The housing stock of Prague 10

The district was built in layers. Closest to the center stand the apartment houses of Vrsovice and the Vinohrady edge, behind them the interwar and postwar stock of Strasnice, then the panel estates of Zahradni Mesto and Zabehlice, and on the east the industrial sites of Hostivar and Malesice that are gradually turning into housing.

What sets the price in Prague 10

  • Distance from Vinohrady:prices fall fairly steadily eastward; Vrsovice costs more than Strasnice, which costs more than Zahradni Mesto.
  • Metro A:Zelivskeho, Strasnicka, Skalka and Depo Hostivar. On the estates, the walk to a station is the main price difference.
