Rent in Szczecin
Szczecin is the largest city in north-west Poland, spread along the Oder river and Lake Dąbie just a few kilometres from the German border and about two hours from Berlin. It is unusually green and spacious for its size, with wide boulevards, big parks and a relaxed pace, and rents that sit well below Warsaw, Kraków or the Tricity. For relocators it offers a real-city rental market — a historic centre, leafy residential districts and cheaper right-bank neighbourhoods — at prices that stretch a budget further than almost any other major Polish city.
Szczecin's rental market is moderate-pressure rather than overheated: demand comes from a large student population across three universities, port and shipyard employees, and a growing pool of cross-border and remote workers, but supply is broader and turnover slower than in Poland's biggest metros. The citywide median asking rent for a 2-room flat sits around 3300 PLN/month in 2025, with a clear gradient from the prestige centre and old town down to the cheaper right-bank districts. Rents have risen steadily since 2022 in line with the national trend, though the city remains one of the best-value major rental markets in Poland.
The median asking rent for a 2-room flat in Szczecin, Poland is 2 574 zł per month as of 2026-08-03 (PolandRent, n=547); the p25–p75 fair range is 2 350 zł–2 850 zł, ranking Szczecin #7 of 49 covered Polish cities.
