Apartment prices along Prague’s metro network are only going in one direction: up. A recent analysis shows that there is no longer a single metro station where apartments are available for less than 100,000 crowns per square metre on average. Areas around the yellow Metro Line B are currently in particularly high demand.
Prices for flats along Prague’s metro network continue to rise – and have now crossed a new historic threshold. For the first time since HYPOX began its long-term observation of the so-called Metroindex, there is not a single metro station in the vicinity where flats are sold for less than 100,000 crowns per square metre on average.
The trend shows that property prices are rising across the entire metro network. Even areas that were once comparatively inexpensive, such as Černý Most, Luka and Opatov, now have average prices of over 107,000 crowns per square metre.
The cheapest metro station remains Roztyly – but even there, the average price per square metre is now 104,268 crowns, an increase of over 12 per cent compared to two years ago.
Unsurprisingly, the historic centre is at the top of the scale. The most expensive station is currently Staroměstská. Anyone who wants to live within walking distance of the metro there can expect to pay almost 250,000 crowns per square metre. Malostranská and Dejvická are also above the 200,000-crown mark – all of them districts with sought-after old architecture, a high quality of life and little space for new buildings.
Line D: future residential areas near the metro are already becoming expensive
Even in the areas along the future Metro Line D, affordable housing is hardly an option anymore. In Písnice, the price is already just under 107,000 crowns per square metre. The most expensive area is currently around the Nádraží Krč station, with prices exceeding 125,000 crowns.
Where sales are currently highest
Prague 9 has the highest sales activity, especially around Line B. The frontrunner is the Kolbenova station with 407 completed sales in the second half of 2024. Anděl follows in second place with 257 sales, closely followed by Vysočanská with 227.
These districts are also among the fastest-growing residential areas in Prague. The number of new buildings is increasing significantly here – and prices are rising accordingly. On average, prices per square metre at these three stations rose by around 10,000 crowns within a year.
Background: the Metroindex
The Metroindex is a data-based long-term project by the company Flat Zone and has been analysing the actual sales prices of flats near all metro stations in Prague for over ten years.
