Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?

The housing was fantastic. Nice houses with good yards. Our house was across from a walking path along one of the rivers that flowed into the center of the city. We were walking distance to a little village with bakeries, fruit stands, etc. I was surprised at the amount of storage in the house. We really loved it. - Nov 2016


Most folks in the Consulate community live within easy commuting distance, 10-15 minutes by car, tram, or walking. - Mar 2014


Depends. Some live within a 10-minute walking distance. Some live farther out: 15-20 minutes drive or within 30 minutes of public transportation. Both apartments and houses. - Apr 2013


All the housing is quite close to the Consulate, or within a short commute. Families with children live in houses, while couples and singles tend to live in apartments. - Sep 2011


Families are in detached houses and couples are in apartments or townhouses. Housing varies on size and quality of finish, but most are pretty nice. Most houses are about 4 miles outside the downtown and consulate area (a 15-20 minute drive or 25-30 minutes on public transportation). - Aug 2011
