Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is distinguished by a strong presence of green areas and proximity to water bodies, which significantly enhances the visual appeal of the district. The architecture is mixed—there are both villa fragments and low single-family homes, as well as multi-family housing estates, creating a diverse yet interesting architectural character. Many blocks have a friendly, green street context and emphasize the role of the landscape in the urban layout. However, the condition of the facades is uneven—there are renovated buildings and aesthetic villas, but also places with partial renovations and neglected courtyards. This results in a very localized aesthetic perception that depends on the specific street or block. Urban coherence is not entirely uniform—some areas show extensions or various stages of modernization that disrupt the uniform character. The integration of greenery with the built environment is, however, a strong point: parks, squares, and lakeside areas improve the spatial composition and user comfort. The historical and cultural value of the architecture in this district is moderate—there are older, valuable villas, but there is a lack of larger clusters of historic tenement houses as found in the city center. The quality of new investments is varied—there are aesthetic projects, but also developments with neutral or average finishing standards. Street lighting and infrastructure improve the perception of space in many areas, although minor neglects are reported in some places. The overall picture is positive for those who value greenery and the tranquil character of the neighborhood. However, irregularities in facade renovations and local neglect lower the rating on a city scale. Considering the criteria of architectural attractiveness, facade condition, urban coherence, and greenery integration, the district deserves a "good" rating. In the future, with the continuation of urban revitalization programs and facade renovations, the aesthetics of the district have the potential to improve. A practical recommendation for those interested: assess specific blocks during visits, paying attention to the condition of courtyards and facade fragments. In summary, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is an aesthetically pleasing and green district with mixed quality of buildings, justifying a rating of 4/6.

Arkońskie-Niemierzyn has a relatively well-developed commercial and service network typical of an attractive residential neighborhood. The proximity to recreational areas (Arkonka) fosters the development of local service points and neighborhood shops. The district has grocery stores, bakeries, and several discount/chain stores, ensuring convenience for daily shopping. The availability of pharmacies is good—pharmacies and medical points are within walking distance for most residents. Bank branches and ATMs are present, although their density is lower than in the city center. Postal facilities serve the area in the context of the urban network—access to postal services is satisfactory. Hairdressers, beauty salons, and other personal services are common on neighborhood streets, which enhances the convenience of daily life. The gastronomic offer exists (cafés, small establishments), but it is not as extensive and diverse as in the city center or the Old Town. There is no large shopping center within the immediate boundaries of the district serving as a service magnet, so residents often use centers in the city center (Galeria Kaskada, Turzyn, Galaxy). Good tram and bus connections (traveling to the center takes about 10–20 minutes) partially compensate for the lack of large galleries, allowing access to a wider range of offerings. The network of discount stores and basic services is sufficient for families and individuals who value peace and greenery. Opinions from real estate listings and local forums indicate that the neighborhood is popular due to the comfort of living and practical service facilities. The main limitations are the smaller number of higher-class restaurants, a limited offer of boutiques and specialty shops, and shorter working hours for some points outside the center. For specialized medical services or a wide selection of gastronomy and entertainment, traveling to the city center is necessary. Overall, the commercial and service infrastructure is solid and well meets daily needs—therefore, a rating of 4 (Good) is appropriate. With further development of local buildings and an increase in the number of service premises, availability could improve and influence an increase in the rating.

The Arkońskie-Niemierzyn district receives a rating of 3 (Average) in the category of Culture and Entertainment. This rating stems from the fact that it is primarily a residential area with a limited number of professional cultural institutions within its territory. The district lacks large theaters, museums, or multiplex cinemas, which are concentrated in the city center and the Old Town. The local cultural offerings mainly rely on small community initiatives, libraries, and occasional neighborhood events. The proximity to Park Kasprowicza is a significant asset — the park provides natural conditions for outdoor events, amateur concerts, and family gatherings. Thanks to relatively good communication with the center, residents have relatively easy access to the Philharmonic, the Castle, and other major venues, which enhances the practical availability of culture. However, this accessibility requires travel, which diminishes the daily vibrancy of the local cultural scene. The district features local clubs and cafes with an intimate character, but there is a lack of club offerings with a higher musical profile and regular cycles of exhibitions and film screenings. The absence of specialized creative spaces (studios, independent galleries) limits the development opportunities for local artists and initiatives. The level of seasonal events is moderate — picnics, fairs, and outdoor events are possible near Park Kasprowicza, but larger festivals or city-wide events occur less frequently. The local community shows activity in the form of neighborhood initiatives and cultural activities in community centers or libraries, which positively impacts the integration of residents. Residents' opinions indicate a need for better coordination of events and a greater number of permanent cultural meeting spaces outside the center. Therefore, cultural infrastructure is available more in a "use occasionally" model than in a "use daily/regularly" model. Public transport and the proximity of major urban arteries minimize cultural isolation, but do not replace the local offerings. The district has developmental potential due to green areas and relatively large public spaces that could be better utilized for cultural activities. Realistic actions to improve the rating include the development of small outdoor stages, support for local event organizers, and equipping cultural centers with audiovisual equipment. Additionally, marketing events and better cooperation with municipal institutions could increase attendance and diversify the offerings. Considering the current state — a limited number of institutions, but good communication with the center and park advantages — a rating of 3 is appropriate. This rating suggests that residents have moderate access to cultural life but are dependent on institutions located outside the district. In summary, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is a pleasant, green district with a basic cultural offering, a good foundation for the development of local activity, but currently lacks a rich institutional background.

Arkońskie-Niemierzyn has very good access to green areas thanks to its proximity to the Arkońskie Forest and Kasprowicz Park. Kasprowicz Park is a large urban park offering walking paths, recreational areas, sports fields, and infrastructure for cultural events. The Arkońskie Forest (part of the Bukowa Forest/Puszcza Bukowa/Arkonian Forest Park) provides residents with access to extensive running trails, forest paths, and bike routes. The number and size of the main green spaces in the district are significant compared to many other parts of the city. The infrastructure for outdoor activities (running trails, bike paths, walking areas) is well developed. The availability of playgrounds and smaller recreational zones in the immediate vicinity of the housing estates is good, although some areas may require modernization. The district also has advantages for runners and cyclists due to the connection of parks and forest trails. The network of pedestrian and bike paths in the area of Kasprowicz and Arkonii is relatively coherent, but there is room for improvement in connections to further parts of the city. The quality of maintenance of green areas in this part of the city is generally good, although city opinions indicate local differences in maintenance and equipment. Safety (lighting, monitoring) in the main parks is usually acceptable; however, some forest paths may be poorly lit at night. The variety of recreational offerings is high — from peaceful walks to running and cycling, to outdoor events in Kasprowicz Park. The distance to the largest green areas for most residents of Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is small, often within walking distance. The overall green cover in the district is high, making the area perceived as "green" and attractive to those seeking contact with nature. Despite the strong natural offerings, there is a lack of information about a large number of new neighborhood investments in "pocket parks" — although this is not critical. Residents generally rate access to the forest and large parks positively, but they express expectations regarding maintenance and minor amenities. The district also performs well for families and active recreational individuals due to the proximity of attractions and play spaces. The natural potential and the presence of reserves nearby also enhance the recreational value of the area. The main limitations are local differences in the standard of playground equipment and the need for better connectivity of some bike paths. Considering all criteria — green space area, accessibility of paths, and variety of activities — the district deserves a rating of "very good." Recommendations for maintaining and raising standards include improving minor infrastructure and more coherent bike connections with the rest of the city.

Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is part of the western, villa belt of Szczecin, which in the studied material was mentioned in the group of districts with a higher standard of infrastructure. The roads are largely well-maintained — the main routes and neighborhood streets do not stand out with a large number of defects compared to peripheral areas. Sidewalks and pedestrian paths in residential areas are mostly in good condition, with well-kept surfaces and relative accessibility for pedestrians; there are indeed local spots requiring ad-hoc repairs (e.g., protruding roots, minor cracks), but these are not systemic problems. Street lighting is rated as sufficient and is often modernized as part of municipal projects and SBO, which improves the sense of safety after dark. The water and sewage networks serviced by ZWiK are connected and operate stably; no specific signals of chronic problems with water supply or sewage in this district have been reported. Electrical power is generally stable — as in the whole city, there are occasional planned outages, but there are no indications of exceptional failures in the energy infrastructure in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn. Access to fixed internet (fiber/cable) and mobile internet is good — the district benefits from the offerings of municipal operators and has a similar level of 5G availability as other western districts of Szczecin. Waste management operates according to municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin/MPO) and there are no specific remarks for this location. The maintenance of greenery and recreational areas is at a good level, which positively affects the overall perception of the infrastructure. The source report also includes signals from residents' opinions (forums/Reddit), which generally rate Arkońskie-Niemierzyn positively, emphasizing the comfort of living and well-kept surroundings. However, it is advisable to monitor local SBO projects and ZDiTM announcements, as minor renovation and modernization works may temporarily hinder traffic or sidewalk accessibility. Although the standard is high, typical urban issues do occur: occasional parking problems, minor sidewalk defects, or the need for surface replacement on short sections. In comparative terms, the district ranks above the city average — better than many right-bank and industrial areas, and is close to the standards of Pogodna or Warszewa. The rating of 5 (very good) reflects the high level of available technical services and regular modernization works, while also taking into account minor, local shortcomings. Recommendation for interested residents: before purchasing, it is worth checking the availability of a specific fiber connection for the address and familiarizing oneself with local ZDiTM/ZWiK schedules to avoid periodic disruptions related to planned works. In summary, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is a district with very good technical infrastructure, relatively low risk of serious defects, and active plans for improving urban elements.

I rate Arkońskie-Niemierzyn a 5 on a scale of 1 to 6 (very good quality in terms of noise and pollution). The rating is based on an analysis of the city's acoustic maps (Geoportal 2019), general data on the road layout and green areas, as well as local residents' reports. The district directly adjoins recreational areas (Arkonka), which provides a significant green buffer that reduces both noise and dust. Most streets in the neighborhood are characterized by moderate traffic intensity and low noise levels compared to the city center and main arteries. The largest sources of noise in the area are local routes leading towards the center, as well as occasional roadworks and construction activities. There are no significant industrial neighborhoods or direct proximity to the port, which reduces the risk of long-term industrial nuisances. Air quality in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is usually better than in the central parts of the city due to greenery, although it is subject to seasonal deterioration during the heating season. Available GIOŚ stations do not directly measure every neighborhood, so local differences may occur, and it is worth checking current readings. The cleanliness of the streets is rated as good — the Municipal Guard and city services conduct regular cleaning activities, and residents organize local clean-ups. However, there are occasional local problems with littering near recreational areas and in pocket parks. Nighttime nuisances are relatively low; the district is not an area of intense nightlife or a high concentration of entertainment venues. The proximity to recreational areas contributes to better acoustics and microclimate compared to more urbanized parts of Szczecin. The acoustic maps from 2019 show lower levels of noise emissions here than in communication centers, which supports the very good rating. However, updates to the maps and new road investments since 2019 may locally change conditions, so the rating is approximate. Residents' reports do not indicate recurring complaints about noise or industrial emissions specific to this district. I recommend checking current PM2.5/PM10 readings on the GIOŚ panel and visiting the area at different times of the day before making a housing decision. For those sensitive to noise, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is an attractive option due to low traffic intensity and access to greenery. For completeness, it is also worth seeking opinions from local neighborhood groups about current roadworks and specific cleanliness issues. In summary: relatively low noise, good air quality relative to the city, and a high level of street cleanliness justify the rating of 5. Possible factors that may lower comfort include local communication routes and seasonal heating pollution, which should be monitored.

