Neighborhoods of Prague 9

The district has three distinct layers: new construction in lower Vysocany and Liben, the Prosek and Strizkov estates on the hill above, and the older stock of Hloubetin and Hrdlorezy to the east. Rents and the feel of each differ considerably.

FAQ

Where is renting cheapest in Prague 9?

Usually the Prosek and Strizkov estates and Hrdlorezy. New builds in Vysocany cost more but still less than comparable flats closer to the center.

How long is the commute to the center?

Metro B from Vysocanska to Namesti Republiky is about ten minutes; metro C from Prosek to Florenc around ten.

Is Vysocany worth living in?

You get newer housing and a metro at a lower rent than the inner city. Expect continuing construction nearby, and a quarter that does not yet have the amenities of long-established parts of Prague.

Is there a listing fee?

No. Listing and contacting the owner are free.
