General Info
Incorporated
into 碍谤补办贸飞 in 1941, Wola Justowska has long been recognized as the city鈥檚 most
prestigious area 鈥� an affluent district popular with the city鈥檚 high-net
individuals. Known for its greenery and parks, as well as its immediate
proximity to the protected woodland of Wolski Forest, it鈥檚 an area that feels
pleasantly segregated from the everyday urban bustle. Living here, residents
often liken the sensation to that of being in the countryside, and it is that
feeling that is often highlighted as the area鈥檚 principal draw. Sparsely
populated at the start of the 19th century (an early census records just 51 houses
in the district), there is also a genteel sense of historical value, one that
is emphasized by the Renaissance era Villa Decius and a striking open air
skansen featuring charming examples of the wooden architecture that once
sprinkled this region.
Architecture & Property
Wola
Justowska is defined by the uniqueness of its architectural offer 鈥� the bland
uniformity that fills much of Poland鈥檚 urban landscape is conspicuous by its
absence. Comprised largely of detached, single family homes, many of these were
built during the 50s through to the 80s; although they once featured different
dedicated levels for different generations of the same family, today鈥檚 trends
have seen these homes renovated to tout a more 鈥榦pen plan鈥� for the modern day
family unit. High-rises do not exist in Wola Justowska, however, the area has
seen more intimate developments integrated into the landscape as well as a
spate of ultra-stylish modern villas for the city鈥檚 top earners.

Green & Recreational Areas
The jewel
in the crown will always be the Wolski Forest, an area known as Krakow鈥檚
largest wooded park. Covering well in excess of 400 hectares, these green lungs
are the thriving home to 1,500 animals and include cycle paths, hiking trails
and a series of manmade landmarks such as the epic Baroque era Camaldolese
Monastery, the city鈥檚 zoo, the stern Przegorzaly Castle 鈥� which will soon house
a luxury boutique hotel 鈥� and the Pilsudski Mound. Thirty-five metres high, the
views from the top are breathtaking.