According to preliminary research, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn has only 24 active listings for apartments for sale, placing it in the category of low availability. This volume of listings is significantly lower than in districts with medium and high supply, which directly limits the choices for buyers and renters. In practice, this means fewer apartments of various sizes and layouts available at any given time. From the perspective of building types, the district is largely characterized by low and medium-rise developments, with a higher proportion of family apartments and segments, which naturally limits the diversity of offerings. The availability of rental listings in the context of total supply is also likely limited, but this requires clarification by separating sales and rentals. New construction and developer activity in this part of the city are moderate and are rather concentrated in other areas, so future supply does not seem to be growing quickly. This results in a low likelihood of a short-term increase in the number of available apartments. The district's popularity due to greenery and quality of life increases demand, which, combined with limited supply, may further exacerbate difficulties in finding a suitable property. The exposure time of listings on the market in Szczecin is generally extended, which may suggest moderate demand; however, in the case of attractive green neighborhoods, competition with a limited number of listings may be greater. The diversity of offerings (apartments of various standards, houses, small premises) seems limited, reducing the chances of finding specific needs without longer searching. Developers are not as concentrated here as in the center, so the supply of new apartments is relatively modest. Vacancy rates are likely low, which on one hand indicates good absorption of available apartments, but on the other hand means little turnover and few purchasing opportunities. Communication and service availability are generally good, which maintains demand but does not significantly improve supply. Therefore, the ease of finding a suitable apartment is lower than in districts with a larger secondary and developer market. For buyers focused on quickly closing a transaction or a wide selection of alternatives, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn may require compromises or a longer search period. For renters, similarly, the short-term offer may be limited, especially in desirable locations within the district. Considering all availability criteria (number of listings, diversity, new investments, ease of finding), the assessment should reflect rather poor availability. Hence, I recommend a rating of 2 on a scale of 1 to 6. I suggest supplementing the data with a breakdown of sales vs. rentals and the number of houses and premises to more precisely monitor changes in supply. In the short term, individuals looking for an apartment in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn should be prepared for a limited selection and may need to expand their search area or increase their patience.

The median price per m² in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is approximately 8,552 PLN/m², which is slightly below the city's accepted median (~8,640 PLN/m²). This makes purchasing an apartment in this district generally more affordable than in the most expensive areas (Osów, Warszewo, Gumieńce), but at the same time more expensive than in the cheapest areas (Wielgowo, Skolwin, Golęcino-Gocław). In terms of rental affordability, the district should rank close to the city average, providing moderate competitiveness for tenants and investors. The quality of life (green spaces, popularity among families) enhances the value for money, increasing the utility values of the purchased apartments. The diversity of the offerings—a mix of older blocks and newer developments—provides options for various budgets, although there are no extremely cheap segments. Regarding price stability and market predictability, the context of the NBP and local reports indicate corrections and seasonality; Arkońskie-Niemierzyn does not stand out here as either a growth hotspot or an area of high instability. The burden of housing costs relative to local incomes can be assessed as average—there are no signals of above-average burdens on households. For first-time buyers, the district represents a reasonable compromise between affordability and the quality of the environment. For investors focused on rentals, expected returns will be rather average, due to moderate rental rates and stable local demand. Accessibility and proximity to central parts of the city (relatively) maintain the attractiveness of the location without significantly inflating prices. Risks include typical factors: the technical condition of the specific unit, floor level, type of ownership, and changes in macroeconomic credit conditions. Data quality: the assessment is mainly based on the median from SonarHome and analysis of listings—actual transaction prices may vary. The future outlook appears moderately stable; there are no strong indications for sharp price increases or decreases in the short term. Compared to the entire city, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn offers better accessibility than the most expensive districts, but does not reach the level of "very cheap" peripheral areas. Overall, I assess the value for money as good—prices are affordable, and the quality of life and housing offerings add value to the purchase. For this reason, I give a rating of 4: good price accessibility, suitable for families and buyers looking for a balance between cost and apartment standards.

The assessment is based on the collected working material, in which Arkońskie-Niemierzyn received a preliminary rating of 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, corresponding to a higher level of safety in the urban context. Official sources (police, Municipal Guard) indicate the existence of a functioning patrol network and the availability of district officers, which positively affects the sense of security among the residents of this district. ZDiTM reports on the modernization of lighting on main streets, and the description of the district highlights good illumination of arteries, which improves visibility at night and reduces the risk of minor crimes. At the same time, the report points out green areas and recreational paths in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn, where lighting can be weaker and where additional security measures have been recommended. The National Threat Map and local media do not show a high concentration of serious incidents in this district, which supports a rating higher than the city average. Residents' opinions and local comments suggest overall satisfaction with the level of safety, while also requesting more frequent patrols in critical points – a typical demand in many parts of the city. The availability of a police station and active district officers in the area improves the response time of services in case of reports. The report also highlights the problem of vandalism against lighting infrastructure in the city, which could potentially undermine the effects of modernization in this district if damage occurs. In light of criteria such as crime statistics, the presence of patrols, street lighting, residents' experiences, and nighttime safety, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn ranks above the city average. Recommendations for maintaining or improving the rating include enhancing lighting on paths and routes in parks, monitoring recreational areas, and strengthening patrols during evening and nighttime hours. Further verification should include exporting data from the National Threat Map and statistics from the City Police Headquarters broken down by areas to confirm the low frequency of serious crimes. It is also worth comparing the list of streets modernized by ZDiTM with local reports to check if the lighting correlates with a lower number of reports. Given the current state of knowledge, where positive signals about low crime rates and good lighting on main thoroughfares dominate, a rating of "5 – very good safety" is justified. However, this rating assumes the continuation of current preventive actions by the Municipal Guard and Police, as well as ongoing investments in lighting. Repeated local requests for more frequent patrols and better lighting on recreational paths should be treated as a guideline for further actions. If these gaps are addressed, the district could achieve the highest safety rating in future analyses. The conclusions are preliminary, and I recommend obtaining detailed numerical data to reduce the uncertainty of the assessment and monitor trends in the long term.

Arkońskie-Niemierzyn is characterized by relatively good accessibility to tram stops towards the city center, providing residents with a convenient connection to the city center. The tram network offers direct connections or connections with one transfer to key urban points, as well as good links to the neighboring Pogodno and Łękno. The number of stops within the district is moderate—sufficient for most main communication routes, although the internal streets have a lower density of stops and are mainly served by buses. The frequency of service during peak hours is at a satisfactory level (tram line + several bus lines), while outside of peak hours, the service can be less frequent, especially in the evenings and on weekends. Connections to the center are generally direct and relatively quick thanks to the tram tracks, which shortens travel time and increases the attractiveness of using public transport. The quality of connections between districts is good where trams operate; buses complement the network and connect less accessible areas, although they often require more transfers. Public transport in the district benefits from modern rolling stock on selected lines, but not all services are fully low-floor—modernization is ongoing. Residents generally rate accessibility positively, although there are comments regarding overcrowding during peak hours and delays during construction work. Track renovations and temporary route reorganizations can temporarily worsen service quality, affecting user experiences. In Arkońskie-Niemierzyn, there is no large transfer hub comparable to the city center, but nearby hubs (e.g., along main tram routes) provide reasonable transfer options. Access to tickets and integration (SKA, apps) works throughout the city, so residents also benefit from these conveniences in this district. Punctuality is average—usually satisfactory, but sensitive to construction and city traffic jams on certain bus routes. Accessibility for people with limited mobility is improving due to the gradual modernization of platforms and the replacement of rolling stock, but not all stops are yet fully adapted. Compared to central districts, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn offers slightly less intensive but still solid service, placing it above the city average but below the best areas. From the perspective of planning daily commutes, the district is convenient for those working in the center and using the tram. Potential improvements include increasing frequency outside of peak hours, better bus connections to internal areas, and continuing the modernization of stops. Considering the number of stops, the quality of connections to the center, relations with neighboring districts, residents' opinions, and the impact of renovations, a rating of 4/6 (good) best reflects the current state of public transport in Arkońskie-Niemierzyn.

Bukowe-Klęskowo is primarily composed of multi-family housing estates from the PRL era (1970s-90s), supplemented by single-family homes on the outskirts. Architecturally, the district is characterized by a simple, functional form of large-panel blocks, which results in average visual attractiveness. The facade layer of many buildings is varied—there are places that have undergone thermal modernization, but also sections with facades that require significant repairs. The maintenance of buildings strongly depends on communities and cooperatives; where revitalization has taken place, aesthetics significantly improve. The urban composition of the estate is typical for the construction era: regular blocks that offer limited architectural diversity. The residential greenery and proximity to forested areas (bordering Bukowo) are strong advantages that positively influence the aesthetic perception of the space. The presence of trees, squares, and green belts alleviates the monotony of the buildings and increases the comfort of public spaces. The lack of significant monuments and historical value on a district scale lowers the score in the category of historical attractiveness. New investments in Bukowe-Klęskowo occur less frequently than in urban areas, which is why the quality of modern construction is moderate. Aesthetic coherence is moderate—there is no strong, unified aesthetic program, and the colors and details of the facades can be inconsistent. Street infrastructure and lighting are generally at a decent level, although local issues with sidewalks and elements of small architecture do exist. Urban revitalization programs mainly focus on the center, so Bukowe-Klęskowo sees fewer benefits from municipal grants and renovations. However, residents appreciate the green qualities and relative tranquility of the estate, which positively affects the overall aesthetic perception. Compared to villa districts (Pogodno, Warszewo), Bukowe-Klęskowo ranks lower in terms of architectural prestige. On a city scale, the district is thus positioned in the middle range of evaluations—it is neither a neglected periphery nor a representative part. Possible improvements in aesthetics include coordinated thermal modernizations of facades, thorough renovations of courtyards, and unification of architectural details. Actions regarding urban greenery and lighting could further enhance the perception of public space. When assessing on a scoring scale, considering the green assets but also the average quality of facades and lack of strong urban coherence, the proposed score is 3 (average aesthetics). This score simultaneously indicates room for improvement and potential arising from the location near green areas and opportunities from municipal revitalization programs.

