Valpomike,

I think that you can consult David Piekarczyk who moved from Chicago to Poznan, Poland with his wife a few years ago. In his blog Poland-Our Future : http://david-polanddavid.blogspot.com/ David has described in details the whole process of preparation, moving and their current life in Poland. I think that blog archive from 2007 when they moved to Poznan may be of particular interest to you: http://david-polanddavid.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2007-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&updated-max=2008-01-01T00:00:00-06:00&max-results=50

David is also PolishOrigins' member and you can try to contact him via private message: http://polishorigins.com/joda .

I live for more than 10 years now at the suburbs of Warsaw, in the town of Pruszkow. Although we are thinking about moving to a countryside I know that I would never exchange Pruszkow for Warsaw (where I also lived for some time). And prices of real estates here are at least 15% lower than in Warsaw.

Let us know about progress of your moving project

Thank you for your help, but to start with, I just want to rent, until I am sure where I want to be.

Is Mokotow near, within walking distance to downtown Warsaw? I know several flats included the cable, T.V., phone and internet, as all other ultiities in a total cost of around the 1500 zloty fee you spoke of, some a bit higher. What are the other areas, I should look for a flat?
Thank you for your help so far, and if you have more, please get it to me.

Hi, I live in Warsaw but have been travelling in the last few days. I will send you some suggestions tomorrow.
As regards cable TV, phone and internet, you usually have to arrange it (sign a contract) yourself. In most places in Warsaw, there are several providers, and you get the best price when you buy these 3 services in a package.
I can't check the current prices for 3-room flats, but as a point of reference, I can tell you that a furnished one-room apartment in Mokotow, close to the Metro station, costs about 1500 zloty per month plus about 100-150 zloty for utilities (gas, electricity, water).

No help from anyone, why?

You mean, there is no one out there, who can, or will help me on this?
Please help, I don't know where to go for this information.

I need help from those of you now living in or near Warsaw, Poland. I know several areas of Warsaw, have there own names, and I need to know, which area, would be best for me. I am selling my home, here in the U.S.A. and after this is done, I plan on moving to Warsaw, to retire. I need a nice area, that is safe, and not overpriced. I need, for one person, a fully furnished apartment, with three rooms, a bedroom, with a full size bed, and a kitchen furnished with everything I may need to make my meals, and a living room with T.V. cable, internet, phone, and all utitilies included in. Please give the name of these areas, where to look.
I hope to live off my social security and a small pension, a total around $ 1,200.00 per month, Americnan, do you think I can do this?
If you know of a good way, for me to set up this apartment prior to my move, please help me with this, or if you know where I can look.
