Rent in Gdańsk
Gdańsk is the largest of the three Tricity cities (alongside Sopot and Gdynia) on Poland's Baltic coast, with a compact, walkable old town and a long beachfront stretching north toward the resorts. Renters trade a slightly smaller job market than Warsaw or Kraków for the sea, lower-than-capital prices, and an English-friendly, growing tech and BPO scene. Most long-term flats are rented unfurnished-to-semi-furnished through agencies or OLX, and demand spikes sharply in September with the student intake.
Rental pressure is high and rising: limited central supply, strong tourism that diverts flats to short-let, and steady in-migration for tech and shipyard-adjacent jobs keep the citywide median for a 2-room flat around 4,200 PLN/month in 2025. The renter pool skews toward young professionals, students at the University of Gdańsk and Gdańsk Tech, and a meaningful share of expats and relocators. The multi-year trend is upward, with the seaside and central districts pulling well above the city median.
