Purchasing an apartment in Tarnow and relocating

I am in the process odf selling my house in Wisconsin. i want to relocate permanently to Poland, because i was born in Szczecin, Poland. i heard that Tarnow would be a nice city. Can someone tel me what the price would be to purchase a nice apartment or duplex.

i believe i can find something for maybe 120,000 american dollars. Would love to hear from people. I believe that Cracow would be too busy and expensive, unless there is a nice suburb there with good prices

You might want to spend a few months there before you invest there.

My partner is from Tarnów but lives with me now in the UK. The employment situation, like many other parts of Poland, is not good but this, I figure, keeps the property market there affordable as does the fact it is not really a major spot on the tourist map. For a lot less than $120,000 you should be able to pick up something pretty good. Tarnow is known for being the warmest part of Poland and is well located for getting to Kraków, which is the nearest major airport for getting around Europe etc, or for visiting the Tatras and countries bordering Poland such as Czech Rep, Slovakia, Ukraine. Like another poster suggested it would be wise to spend some time there before diving in to buy something; rents are relatively cheap so why not spend some months getting a feel for it? With Kraków getting a bit overpriced I've read it could be an area on the up and when I was there a few months ago they are well on the way to building a major motorway from Kraków to Tarnów which could boost the economy there and push up property prices. There are some good reasons for considering it as a place to live.

120 000 US$ is quite a lot , i would recommend Krakow because although it is more expensive ,Krakow has everything ,albosultely everything ( Culture, Active Business life, Leisure activities, shops restaurants architecture, museums etc etc)

I believe that Tarnow would be 30 % cheaper than Krakow depending whare and what you buy but it will take 10-15 years to Tarnow in my opinion to reach what Krakow can offer if it ever does so it is up to you ,if you are prepared to be patient...