Rating 3 reflects the average availability of trade and services in Bukowe-Klęskowo. The district has a mixed type of development (blocks and single-family houses), which fosters the existence of local shops and neighborhood services. The area is dominated by small grocery stores and service points that adequately meet daily needs. The gastronomic offer is limited — there is a lack of a greater number of restaurants and diverse places to eat on-site. Pharmacies are present, but their number and hours of operation are more modest than in the city center. Bank branches are less common; ATMs are available but unevenly distributed. Hairdressers, beauticians, and basic personal services operate at the neighborhood level and are usually sufficient. Postal facilities in Szczecin are well-covered, so residents of Bukowe-Klęskowo have access to postal services, although not necessarily in the immediate vicinity of every part of the neighborhood. The lack of proximity to large shopping malls means that for larger purchases and a wider selection of goods, one must travel to Turzyn, Galaxy, or the city center. The public transport network allows for such commutes, but it increases the time and costs of accessing the full commercial offer. The opening hours of services are typical for a neighborhood — fewer 24-hour points or weekend specialists. The commercial infrastructure is functional but underdeveloped and has limited diversity. For families and individuals needing basic services, this rating indicates an acceptable level of availability. For those expecting a wide gastronomic offer, specialized shops, or vibrant commercial life, Bukowe-Klęskowo will be less satisfying. Residential development in the area may increase demand for services and improve the offer, but the currently existing resources are moderate. Compared to the Center, Old Town, or Turzyn, the district has a distinctly lower density of service points. If proximity to a full range of services is a priority, areas closer to the city center or large shopping malls are recommended. In summary: rating 3 — the availability of basic services is good, but the lack of diversity and the need for commuting lower the overall quality of trade and services in Bukowe-Klęskowo.

The Bukowe-Klęskowo district is primarily residential and is described in available materials and residents' opinions as an area with a limited cultural offer. There is a lack of larger cultural institutions such as theaters, museums, or large concert halls. The presence of multiplex cinemas or club stages of significant importance on a city scale has not been noted. The cultural offer mainly relies on small, local initiatives and occasional outdoor events. Local socio-cultural centers and libraries, if they exist, have a limited program scope and rarely organize large event cycles. Residents, wanting to take advantage of a richer theatrical program, performances, or concerts, usually have to travel to the city center. This model results in a low frequency and diversity of events available in the immediate vicinity. The independent and alternative scene does not seem to concentrate in this district, which limits space for local creators and artists. The lack of central cultural meeting spaces weakens the integration of residents around common cultural initiatives. From the perspective of transport accessibility, Bukowe-Klęskowo is not extremely isolated, but the distance from cultural institutions in the center reduces the practical availability of the offer. Programs aimed at children and youth are implemented sporadically and depend on the activity of local non-governmental organizations. Compared to districts such as Centrum, Stare Miasto, or Pogodno, Bukowe-Klęskowo performs worse in terms of the number and quality of cultural offers. Nightlife and entertainment options at the club or concert level practically do not exist on a scale that would affect the district's attractiveness in this regard. Cultural programming is therefore fragmented and rarely attracts people from outside the immediate area. Despite this, there is potential for development through grassroots actions and the organization of outdoor events in neighborhood spaces. However, there have not yet been any significant investments or municipal institutions that could quickly improve the situation. In overall assessment, Bukowe-Klęskowo only fulfills basic recreational and social functions, not being a place with a rich cultural life. Therefore, on a scale of 1–6, I propose a rating of 2 (poor) for this district. This rating reflects the limited number of venues, low frequency of events, and dependence on the city center for access to culture. Improvement would require an increase in the number of local initiatives, better coordination, and potential investments in cultural infrastructure.

The assessment is based on available materials: Bukowe-Klęskowo is a right-bank district where significant park investments (e.g., Majowe Park) and new recreational facilities have emerged in recent years. The number of recreational facilities is moderate — neighborhood parks of small and medium scale, playgrounds, and outdoor gyms dominate. There is a lack of extensive, continuous forest areas comparable to Puszcza Bukowa, which limits the offerings for runners and enthusiasts of longer forest trails. The availability of playgrounds and small infrastructure is relatively good within the neighborhoods, although their distribution can be uneven and does not always meet the residents' needs. The quality of equipment is mixed — new investments receive positive feedback, while older places require more frequent maintenance and modernization. The maintenance of greenery and cleanliness are reported as issues in local discussions, which lowers the perception of existing spaces. The cycling infrastructure in Szczecin is developing and partially reaches the right bank, but the network of paths in Bukowe-Klęskowo is less dense than in some western and city center districts. Pedestrian routes and local paths are available, but they do not yet create a cohesive recreational network connecting larger parks with neighborhoods. The range of activities is average — besides playgrounds and outdoor gyms, there are opportunities for amateur sports on fields and access to water bodies and open areas of the right bank in a broader context. Residents appreciate new investments but often point out the need for more attractions and better maintenance. Issues of safety and lighting in some parks appear in comments as areas for improvement. Transport access to larger city parks can be less convenient than in central districts. For families with children, the district is attractive due to new playgrounds, while for those seeking large forest spaces or long cycling routes, other districts near Puszcza Bukowa would be better. In light of the city program ("Parks for Szczecinians") and ongoing investments, the prospects for improvement are real, which positively affects the assessment. In summary, Bukowe-Klęskowo has a good, growing offer of greenery and recreation — sufficient for most daily needs of residents, but with clear room for improvement regarding the scale of green areas, coherence of cycling routes, and quality of maintenance.

The Bukowe-Klęskowo district has infrastructure that falls within the average range — hence the rating of 3. In terms of road surfaces, the main routes are passable, but the local street network often requires repairs or paving. Residents and SBO materials indicate numerous requests for sidewalk modernization and the paving of neighborhood roads. Sidewalks can be fragmented or uneven, which lowers the comfort and safety of pedestrians, especially on less busy streets. Street lighting is present, but in many places, it is insufficient — SBO projects regarding the installation of lamps in Bukowe confirm local deficiencies. The water supply and sewage systems are connected to the municipal network, and major failures do not appear to be a common problem in the gathered sources. ZWiK is conducting phased upgrades throughout the city, which also translates to improved services in this part of Prawobrzeże. Electrical supply is generally stable, with typical planned service outages and occasional failures for the city. The availability of fixed and mobile internet is at a city level — operators offer fiber optic and 4G/5G coverage in most areas. Waste management operates according to municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin), with no specific signals about local problems. Overall maintenance of infrastructure is irregular: repair work occurs, but responses to reports are more common than comprehensive upgrades. Public transport and connections to the city center are weaker than on the left bank — residents of Bukowe indicate longer commutes and less frequent lines. Transit traffic is moderate, but heavier traffic and local transport needs affect the rapid wear of neighborhood street surfaces. In recent years, projects related to sports fields, lighting, and paving have appeared in SBO and local plans, indicating the activity of residents and repair plans. The implementation of these projects should gradually improve the standard of sidewalks and pedestrian safety, but many tasks are still to be completed. Particularly critical are sections near schools and entrances to forests/recreational paths, where safe pedestrian routes are lacking. From the perspective of an investor or a person moving in, it is worth checking a specific address for the nearest planned renovations and the availability of fiber optic. In summary: Bukowe-Klęskowo has functioning basic networks (water, electricity, internet, waste collection), but requires significant repairs to sidewalks, improvements to lighting, and local road paving. Therefore, the rating of 3 reflects a mix of adequate technical services and visible deficiencies in road and pedestrian infrastructure as well as nighttime safety. My recommendations are to prioritize the paving of neighborhood roads, complete sidewalks along school and recreational routes, and expand lighting in areas reported in SBO.

Bukowe-Klęskowo receives a rating of 6 as an area with very good conditions in terms of noise and pollution. The rating is based on urban acoustic maps (Geoportal 2019), which show low levels of road and railway noise emissions within the neighborhood. The district has extensive green areas and recreational corridors that act as a natural acoustic buffer and contribute to better air quality. Local streets are characterized by low traffic intensity, which limits noise and exhaust emissions directly in the vicinity of residential buildings. Unlike districts located near the port and industrial zones (e.g., Skolwin, Śmierdnica, Dąbie), Bukowe-Klęskowo is not exposed to permanent industrial sources and their associated emissions. Available readings from the GIOŚ station for Szczecin suggest that outskirts with abundant greenery usually have more favorable PM2.5/PM10 ratios outside the heating season, which supports the positive assessment of air quality in this part of the city. Nighttime disturbances are minimal—there are no concentrated entertainment venues generating noise and limited nighttime traffic. The cleanliness of the streets in the district is at a good level; information about municipal cleaning activities and residents' initiatives indicates active efforts to maintain order. Locally, there may be instances of littering in natural areas, but these are usually removed through cleaning campaigns and interventions by the Municipal Guard. Potential risks include short-term deterioration of air quality during the heating season and periodic roadworks that temporarily raise noise levels. The absence of major arteries running through the neighborhood reduces the likelihood of permanent traffic nuisances and NO2 emissions. Green corridors support noise dispersion and dust sedimentation, improving the microclimate of the neighborhood. However, due to the limited density of the measurement network, I recommend checking current GIOŚ readings before making a housing decision and visiting the area at different times of the day. Considering the acoustic maps, road layout, lack of nearby industrial sources, positive resident relations, and cleaning efforts, Bukowe-Klęskowo deserves the highest rating of 6 as one of the most environmentally friendly neighborhoods in Szczecin.

Bukowe-Klęskowo has approximately 51 preliminary listings of apartments for sale (advertising sources), placing it at the lower boundary of the "Average" supply category. The number of listings is moderate compared to downtown districts and large housing estates, which have significantly larger volumes of offers. The presence of around fifty listings provides buyers and renters with some choice, but not as wide as in the city center. The offerings predominantly consist of apartments in multi-family buildings; the number of single-family homes and segments is limited. In terms of diversity of types and sizes of apartments, Bukowe-Klęskowo is average — basic sizes are available, but there is a lack of a large number of non-standard offers. The area is also seeing new development investments, suggesting a gradual replenishment of supply. However, the pace of investment is lower than in areas with strong development activity (e.g., Międzyodrze, Stołczyn). The survey data mainly concerns sales listings, so a full assessment of the rental market requires supplementation, but based on the available listings, the volume of rental offers seems to correspond to the sales level — that is, moderate. The ease of finding a suitable apartment is average: options are available, but searching requires comparing several offers. The supply is sufficient for those looking for standard family apartments or for singles, but less so for those seeking specific solutions (e.g., large commercial spaces). Vacancy rates do not seem high, suggesting a stable local market, although the pace of exposure of listings in the Szczecin market is generally prolonged. The attractiveness of the district for family buyers (greenery, quieter development) positively influences demand but does not generate a significant increase in supply. Access to transportation and infrastructure is at a good to average level, which moderately supports demand and real estate turnover. From an investor's perspective, Bukowe-Klęskowo may be interesting as a moderately liquid market with moderate growth potential for supply. The main limitations are the relatively small number of listings and limited diversity of property types, as well as a lower concentration of new projects compared to the center. If the goal is to quickly find a very wide selection of apartments or a large developer offer, central districts or specially intensively developed areas would be better. Overall, considering the number of listings, the presence of new blocks, and moderate demand, a rating of 4 (Good) accurately reflects the good but not extensive availability of real estate in Bukowe-Klęskowo.

