DISTANCE TO UNDERGROUND STATIONS AS ONE OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING PROPERTY PRICES

19. 2. 2025

If you have invested in properties near Prague underground stations in the past ten years, the value of your investment has increased significantly. The price per square metre in these locations has doubled or even tripled. And this trend is expected to continue in the following years.

An essential factor in pricing the square metre is the structure of the housing stock. Those areas close to underground stations where active development is under way have a significantly higher potential of increase in the price per square metre. New development projects also contribute to an increase in the prices of existing residential dwellings in blocks of flats or high-rise blocks. Another important factor in property prices and their potential increase is the location and its lucrativeness.

A few figures:

• 54,000 is the number of flats sold in the last ten years, situated within one kilometre from an underground station.
• The price per square metre of flats near Nádraží Holešovice underground station has increased by 241% in the last ten years.
• The highest prices of flats per square metre near underground stations:
  • Line A: Staroměstská and Malostranská
  • Line B: Můstek and Náměstí republiky
  • Line C: Hlavní nádraží
• The lowest prices of flats per square metre near underground stations:
  • Line A: Depo Hostivař, Skalka, Strašnická
  • Line B: Smíchovské nádraží, Luka, Vysočanská
  • Line C: Letňany, Roztyly, Háje

This data shows that in terms of potential investment in properties it pays off to watch locations where new metro stations are being planned to be built. This is especially true for the new line D, which is being built at the moment, as well as for those locations where development projects are in their initial stage and are situated within walking distance from underground stations.
