Work / Planning a move to Wroclaw (a company offers me a Gross salary of 4000 Polish Zloty) [23]
Hi
I think it would be tight. You would be looking at a minimum of 2,000 zl a month for a 1 bedroom flat in an average area, with fees. In a better area you need to look at 2,500 zl a month. If you look to the suburbs you may find cheaper properties. Commuting is fast, easy and very cheap. Make sure you find an apartment near a tram line.
Apartments in Poland can be quite small too, 30 to 40 square meters.
I live with my partner and we have a fairly normal life style here and we go through 2,000 zl a month on food, shopping and ‘going out’ We don’t drink or smoke. But that’s just us. Our rent and fee’s are around 2,100 zl for a modern one bedroom flat in a ‘quite’ nice area.
Don’t be fooled into thinking the cost of living here is cheap, because it’s not. It’s not expensive, but it’s certainly not cheap.
Poland is a fantastic place to live; the people I have met have been very warm and welcoming. Wrocław is a beautiful city, I’m sure you will have an amazing time there. I am sure it’s a great place to raise a child. ‘Private’ health care is excellent, the best I have ever come across, so I am sure you will have no problems in that department, many doctors and nurses speak good English too.
Good luck with the move.