The Bukowe-Klęskowo district has a median price per square meter of around 8,707 PLN, slightly above the city median (~8,640 PLN). This places it in the "around average" category in terms of affordability. On a rating scale, considering the relative price to the average, I assess the affordability as average. In terms of purchase accessibility for a typical buyer, it requires a moderate down payment and standard creditworthiness. Regarding rentals, rates in Bukowe-Klęskowo will be close to the city averages, resulting in moderate investment profitability. The structure of the buildings—a mix of new developments and older blocks—provides some variety in price offers and standards. This positively affects the availability of options for different budgets but does not create a significant price advantage. Data from the NBP and industry reports indicate periods of corrections and greater market volatility, leading to moderate uncertainty about future prices. In the short term, Bukowe-Klęskowo does not stand out as either a significantly cheaper area or a strongly premium one. However, the quality-price ratio is acceptable—new developments may be more expensive, but older apartments offer better prices per square meter. Housing costs relative to local incomes will be typical for Szczecin; we do not observe extreme burdens on household budgets. The diversity of market segments (small apartments, family 3-4 room units) favors various buyer groups, improving accessibility. From an investor's perspective for rental purposes, demand will be moderate—better returns can be achieved closer to the center. Price stability in the sector depends on new projects and local infrastructure investments, which may raise prices in the short term. In the context of a long-term outlook, the district has a neutral outlook—there are no indications of significant declines or sharp increases. If the priority is maximum savings when purchasing, better alternatives are districts rated 4-5 (e.g., Skolwin, Wielgowo), as indicated in the study. However, buyers looking for a compromise between price and standard may find good offers in Bukowe-Klęskowo. Possible risks include local price premiums for new developments and an increase in demand for family apartments, which may slightly raise the average price. In summary, Bukowe-Klęskowo offers average affordability compared to Szczecin—neither distinctly cheap nor expensive. Therefore, I recommend a rating of 3 on a scale of 1-6: average affordability of apartments and houses.

I assess the level of safety in the Bukowe-Klęskowo district as 5 (Very good Safety). This rating is based on a synthetic analysis of available sources: reports from the City Police Headquarters, declarations from the Municipal Guard, information from ZDiTM, and accounts from local media and residents. The district is characterized by predominantly modern residential buildings and a lower crime report rate compared to the city center in working sources. Reports from residents and posts in local media mainly indicate minor incidents, such as thefts from basements and parking lots, rather than recurring serious crimes. The presence of Municipal Guard patrols and preventive police actions in Szczecin also operates in this area, which enhances the sense of security. ZDiTM is implementing upgrades to street lighting and improving the illumination of crossings, and such actions also affect residential areas and improve visibility at night. Nevertheless, the problem of vandalism against lighting infrastructure is noticeable in the city and may periodically reduce the effectiveness of the lighting improvements. The availability of police stations and the district system described by the KMP ensures that response times to reports in residential areas are typically good. Residents' opinions from local forums agree that Bukowe-Klęskowo is unequivocally safer than central areas or some regions of the right bank. Factors contributing to the high rating include a low number of reports of robberies and aggression, as well as relative social stability in the neighborhoods. Negative aspects include local cases of bicycle thefts and break-ins to basements, as well as occasional vandalism that requires local prevention. From the perspective of nighttime safety, most main pedestrian routes and bus stops are illuminated or planned for modernization. However, some smaller neighborhood roads and green paths may have weaker lighting, which affects the sense of security for some residents. I recommend continuing ZDiTM's investments in LED replacements and prompt removal of damage caused by vandalism. It is also worth considering preventive campaigns aimed at securing basements, garages, and bicycles, which are identified as locations of incidents. To ultimately confirm the assessment, it is necessary to obtain an export of reports from the National Threat Map and request statistics from the KMP broken down for the last 12 months. Currently available sources suggest that Bukowe-Klęskowo offers a high level of safety typical of modern neighborhoods in Szczecin. The district has good living conditions for families and individuals who value peace, while also requiring the maintenance of preventive actions regarding shared infrastructure. Therefore, the rating of 5 reflects a combination of a low number of serious incidents, active services, and ongoing lighting upgrades. If needed, I can prepare a detailed export of MMZB data and an analysis of KMP statistics to update the assessment and identify specific streets requiring intervention.

Bukowe-Klęskowo is primarily served by bus lines, and the number of tram stops in the district itself is limited or non-existent, which reduces the availability of direct, fast connections. The frequency of bus services during peak hours is usually sufficient for basic commuting, while outside of peak times and on weekends, services are less frequent, which worsens travel flexibility. Connections to the city center often require transfers or longer bus rides, which extends travel time and makes public transport less competitive compared to cars. The quality of connections between districts is moderate — direct connections to neighboring estates operate, but there is a lack of fast tram or rail services that would shorten travel times. There is no major transfer hub or SKM/SKA station in the district, so transfers occur at smaller stops with limited infrastructure. Residents locally report issues with frequency and travel times, which aligns with observations from forums and local reports. The fleet on the lines serving Bukowe-Klęskowo is mixed — there are newer low-floor buses, but also older vehicles, which affects travel comfort. Punctuality is average; in the case of roadworks or route repairs, changes may occur, causing delays. Accessibility for people with limited mobility is slowly improving due to upgrades, but not all stops are yet fully adapted. Planned agglomeration investments (SKM/complementary services) in other parts of the city may improve connections to the right bank and peripheral areas in the future, but without specific direct projects for Bukowe-Klęskowo, improvements remain moderate. Connections to the city center are stable but not fast — direct tram access from this district is limited, which is a significant drawback. The level of night and weekend services is limited compared to central districts. In summary: the transport offer in Bukowe-Klęskowo allows for daily commuting, but it lacks density, frequency, and fast direct connections, which is why I rate it as average (3/6) with potential for improvement through the implementation of agglomeration projects and increased service frequency.

Bukowo is primarily a district characterized by low building intensity and a predominance of single-family homes, often well-maintained, which positively affects the aesthetic perception. The facades, in most cases, appear to be well-kept or modern, improving the overall visual condition of the blocks. Urbanistically, Bukowo is marked by a cohesive villa-style and a clear street structure, which means there is a lack of chaotic extensions and inconsistent color renovations that are a problem in some parts of the city. The abundance of greenery and low building density strongly integrates the residential space with the natural surroundings, enhancing comfort and visual appeal. However, in terms of architectural diversity, Bukowo has limitations — single-family housing of a similar scale predominates, which reduces the richness of forms and eras present in more diverse districts. In the historical and cultural aspect, Bukowo does not stand out with historical buildings comparable to Pogodno or the Old Town, so its aesthetic value is mainly based on the quality of contemporary buildings and greenery. Spatial planning seems to be well thought out at the neighborhood level — the lack of intensive multi-family housing promotes the clarity of the urban layout. The integration of greenery with buildings is a strong asset: gardens, green belts, and proximity to forested or park areas positively influence the perception of architecture. I would assess the standard of new investments as good — modern houses and renovations are carried out with attention to the aesthetics of facades. However, a drawback is the lesser availability of representative architectural elements and public spaces with high finishing standards, which elevate the assessment in central districts. Additionally, with low building density, the issues of small-scale public spaces and the lack of an urban "front" limit attractiveness compared to more compact, historic parts of the city. The condition of facades is better than the city average, although local differences always occur depending on the age of the building and property management. Street lighting and pedestrian infrastructure in Bukowo are not indicated in this context as a major problem, which further contributes to a positive aesthetic perception, although a more detailed audit could reveal minor imperfections. The green surroundings also act as an acoustic and aesthetic buffer, which is important for the perception of buildings. In summary, Bukowo deserves a "very good" rating — it has a high aesthetic standard due to well-maintained homes, cohesive low-rise buildings, and good integration of greenery, but it does not achieve the highest rating due to limited architectural diversity and a lack of strong historical values or representative urban spaces.

Bukowo is primarily a quiet residential neighborhood with a predominance of multi-family and single-family housing. The district has a basic retail network — local shops, a few small markets, and a discount store within a few minutes' drive. The availability of larger supermarkets and discount stores (e.g., Lidl, Biedronka) is limited directly within the neighborhood — residents often travel to neighboring areas for a full selection. The dining options in Bukowo are limited — there is a lack of a large concentration of restaurants or cafes, with local eateries and fast-food bars dominating. Basic services, such as a pharmacy and a few medical points, are available, although the number of pharmacies is small compared to the city center. Bank branches and ATMs are sporadic; for a wider selection, residents head to nearby districts with better commercial infrastructure. A post office is available within the neighborhood or nearby, providing basic mail and courier services. Personal services, such as hairdressers, beauticians, or small car workshops, are present but in fewer numbers than in more urbanized parts of Szczecin. The lack of large shopping centers in Bukowo means that access to a wide range of shops and services requires a short trip by public transport or car. Good transport connections with the left-bank part of the city partially compensate for the smaller local offerings, but in the evenings and on weekends, the availability of transport can affect convenience. The opening hours of local points are typical for residential areas — most shops operate during daytime hours, with a limited number of 24-hour services. The quality and variety of minor services (e.g., tailoring, laundry, RTV services) meet the basic needs of residents, but there is a lack of specialized service points. For families and those who value peace, Bukowo offers sufficient commercial and service facilities for daily life. From the perspective of those seeking an intense dining scene and a wide selection of shops, Bukowo will fall short compared to areas like Centrum, Turzyn, or Pogodno. Residential investments on the outskirts of the city may gradually increase the demand for new service points in Bukowo, but at this moment, the development of commercial offerings is moderate. Prices for services and local shops are usually comparable to other neighborhoods outside the center, and the availability of chain promotions depends on the presence of discount stores in the immediate vicinity. Safety and low traffic intensity favor local entrepreneurs, but at the same time, they limit the emergence of larger retail chains. If quick access to 24-hour pharmacies, specialized medical offices, or various types of restaurants is a priority, Bukowo requires travel outside the district. Based on the analysis of available sources and residents' opinions, I assess the level of accessibility to trade and services in Bukowo as average. Therefore, I recommend a rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6 — indicating average accessibility to trade and services, with a good basic infrastructure but lacking a wide gastronomic offer and shopping centers.

