General Info

Across Poland, Konstancin-Jeziorna enjoys a peerless reputation as the country’s lodgings of choice for the nation’s financial, political, legal and industrial elite. Finding favour with diplomats, CEOs and other assorted powerbrokers, it is not just the sumptuous properties that command attention, but the area itself. Benefiting from a unique microclimate born from its proximity to the pine forests found all around, Konstancin-Jeziorna is known for its thermal mineral waters, spas and sanatoriums. Located just beyond Warsaw’s city limits, this southern satellite town feels proudly independent of Warsaw, offering a profound and complete counter-balance to the capital’s action and energy. Soothing and sedate in its atmosphere, highlights include a historic 19th century paper mill since revived as a small but upmarket shopping centre. The area has seen an uptick in reputable restaurants, though for the most part visitors will make their way into Warsaw to dine and drink.



Architecture & Property

Were it more brash, Konstacin-Jeziorna could easily market itself as an extraordinary place for extraordinary people. Instead, it’s far more discreet than that with its prime properties hidden deep behind fences and trees. These conceal a panoply of top-end housing that range from classical 19th century manor houses to Neo-Gothic indulgences. The area is not limited to one conformist style, however, and as such it boasts many examples of Art Nouveau, inter-war modernism and, even, more Mediterranean styles. In recent years, plots have also been filled with stunning detached projects as well as an increasing number of small-scale residential estates aimed at the upper-middle class. Despite its lofty reputation, Konstancin-Jeziorna does also have numerous more modest developments dating from the dreary years of Communism.

Greenery & Recreation

Naturally, premium properties come with large and picturesque gardens, but for those wishing to truly nature that much is easily achieved – deer, wild boar, woodpeckers and owls can all be spotted in Kabaty Forest, while the well-tended Powsin Botanical Gardens offer numerous photo opportunities amid its curling paths and abundant azaleas. Revitalized a decade or so ago, the Spa Park includes a graduation tower and a network of wooden bridges built over its waterways. Less tamed, the protected Chojnow landscape park and forest is as popular with mountain bikers and strolling families as it is with wildlife lovers keen to catch sight of beavers, pheasants and nesting storks.
