Life / Working in Mokotow - Living in ... ? (Warsaw) [5]

Dear Members,

Soon I am planning to move to Warsaw and it's time to start searching for an apartment. My job will be located in the region of Galeria Mokotow. As I am not a huge fan of living in apartment blocks, I would prefer to live in a residential area (but still affordable, though). I own a car, so public transport is not an issue.

I have visited several regions, like Pruszków, Jozefoslaw and Piaseczno, it seems to be nice and affordable regions. Still, I have not felt "hand-on" experience of traffic jams in Warsaw. What will be the best option for me in this context? I have heard that the road to Piaseczno is extremely busy. Is the road to Pruszkow calmer?

Which regions can you advice?

Your help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