Bukowo receives a rating of 2 — Poor availability of cultural and entertainment life. The district is primarily residential and lacks large cultural institutions such as theaters, museums, or large concert halls. In the study, it was described as 'Low/Medium', which confirms the limited local offerings beyond a few neighborhood initiatives. The variety of venues (cinemas, galleries, stages) is limited — there are no multiplexes, independent cinemas, or permanent theater stages within the district. Entertainment and nightlife options are scarce; Bukowo is not a place with a developed club or bar scene. Access to theaters, museums, and larger events requires traveling to the center of Szczecin, where the main cultural centers are concentrated. The frequency and quality of local cultural events are low — occasional neighborhood events, library meetings, and individual neighborly initiatives dominate. Social activity exists at the local level: libraries and sporadic programs in district centers serve as basic points of integration. However, the lack of permanent, professional stages limits opportunities for artists and creators wishing to operate locally. Creative spaces and art studios are rather absent or few, which hinders the development of a creative environment within the district itself. Cultural programming is characterized by limited diversity and small reach — these are mainly events aimed at residents, not city-wide projects. Cultural diversity and programming offerings are therefore poor compared to centers like Śródmieście or Stare Miasto. The cultural atmosphere in Bukowo is calm and local — one cannot speak of a vibrant urban cultural scene. It is worth noting the possibility of organizing outdoor events in nearby green areas and the role of libraries as integration points. The transport accessibility to the center allows residents to take advantage of the full offerings of the city, but this solution requires commuting and planning. In light of the assessment criteria — diversity, nightlife, access to institutions, frequency of events, social activity — Bukowo scores poorly. I recommend actions to strengthen the local offerings: support for small exhibition spaces, cycles of chamber concerts, and programs for families and youth. Better coordination with city calendars and promotion of local initiatives could increase the visibility of events. Considering the current state of infrastructure and cultural activity, a rating of 2 reflects the limitations of the district while acknowledging the existence of basic, local forms of cultural life.

Bukowo primarily has neighborhood greenery and allotment gardens in close proximity. In the context of the study, no large, dedicated urban parks directly assigned to Bukowo were found. This means that the number and size of parks are limited compared to some peripheral districts. Recreational infrastructure in the form of sports fields and outdoor gyms mainly exists in a neighborhood format. The quality and maintenance of this greenery are assessed in sources as mixed and dependent on specific locations. The availability of playgrounds and small sports zones is moderate — they exist, but are not necessarily densely distributed. The network of bike paths in the city is being developed; however, there is no evidence that Bukowo has particularly well-developed cycling infrastructure. For those who value proximity to large forest areas or reserves, Bukowo offers less direct accessibility than districts adjacent to Puszcza Bukowa. Allotment gardens and community gardens positively impact the local level of greenery and the quality of recreational space. Residents in general discussions report both praise for access to neighborhood greenery and expectations for larger park investments. City programs like "Parks for Szczecinians" increase the greenery offerings in the city, but preliminary materials do not indicate large projects focused on Bukowo. The distance to larger urban parks may be significant for some residents and requires travel. At the same time, Bukowo provides a quieter, green environment typical of neighborhoods with allotment gardens. The variety of recreational activities (e.g., specialized sports fields, rope parks) in the district seems limited. The availability of walking areas and places for active recreation is moderate and concentrated locally. The maintenance of small infrastructure (benches, bins, lighting) in some places requires improvement according to residents' opinions. For families with children, Bukowo offers basic recreational elements, but not necessarily a wide range of attractions. Overall, the level of greenery is better than in densely built-up parts of the center, but weaker than in areas bordering larger forests and reserves. In light of the assessment criteria, Bukowo ranks at an average level — there are positive resources, but there is a lack of larger public parks and developed infrastructure. For these reasons, I propose a rating of "3" — average, reflecting moderate accessibility to greenery and recreation.

Bukowo is treated in the materials as a peripheral area with infrastructure in varying condition. The condition of the road surfaces is mixed — the main routes are in acceptable condition, but local roads can be narrow, sometimes unpaved, or in need of repair. Sidewalks are fragmentary; there are sections with gaps or their absence, which lowers the comfort and safety of pedestrians. Street lighting is insufficient in some parts of Bukowo, and residents have reported the need for better lighting along pedestrian paths and sports fields. The materials from the research and SBO projects include reports regarding paving, lighting, and modernization of sports facilities in this part of the city, indicating recognized problems and plans for their resolution. The water and sewage network is connected to the municipal network (ZWiK) and generally provides reliability, although local disruptions may occur during modernization works. Electrical supply is relatively stable, but as in the whole city, planned outages and occasional failures occur, which also affects the assessment of reliability. Access to mobile and fixed internet in Szczecin is generally good, but in peripheral districts like Bukowo, the fiber optic offerings and speeds may be less consistent than in the center. The waste collection system operates according to municipal schedules, and no significant problems specific to Bukowo have been recorded in the collected materials. I assess the maintenance of infrastructure in the district as average — ad hoc works are being carried out, but there is a lack of comprehensive modernization of roads and sidewalks. Access and public transport to the center are less convenient than in central districts, which worsens residents' perception of infrastructure quality. Pedestrian safety after dark is reduced where lighting and continuous sidewalks are lacking. The absence of extensive, completed infrastructure investments means that improvements are currently gradual. Priority actions should include paving local roads, systematic replacement of sidewalks, and better lighting of critical sections. The implementation of projects from the SBO and minor repairs planned by ZDiTM should gradually improve comfort and safety, but changes are likely to be spread over time. Overall, Bukowo has the technical foundations for daily functioning but requires investment in road and pedestrian infrastructure to achieve a higher standard. For these reasons, a rating of 3 (average) reflects the current state and potential for improvement — with effective implementation of current plans, the rating could increase in the coming years.

1) Acoustic maps and spatial analysis indicate that Bukowo lies in a zone with low levels of road noise across most of the area; the main sources of noise (major arteries, port) are relatively distant. 2) The presence of a lake and scattered green areas serves as a natural acoustic buffer and improves the microclimate of the settlement. 3) The intensity of local traffic is low compared to the central districts of Szczecin, which translates to lower exposure to prolonged street noise. 4) The absence of large industrial zones directly adjacent to Bukowo minimizes the risk of industrial noise and strong local emissions. 5) Measurement data from GIOŚ do not have a dense station directly in Bukowo, so air quality assessment is partially based on neighboring stations and knowledge of emission source distribution — overall conditions are better than in the central and industrial parts of the city. 6) PM2.5/PM10 levels in Szczecin show seasonal deterioration during the heating season; Bukowo, as an area with more greenery, likely experiences lower concentrations than areas near industrial sources, but local seasonal deteriorations may still occur. 7) Street cleanliness is at a good level due to the activity of residents and interventions by the Municipal Guard, however, local reports indicate episodic problems with littering (trash near informal dumps). 8) Community-initiated cleaning actions demonstrate both resident awareness and the existence of minor cleanliness issues requiring ongoing attention. 9) Nighttime nuisances are limited — the lack of intense nightlife and major traffic routes reduces the risk of disturbances at night. 10) Possible sources of short-term noise include local roadworks and renovations — ZDiTM conducts periodic works that may temporarily raise noise levels. 11) The lack of updates to acoustic maps since 2019 means that some spatial conclusions have uncertainty; however, the transport layout of Bukowo has not undergone drastic changes, which confirms the maintenance of low noise levels. 12) Due to the limited number of air quality measurement stations in the immediate vicinity, I recommend checking current GIOŚ readings before making housing decisions — this is the only way to confirm short-term PM exceedances. 13) Residents have mainly reported issues related to local littering, rather than continuous noise or strong air pollution. 14) Bukowo also scores well in terms of access to recreational areas, which contributes to an improved subjective perception of air quality and acoustic comfort. 15) Compared to other districts, Bukowo ranks clearly better than industrial areas and the center, but slightly below the best outskirts and absolutely quiet peripheries (e.g., Osów, Pogodno, Zdroje). 16) Maintaining a rating of 5 reflects a very good environmental situation while keeping realistic reservations regarding local litter and seasonal increases in dust. 17) Practical recommendations: visit the neighborhood at different times (day/weekend/evening), check current GIOŚ readings and local community groups for the latest signals about

The number of listings, around 60 (according to data from Otodom/Morizon), places Bukowo in the average availability range of listings in Szczecin, meaning there are enough options to find alternatives, but without a large excess of choice. The structure of housing in Bukowo—a mix of single-family homes and low-rise multi-family buildings—enhances the variety of apartment types available on the market, which is beneficial for families looking for a home as well as individuals preferring smaller apartment sizes. Compared to the city center or large areas with developer activity (e.g., Międzyodrze), the number of listings is significantly lower, so the category of "high availability" is not justified. From the perspective of new investments, Bukowo has some projects, but it is not the main focus for developers in Szczecin, which limits the influx of fresh, large pools of apartments for sale or rent. The dynamism of the market in the city (average listing exposure time ~108 days) also translates to Bukowo—listings here typically do not circulate as intensively as in the center, which affects the moderate turnover. The variety of listings in terms of size and types (apartments in low-rise blocks, segments, houses) makes it easier to match an apartment to the needs of specific groups, but the choice of a specific standard or location within the district may be limited. In terms of ease of finding a suitable property, Bukowo offers a good chance for those looking for specific solutions (e.g., suburban house), but it is more challenging for those who want a wide comparison of prices and standards in a short time. The lack of a large influx of new developer apartments means that the used market dominates, and changes in supply are moderate. The impact of communication and local infrastructure on availability is moderate—Bukowo does not have as good public transport coverage as districts near the main tram lines, which may prolong the search process for those dependent on public transport. From an investor's perspective, demand may be stable, but the potential for quick turnover and finding a tenant is lower than in more urbanized districts. Data on vacancy rates were not specified for Bukowo in the sources, but generally, moderate vacancy rates are observed for the city, suggesting that there are no significant issues with an excess of unoccupied properties. The quality of the listings and their availability may also be subject to seasonal fluctuations and local market events, so the assessment is based on a snapshot of the data. Compared to other districts in the comparison, Bukowo ranks above areas with very low supply (e.g., Skolwin, Płonia-Śmierdnica-Jezierzyce), but below strongly developed and central parts of the city. Considering the number of listings, the variety of building types, moderate developer activity, and predictable but not fast turnover of listings, the most accurate assessment is 4—good availability. Ultimately, Bukowo is attractive for buyers looking for homes and

