Mr. Tomasz Commutes from Warsaw to Work. He Bought a Second Apartment in Olsztyn

Twice a week, Mr. Tomasz travels from Warsaw to Olsztyn for work. Until now, he had been renting apartments through online listings. Now he has invested in purchasing an apartment. – I chose a functional apartment in the Grzegorzewska Apartment Building, and I don’t regret it because there are several advantages – he says.

For several years, Mr. Tomasz has been traveling to Olsztyn for a few days to work. He is a doctor at a clinic in Olsztyn. He commutes from Warsaw, where he lives. – Until now, when I came to Olsztyn, I would browse online listings and rent an apartment or stay with friends. However, it was neither comfortable nor convenient – he explains.

He adds: – It turns out that renting a place for a short time is also time-consuming – there aren’t many apartments in Olsztyn available for just a few days a week. So I decided to invest in an apartment on Grzegorzewska Street.

Olsztyn – A Good Place for a Second Home

Mr. Tomasz bought an investment apartment – he runs a business, so as an owner, he can deduct 23% VAT from the purchase. – On the days I’m not in Olsztyn, I’ll simply rent the apartment to others. It’s a win-win situation – I don’t have to browse listings, and the investment will partially pay for itself – he notes.

He emphasizes that he chose the Grzegorzewska Apartment Building for several reasons. First, he valued proximity to the city center. – The Old Town and Central Park are just a stone’s throw away, and I enjoy running, so that’s a big plus. Second, I was captivated by the architecture, the closeness to greenery, the river at arm’s length, and the quiet neighborhood – lists Mr. Tomasz.

With a smile, he doesn’t rule out moving to Olsztyn in the future. – I’ll definitely enjoy coming here even more in the summer. Warsaw doesn’t have as many lakes, greenery, and forests. The capital also lacks peace. Olsztyn is different – he says.
