Building types in Prague 6

Prague 6 has no single housing type. Interwar brick houses in Dejvice and Bubenec, villas in Stresovice and Hanspaulka, panel estates in Petriny and new projects by the metro all behave differently in layout, cost and pending works.

Note: For older buildings in Dejvice and Bubenec always ask for the repair plan - a facade or lift renovation in a heritage-protected house costs considerably more than in ordinary stock.

What holds value in Prague 6

  • Metro A end to end:Hradcanska, Dejvicka, Borislavka, Nadrazi Veleslavin, Petriny and Nemocnice Motol. Walking distance to a station is the basic price driver.
  • Universities and the hospital:the Dejvice campus and the Motol teaching hospital create steady demand for both purchase and rental, which matters for a buy-to-let.
  • The diplomatic quarter:Bubenec and the area around Stromovka hold value across market cycles.
  • Green space:Stromovka, Divoka Sarka, Ladronka and the Hvezda game park, a combination no other district offers.
  • The airport:an accessibility advantage, but also a noise burden in parts of Ruzyne and Liboc. Check the specific address, not the neighborhood.