Based on SonarHome data, the median price per square meter in Bukowo is approximately 9,082 PLN, placing the district above the city median (~8,640 PLN/m²). This translates to a ~5% price advantage over the city average, and in the context of affordability assessment, Bukowo received a rating of 2 (more expensive than average). Based on criteria such as rent affordability, purchase availability, price stability, quality-to-price ratio, and housing cost burden relative to local incomes, I assign a rating of 2 on a scale of 1–6. Regarding rents, the overall market range for Szczecin was 2,500–4,000 PLN, and Bukowo typically ranks in the upper part of this range due to demand and apartment standards. For first-time buyers, higher prices mean a greater entry threshold (higher down payment and higher installments), which reduces the availability of this district for average households. The local market in 2024–2025 showed corrections, but Bukowo maintains moderate demand due to good infrastructure and location, which limits sharp price drops. In terms of stability and predictability, Bukowo is relatively stable—showing smaller fluctuations than in the most expensive premium segments, but larger than in the cheapest areas. The quality-to-price ratio is moderate: the district offers advantages (peace, access to services, green surroundings) that partially justify the higher rate per square meter, but not to a premium extent. The burden of housing costs relative to local incomes is somewhat higher than the city average, which affects availability for lower-income households. The housing offer includes multi-family apartments and single-family segments, but the choice of price options is narrower than in more diverse districts. For rental investors, Bukowo can be reasonable (steady demand from families), but the return rate will be lower than in cheaper districts with a lower entry cost. Short-term prospects suggest that prices will remain stable—no sharp decline is expected, but strong growth is also not anticipated. Compared to neighboring areas, Bukowe-Klęskowo is slightly cheaper (~8,707 PLN/m²), while Warszewo and Osów are significantly more expensive, placing Bukowo in the upper half of the price spectrum, but outside the most prestigious segment. For buyers with a limited budget, better choices will be areas rated 4–6, while for families seeking a compromise between quality and price, Bukowo can be an acceptable choice if the budget allows. In summary: Bukowo is not an affordable district—prices are relatively high compared to the city average, but the offer and location partially justify this premium, hence the rating of 2. Practical recommendation: individuals interested in purchasing should compare specific offers (street, standard, rent, building age) and consider cheaper alternatives in the neighborhood if affordability is the main criterion. If you wish, I can prepare a comparison of specific streets and offers in Bukowo as well as alternatives for a more granular assessment of

I assess Bukowo as a district with an average level of safety based on available sources and local reports. It is primarily a residential area, where most neighborhoods are perceived by residents as relatively calm. Official signals from the City Police Headquarters and Municipal Guard indicate a standard patrol grid, but there is a lack of public, detailed breakdown of crime statistics at the district level. Local residents report occasional cases of break-ins and petty thefts, which also appear in local media and on the National Threat Map. ZDiTM is modernizing street lighting in the city, which partially improves nighttime conditions; however, there is no clear evidence that all critical streets in Bukowo have been upgraded. Opinions from forums and comments from residents are a mix of assessments — some people feel safe, while others call for more frequent patrols and better lighting at pedestrian crossings. The presence of police stations and community officers is a neutral factor — it allows for relatively quick responses, but it is not intense enough to significantly reduce all reported issues. Systematic sources have not recorded intensified criminal phenomena typical of city centers (e.g., pickpockets in large tourist crowds). Nevertheless, reports of vandalism to infrastructure and incidents near parking lots lower the overall sense of safety in certain areas. Nighttime pedestrian accessibility is moderate — in well-lit parts of the district, the sense of safety increases, while in poorly lit areas, it decreases. The lack of precise data from the KMP and incomplete export of reports from the National Threat Map limits the ability to accurately assess crime trends. I recommend exporting reports from MMZB for Bukowo and requesting statistics from the KMP for the last 12 months to confirm hypotheses regarding break-ins and thefts. Until such verification, the assessment remains conservative and average. ZDiTM's actions regarding LED lighting and illumination should be compared with the locations of reports, which may indicate investment priorities. Local initiatives by residents and preventive programs (e.g., neighborhood patrols, community monitoring) can effectively reduce risks in critical areas. In practice, individuals considering moving to Bukowo should check specific streets in MMZB, ask neighbors, and pay attention to the distance to the nearest police station. Based on the available information, I assign Bukowo a rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6, which corresponds to an average level of safety with the potential for improvement following the implementation of preventive measures and lighting upgrades. This rating reflects the relative calm of most of the area, but also the presence of isolated incidents affecting the subjective sense of safety. Upon receiving detailed statistical data, the assessment should be verified and adjusted if necessary.

I base my observations on the collected context and official sources (ZDiTM, rozklad.szczecin.pl, and local reports). Bukowo is primarily served by bus lines; there is no extensive tram network here. The number of stops within the district is moderate, with stops concentrated along the main communication routes. The frequency of services is rated as average — during peak hours, availability is decent, but outside of peak times, services become less frequent. Direct connections to the city center exist, but they usually require longer travel times than from urban and tram-served areas. The quality of connections to other districts is moderate — reasonable transfers are possible at local hubs, but there is a lack of fast routes. The absence of a large tram hub in Bukowo limits the possibilities for efficient transfers and quick movement. Residents mainly report concerns regarding frequency and travel time, with extreme accessibility issues being less common. The fleet serving the lines in Bukowo is mixed; low-floor buses are encountered, but older vehicles are also present. The punctuality of peripheral lines can be worse than in the center — delays and irregularities in service occur. Accessibility for people with disabilities is gradually improving due to the modernization of stops, but not all sections are yet fully adapted. The travel time to key points in the city (center, train station) is average and often longer than from districts with better tram connections. The transport network allows for efficient travel to neighboring estates, making Bukowo functional for local needs. The lack of direct fast tram connections or SKM within the district reduces its overall transport attractiveness. Planned ticket-network integration actions and the development of SKM may improve agglomeration connections for Bukowo residents in the future. Compared to central districts and some western districts, Bukowo ranks in the middle. A rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6 reflects moderate stop accessibility, average frequency, and adequate but not optimal connections to the center. For those working in the center, commuting is feasible, but usually longer and often requires transfers. The greatest area for improvement is increasing frequency outside of peak hours and better connections to faster tram routes or SKM in the area. In summary, Bukowo has a functional but average public transport network with clear room for improvement.

The center of Szczecin has clear strong aesthetic points, especially in historic areas such as Wały Chrobrego, the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes, and the Old Town. Many tenement houses in the city center have been renovated thanks to municipal revitalization programs and loan funds, which significantly improves the appearance of facades. The presence of representative boulevards and parks (Jasne Błonia, Park Żeromskiego) enhances the integration of greenery with the built environment and positively affects the perception of the space. Projects such as the revitalization of Łasztownia and work on the riverside boulevards have the potential for significant aesthetic improvement in the coming years. Modernizations of sidewalks and LED lighting carried out by ZDiTM improve the evening aesthetic perception and sense of safety. At the same time, there are clear issues with urban coherence in the city center resulting from fragmented post-war development and gaps in the urban structure. Outside the main representative quarters, local neglect of facades and courtyards is visible, which lowers the overall aesthetic assessment. There is also a lack of a uniform color and aesthetic policy for new renovations and investments, leading to chaotic extensions and controversies (an example being the dispute over the color of the school facade). The quality of contemporary investments is varied — some buildings and new developments are well-designed, while others do not add aesthetic value and disrupt coherence. A significant advantage of the center is the high proportion of monuments and documented conservation activities by WKZ, which favor valuable renovations. Municipal programs and repair funds have already carried out a number of successful renovations of tenement houses (e.g., local examples on Łokietka and Żółkiewskiego streets), which is a positive trend. Urban greenery and the revaluation of parks are actively managed by the City Gardener's Office, which enhances the aesthetics of public spaces. However, the problem of vandalism and some neglect of infrastructure (lighting, fragments of sidewalks) remains visible in selected areas. The street aesthetics in the center also depend on the management of communities and tenement owners, leading to significant differences even in neighboring quarters. Looking at the criteria: architectural attractiveness and historical value are high here, while urban coherence and uniformity of new developments are moderate. The integration of greenery with buildings is better in the center than in many peripheral districts, although not uniformly everywhere. Considering the renovations, parks, and representative places, as well as the existing issues of fragmentation and chaotic new investments, the assessment should reflect the predominance of positives with significant reservations. Therefore, I assess the aesthetics of the buildings in the center as very good, but not perfect — it deserves a high rating due to numerous renovations and valuable public places. Further planning actions (e.g., the adoption of the General Plan) and the continuation of revitalization programs could raise this assessment even higher if they improve coherence and the quality of new investments. In summary, the center has great aesthetic potential and many successful

I rate the center of Szczecin a 6 (Excellent) in terms of the availability of trade and services. The city center and its immediate surroundings concentrate the largest shopping malls in the city (Galeria Kaskada, Galaxy, Turzyn), which provide a wide selection of chain stores, supermarkets, and service points. In practice, this means easy access to discount stores and supermarkets as well as specialized grocery shops. The gastronomic offer is very developed — from cafes and bars to restaurants with various culinary profiles and diverse price ranges. The center has a dense network of pharmacies, including those with extended hours, which improves the availability of medications outside standard hours. Banks, branches, and ATMs are common, and customers can choose from most of the major financial institutions present in Poland. Postal offices and courier points are located in the center, and Poczta Polska has several points here that ensure good access to postal services. Personal and professional services — hairdressers, beauty salons, laundries, tailors, medical offices — are widely represented and relatively easy to access. The availability of store and service hours is high — many points operate in the evenings, and some chains in malls have extended opening hours. A good public transport network (trams, buses) facilitates access and increases the real reach of services for residents of nearby neighborhoods as well. The favorable location of the center means that most daily needs can be met on foot. The diversity of trade includes not only chain stores but also specialized shops, boutiques, and niche service providers. Administrative and professional services (accounting offices, notaries, real estate agencies) are also easily accessible in the center. The presence of shopping malls acts like a magnet — in addition to stores, they also provide entertainment services such as cinemas and dining establishments. However, some downsides should be noted: higher prices in tourist areas and limited availability of free parking during peak hours. In some areas of the center, traffic and tourism can affect the comfort of using services. Nevertheless, in terms of the availability of assortment, opening hours, and the number of establishments, the Center is a leader in the city. For those who value a wide selection of services from daily shopping to specialized offerings, the center is a natural choice. The rating of 6 reflects both the density of commercial and service points and the quality of the infrastructure serving residents and visitors. Based on the gathered sources (mall maps, lists of pharmacies, ZDiTM schedules, and residents' opinions), the recommendation remains unequivocal — the Center has excellent availability of trade and services.

