Rooms and apartments in Kielce
Finding housing in the town centre requires some preparations. The private sector landlords usually ask for a deposit which is typically the equivalent of one or two months’ rent. You can find a cheap and furnished room or a flat, conveniently located and fully equipped, which will offer more privacy and more possibilities than student dormitories.
Accommodation options most frequently picked by students:
- Shared accommodation is one of the common styles of living among students. It is most suitable for those who have already made friends in Poland and would like to share a flat together. Prices vary from 300 – 700 PLN/month per room depending on the location and standard.
- Students who prefer to live on their own can go for a flat. The prices vary from 750 – 1000 PLN/month per one bedroom apartment. A two bedroom apartment costs 1000 – 1500 PLN per month. A deposit of approximately one month’s rent is required.
