Imielin deals with constant tire drone, so look for units closer to the metro for actual quiet.
Why is the price range so wide at €17.5 - €25.5/m²?
The lower end is for unrenovated 'wielka płyta' flats, while the top end reflects modern apartments in gated developments near the metro.