The center of Szczecin is the main cultural "engine" of the city: key institutions such as the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle, the Philharmonic, branches of the National Museum, and the main theaters are concentrated in the downtown area, significantly increasing the availability of high-quality events. The institutional offer is wide — from theatrical performances, through philharmonic programs, to museum exhibitions and screenings in art cinemas. The frequency of seasonal and cyclical events (film festivals, music reviews, temporary exhibitions) is high, creating a continuous cultural calendar. The center also hosts independent stages, clubs, and smaller concert venues, which increases program diversity and attracts various audience groups. The availability of cinemas and theaters is very good for residents of the center and those commuting from other districts; transportation and the concentration of facilities facilitate access to the offerings. The current network of event information (VisitSzczecin, institutional calendars) makes it easier to find attractions, although residents point to the need for better coordination of promotions. Social culture and local activity are stronger in the center than in the peripheries — there are book clubs, thematic meetings, and non-governmental organizations conducting regular educational activities. The music scene includes both classical performances and alternative productions; however, the club scene at the level of large music centers is less developed, which is a noticeable limitation of nightlife. The center also features tourist and cultural sites (Old Town, Wały Chrobrego), which enhance the attractiveness of public spaces and the number of seasonal events. Cultural infrastructure is concentrated and relatively well-maintained — modernizations and investments (Philharmonic, museum renovations) positively impact the quality of programs. Independent culture and grassroots projects are developing, but their scale and reach are smaller than those of municipal institutions, which limits the full diversity of offerings. Despite the large number of events, some residents express the need for a more diverse and "nightlife" cultural scene and better accessibility of events for residents of the peripheries. The mapping tool used in the study did not unambiguously assign specific addresses (e.g., Philharmonic, Castle, Teatr Pleciuga) to auxiliary units; however, the collected sources clearly locate these institutions in the area of the Center/Downtown. Considering the wide range of institutions, frequent events, strong institutional centers, and the growing number of independent projects, the Center deserves a rating of "very good" (5). To achieve the highest rating (6), further strengthening of club life at the intercity level, even greater program diversity (especially in experimental offerings), and better integration and accessibility of events for residents of all districts would be needed.

The city center has several large, well-recognized urban parks — Jasne Błonia, Park Kasprowicza, and Park Żeromskiego — which create green axes in the downtown area. The boulevards along the Oder River provide an important recreational corridor for walking, running, and water activities. The district also has a relatively high number of playgrounds, small architecture, and sports facilities available within short distances for residents. The pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in the center is fairly developed and benefits from city-wide efforts to expand cycling routes. The cycling network in the city (ZDiTM) introduces improvements that enhance accessibility to the center for cyclists, although most of the work pertains to the entire city. The variety of recreational offerings (parks, boulevards, sports fields, outdoor gyms) in the center is high and well meets the needs of walkers, runners, and families. Despite a good base, residents report concerns regarding the maintenance quality of some green areas (lawns, benches, trash bins). Issues of safety and lighting in certain park areas can also be problematic, affecting comfort during evening use. The dense urban development limits the presence of private greenery and forces a concentration of recreation in public parks. In practice, the distances to the nearest parks in the center are short, which positively impacts accessibility for most residents. Large urban parks also serve event and integration functions, increasing the attractiveness of the downtown area as a place for recreation. Compared to suburban districts or areas near Puszcza Bukowa, the center has fewer forested areas or large natural spaces, but compensates for this with a network of parks and boulevards. City programs like "Parks for Szczecinians" and investments in playgrounds and revitalizations improve the situation, even in the downtown area. Despite the investments, there is a need to create smaller "pocket" parks in densely built-up parts of the center. The availability of sports facilities is good; however, their distribution mainly concentrates around the main parks and the riverfront corridors. From the perspective of families with children and active individuals, the center offers very good conditions for daily recreation. Seniors benefit from the available benches, but better amenities regarding lighting and small infrastructure (toilets, barrier-free paths) are needed. Residents' opinions are mixed — many praises for the accessibility and location of parks, but criticism for maintenance and safety in some areas. Overall, the center has a strong public network of green spaces and recreational infrastructure, but with clear areas for improvement in maintenance quality and equitable distribution of greenery. Based on the above factors, I rate the center as 5 — "Very Good" in the category of Greenery and Recreation.

The center of Szczecin presents a relatively high standard of technical infrastructure, especially on the main communication routes and areas undergoing revitalization. ZDiTM and the city office regularly carry out road surface repairs in the downtown area, which improves traffic flow and the quality of public transport. Sidewalks in the renovated areas are often replaced and adapted for pedestrians, but side streets and courtyards still show local defects and unevenness that require repairs. Street lighting in the center is generally good — city projects and SBO foresee further lighting of pedestrian routes and modernization of lamps. As a result, the feeling of safety after dark is relatively high, although additional investments are needed in small enclaves. The water and sewage network is mostly connected to the city infrastructure and is undergoing phased modernization carried out by ZWiK; however, local works may cause temporary inconveniences. Electrical power in the center is usually stable, although there are occasional outages and planned maintenance shutdowns, which should be kept in mind for demanding applications. The availability of fast fixed internet (fiber optic) and 5G coverage from major operators is at a very good level, which supports remote work and digital services. The waste management system operates according to city schedules and segregation rules; it is important for residents to check the specific schedule for their street. Residents of the center praise access to services, transportation, and urban life, while also pointing out issues with noise, lack of parking spaces, and local sidewalk defects. Parking and traffic organization problems indirectly affect the perception of the quality of road infrastructure. Overall maintenance of the infrastructure is active — many projects from the Civic Budget and city programs focus on sidewalks, lighting, and public spaces. However, the pace of repairs and modernization can be uneven and does not always keep up with residents' expectations on all streets in the center. Positive changes are visible, but there are specific areas requiring additional interventions: side surfaces, pedestrian routes, and additional lighting points. The risk of short-term inconveniences related to repairs is moderate and should be taken into account when planning relocations or investments. Considering the strengths of the center (main roads, access to utilities, quality of lighting and telecommunications) and its weaknesses (side streets, local sidewalk defects, parking), I rate the infrastructure of the Centrum district as 4 on a scale of 1–6 (Good).

I rate the Centrum district a 2 on a scale of 1 to 6. This rating results from a multidimensional analysis of acoustic maps, air measurements, and residents' reports within the research context. The city's acoustic maps (Geoportal, 2019) indicate that the central area is among the most exposed to road noise. The main arteries running through the city center — including al. Wojska Polskiego, ul. Piłsudskiego, ul. Mieszka I, and the vicinity of Plac Kościuszki — generate consistently high noise levels. Additionally, the presence of intense tram traffic and frequent roadworks increases the levels of impulsive and background noise. The Old Town and the areas around the center are characterized by heightened nighttime activity related to venues and tourism, which worsens the quality of sleep for residents. Regarding air quality, available GIOŚ stations show that PM2.5 and PM10 values deteriorate during the heating season, and in the center, traffic emissions exacerbate the background pollution levels. There is a lack of a dense network of sensors that would allow for precise differentiation of air quality between the streets of the center, making a full assessment of micro-areas difficult. The cleanliness of the streets in the center is variable: the city conducts cleaning campaigns and interventions by the Municipal Guard, but the intensity of traffic, tourism, and parking issues generate chronic littering hotspots. Residents' reports often include complaints about nighttime noise, parking difficulties, and nuisances related to renovations and deliveries. Compared to peripheral neighborhoods (e.g., Pogodno, Bukowe-Klęskowo, Zdroje), Centrum performs significantly worse in terms of quietness and air quality. The lack of larger, continuous green buffers in the city center limits the possibilities for natural absorption of noise and dust. Road investments and traffic organization (information from ZDiTM) can temporarily worsen acoustic conditions in areas affected by construction work. Local emissions from heating and small gastronomy are also significant, as they increase local dust concentrations during low temperatures. For those considering living in Centrum, I recommend choosing apartments facing the courtyard or the rear elevation and checking GIOŚ readings on current air quality. Visits at different times of the day — in the evening and at night — are also useful to assess the actual noise levels. Despite its drawbacks, the center has good communication and service infrastructure, which is a compromise for many residents. However, from the perspective of noise, air pollution, and overall cleanliness of the urban environment, Centrum remains a burdened area. Thus, the rating of 2 reflects the combined impact of high road noise, nighttime nuisances, and seasonal deteriorations in air quality, alongside the variable quality of street maintenance. I recommend thoroughly verifying the specific street and apartment and monitoring current environmental readings before making a housing decision.

The Centrum district shows a clearly increased supply of apartments — the preliminary reading is around 261 sales offers, placing it in the high availability category. In the Śródmieście area and its immediate vicinity, larger development projects are also concentrated (including the Międzyodrze and Stare Miasto areas), which increases future supply. The offerings in Centrum are diverse: there are tenement houses, apartments in blocks, new development investments, as well as lofts and apartments — this positively affects the ability to find various sizes and standards of apartments. The availability of rental apartments should also be relatively good due to the large number of sales listings and the activity of the secondary market, although specific rental numbers require clarification. Good public transport and a central location increase the ease of finding an apartment suitable for various groups (students, professionals, families). At the same time, Centrum often features more expensive locations, so nominal availability does not always translate into affordability for all buyers and renters. The average exposure time for listings in the city (approximately ~108 days) suggests moderate turnover — supply is good, but demand also exists, which may prolong searches in the most desirable locations. Developers concentrating investments in Śródmieście increase the prospect of further supply growth, which is a plus for availability in the medium term. The diversity of building types also means that it is easier to find an apartment with specific features (e.g., high ceilings, tenement house, modern estate). In some parts of Centrum (e.g., Stare Miasto, Międzyodrze), competition for attractive offers can be very high, which reduces the real chance of finding a "bargain" without quick action. The level of vacancies and vacancy rates in Centrum itself are not directly provided in the materials, but the observed large volume of offers indicates healthy turnover and a certain surplus of available premises. It would also be necessary to clarify the division of Śródmieście into sub-areas (North/West) to obtain more accurate measures of availability in micro-locations. Overall, Centrum offers a very good selection and diversity, supported by development investments and good connectivity. Limiting factors include higher prices, strong competition for the best premises, and moderate exposure time for listings. For these reasons, I assess the availability of real estate in Centrum at a level of 5 (very good) — a large and diverse supply, but not absolutely the best possible due to price barriers and competition.

The center of Szczecin has a median price of around 8,586 PLN/m², which is practically equal to the city average (~8,640 PLN/m²). This translates to an affordability rating of average — it is neither clearly cheap nor exceptionally expensive. The district features a wide price range: from inexpensive, renovation-required apartments in tenement houses to more expensive, renovated apartments. Thanks to this diversity, buyers with different budgets can find something for themselves, which positively impacts market availability. On the other hand, high demand for central locations and attractiveness for short-term rentals keep upward price pressure. Average rental rates in the center usually fall within the upper part of the city range, which reduces affordability for tenants. In terms of price stability, the center exhibits moderate predictability — demand is steady, but the fluctuations in listings observed in 2024/2025 increase short-term volatility. Value for money heavily depends on the specific property; well-renovated apartments close to urban attractions often provide better returns on investment. Apartments requiring renovation, on the other hand, offer the potential for a lower capital entry with a higher labor input. For buyers in the primary and secondary markets, the center offers a wide range of options, increasing the chances of finding a reasonable offer. From the perspective of housing cost burden relative to local incomes, the center is positioned close to the city average, meaning it is average in terms of financial accessibility. This means that purchasing in the center will require a similar down payment and loan installments as in other parts of Szczecin. For investors, the center is attractive due to steady rental demand, but higher rents and competition may raise entry costs. In the short term, price corrections may occur, creating buying opportunities; in the long term, the central location is likely to maintain stable demand and will not be perceived as "cheap." In summary, the price accessibility of the center is average — it does not stand out positively as a cheap option but offers a large number of different possibilities. Recommendation for buyers: carefully analyze the technical condition and renovation potential of tenement houses, as price differences often reflect the need for investments. For tenants: expect higher rental rates than the city average and consider locations slightly further from the main attractions if the budget is limited. The long-term risk is the increasing demand for short-term rentals, which may limit the availability of apartments for long-term rent. Based on this, I rate the affordability of the Center at 3 on a scale of 1–6 — the rating reflects moderate accessibility and high qualitative-price variability.

The assessment is based on collected material from the Municipal Police Headquarters, Municipal Guard, ZDiTM, as well as local media and the National Map of Threats. In the center, there is a relatively higher intensity of reports concerning petty crimes (pickpocketing, thefts, vandalism) and incidents related to traffic and entertainment activities, which lowers the sense of security. At the same time, the center is the area with the highest concentration of police and municipal guard patrols, as well as a higher saturation of urban monitoring, which improves the response of services and deters some criminal behaviors. ZDiTM is modernizing lighting in many critical locations, which increases nighttime safety in the completed areas; however, vandalizing infrastructure (e.g., cutting cables) weakens the full effects of these investments. The central area is intensively used at night (clubs, bars, night transport), which increases the risk of incidents outside daytime hours and affects pedestrians' sense of safety after dark. Residents and local media regularly report the need for more frequent patrols at specific points (parking lots, crossings, entrances to tenement houses), indicating the presence of local "hotspots." The lack of a uniform, public report on crime statistics broken down by areas limits the precision of the assessment — it is recommended to obtain data from MMZB and request 12-month statistics from KMP. Despite the higher level of reports, the availability of services and the speed of intervention in the center are usually better than in the outskirts, which partially balances the risk. Pedestrian infrastructure and lighting in the main shopping thoroughfares are mostly better than in side streets and courtyards, hence the variation within the center itself. The tourist and entertainment character of part of the center promotes the occurrence of petty crime, but also guarantees greater visibility and presence of people, which sometimes improves safety through "natural surveillance." Identified problems include pickpocketing, incidents in public transport at night, burglaries in selected tenement houses, and acts of vandalism against infrastructure. Preventive measures (increased patrols during public events, lighting upgrades) are being implemented, but their scope does not always cover all critical locations. Therefore, the assessment of 3 (average) reflects the balance between the higher frequency of incidents and the relatively good availability of services and ongoing infrastructure investments. I recommend supplementing the assessment with: exporting reports from the National Map of Threats for specific streets/intersections in the center and official KMP statistics broken down by police precincts — this will allow for a more confident upward or downward adjustment of the assessment. In practice, for residents and visitors: maintain standard precautions (be mindful of personal belongings in crowds, secure cars/bicycles), avoid poorly lit side passages at night, and report observations to MMZB so that services can optimize patrols.

The center of Szczecin has one of the densest networks of tram and bus stops in the city, resulting in short walking distances to the nearest stop. The number of available lines passing through the center is high, providing great flexibility in route selection. The frequency of services during peak hours is at a very good level — many lines run every few minutes. Outside of peak hours, the availability of services remains good, with regular runs throughout most of the day. The center serves as a key transfer hub, with easy connections to almost all districts of the city. The main station and the area around Kościuszko Square/the city center are important exchange points between urban and regional transport. Inter-district connections through the center are convenient due to the developed tram network and dense bus grid. The rolling stock on the lines serving the center is often modern and low-floor, which improves travel comfort. The ticketing system (Szczecin Agglomeration Card, e-payments) is well implemented and facilitates the use of transport. Information about schedules and temporary changes is regularly published by ZDiTM and rozklad.szczecin.pl, which helps passengers plan their journeys. Despite these advantages, typical urban problems do occur: overcrowding during peak hours and occasional drops in punctuality. Track renovations and route reorganizations can temporarily worsen service quality in some areas of the center, which is often raised in local media and by residents. Accessibility for people with disabilities is gradually improving thanks to the modernization of platforms and the replacement of rolling stock, but not all stops are yet fully adapted. The center also offers relatively good night connections and alternative routes in emergency situations, which increases the system's resilience. Integration with regional connections (Polregio, SKM) is possible due to the location of the station and is being developed to some extent, further enhancing the center's utility as a hub. Residents' opinions included in the summary report are generally positive towards the center, while also pointing out inconveniences during renovations. Short travel times from the center to most points in the city are a significant advantage over peripheral districts. Considering the number of stops, frequency, quality of connections to other districts, and the role in Szczecin's transport network, the center deserves the highest rating on a scale of 1–6.

Drzetowo-Grabowo is a district with a mixed character: it features pre-war tenement houses, post-war blocks, as well as parcels and facilities of an industrial nature, which gives it architectural diversity. On the positive side, there are restored fragments and some facades that showcase the aesthetic potential of this part of the city. However, many blocks still exhibit neglected courtyards, peeling plaster, and facades in need of renovation, which lowers the overall aesthetic level. Urbanistically, the district is fragmented — remnants of industrial functions and gaps in the compact development disrupt the coherence of the street layout and public spaces. The integration of greenery is sporadic: there are small squares and individual plantings, but there is a lack of a continuous, well-designed network of green public spaces connecting tenement houses and residential areas. In terms of heritage value, there are elements worth protecting, but their potential is not systematically utilized — some buildings require conservation support. The quality of renovations can be uneven — where revitalization programs have been implemented, improvements are visible, but the scale of intervention is limited and does not cover the entire district. New investments appear sporadically and are not always coordinated with the historical and urban context of the place. Lighting and the quality of street infrastructure negatively affect aesthetic perception in some areas, especially in post-industrial regions and along neglected communication routes. Residents and the local forum point to a strong qualitative disparity between neighboring blocks — which is confirmed by field observations and source materials. The revitalization potential is real, especially considering municipal facade renewal programs and projects along the Oder River, but Drzetowo-Grabowo is not currently a priority comparable to the center or villa areas. The lack of a coherent aesthetic policy for new developments leads to chaotic extensions and a heterogeneous palette of facades. As a result, the aesthetics of the district oscillate between positive enclaves and areas requiring urgent conservation and order restoration actions. A rating of 3 (average) reflects this balance: the district is neither entirely neglected nor particularly representative. Key recommendations include focused facade renewal programs, the organization of post-industrial areas through adaptation or reclamation, and systematic plantings connecting green enclaves. In the long term, a more coherent planning policy and conservation support could significantly enhance the aesthetics of Drzetowo-Grabowo, but at the current stage, the visual effects remain average and strongly localized.

Drzetowo-Grabowo primarily offers a basic set of neighborhood services, placing the district in the category of average availability of trade and services. The district has both chain and local grocery stores, but there is not a large concentration of discount stores or supermarkets comparable to the city center or Turzyn. The dining options are limited — small pubs and bars dominate, and there is a lack of a significant number of restaurants and cafes with diverse offerings. Pharmacies are present, usually in a few locations, providing basic access to pharmaceutical services. Bank branches and ATMs are available, but their density is lower than in the city center; residents typically visit larger bank branches in shopping malls. The number of Polish Post offices in the district may be limited, but the city overall has dispersed postal points, so availability is moderate. Personal services (hairdressers, beauticians, small workshops) are available in the form of neighborhood points, although the selection of specialized salons is somewhat smaller than in better urbanized neighborhoods. The lack of large shopping centers within the district reduces the availability of a wide range of stores and services in the immediate vicinity. Residents often take advantage of good access to neighboring shopping areas (Galeria Kaskada, Turzyn) and the city center, which partially compensates for local shortcomings. Public transport (ZDiTM) provides connections to key points in the city, but the availability and frequency of services affect the convenience of using services outside the district. The opening hours of service points are typical for neighborhoods — most stores operate during standard hours, and there are fewer 24-hour pharmacies or shops. The quality of commercial and service infrastructure is adequate for the residential profile of the district — functional but not overly developed. Compared to neighborhoods like Pogodno, Turzyn, or the City Center, Drzetowo-Grabowo has less variety in dining and cultural offerings. However, compared to industrial peripheries (Skolwin, Stołczyn), the district performs better in terms of access to basic services. Chain discount stores may be available in the immediate vicinity, but they do not create a concentration of points in the district. For those who value proximity to a variety of restaurants, banks, and specialty shops, Drzetowo-Grabowo will require trips to the center. For families and individuals looking for a quiet neighborhood with access to basic services, the district is sufficient and practical. The potential for the development of commercial offerings depends on investment plans and spatial development — currently, there are no preliminary indications of large commercial investments within the district. Overall, the balance of service availability is neutral — sufficient for daily needs but requiring the use of external shopping centers for a wider selection. Based on this, I recommend a rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6, corresponding to average availability of trade and services.

I assess Drzetowo-Grabowo as moderately developed in terms of culture and entertainment. The district has smaller district centers, libraries, and local cultural initiatives that provide a basic educational and entertainment offer for residents. Some areas are undergoing revitalization processes, which creates potential for new event spaces and social activities. However, there is a lack of large theater stages, city-wide galleries, museums, or a permanent art cinema — such institutions are concentrated in the city center and the Old Town. The club and nightlife offerings in Drzetowo-Grabowo are limited; residents usually choose the city center or Turzyn in search of commercial entertainment. The frequency and scale of cultural events organized directly in the district are moderate and depend on seasonal projects and the activities of local associations. However, transportation access is good, which compensates for some shortcomings — easy access to the Castle, Philharmonic, and cinemas in the center allows residents to take advantage of the city's broader offerings. There are also occasional outdoor events and neighborhood initiatives that positively impact local cultural life. However, there is a lack of a cohesive, recognizable integrative space at the district level where regular cycles of concerts, exhibitions, or film screenings could take place. Independent and alternative culture is less represented than in the center, although revitalizations may create new opportunities for such initiatives. Educational programs and offers for families and children are available but limited in number — some educational activities are carried out by libraries and cultural centers. Therefore, the quality and diversity of programming are average: basic forms are present, but there is a lack of a wide spectrum of events and professional stages. The potential of the district lies in post-industrial areas and access to the river, which, if properly utilized, could become venues for festivals and outdoor attractions. A weaker point is also the marketing and coordination of local events — many initiatives do not reach a wide audience beyond the regular groups of residents. From a resident's perspective: Drzetowo-Grabowo is a convenient district to live in with access to basic cultural offerings and easy access to the center, but a person looking for a rich, daily cultural life will have to rely on urban infrastructure outside the district. Recommendations for improvement include developing small stages and clubs, activating revitalized spaces for events, better coordination of the local events calendar, and supporting independent initiatives. In light of the above, I give a rating of 3 — the district has solid foundations and development potential, but currently does not offer a cultural richness comparable to the city center.

Drzetowo-Grabowo is a district with a mixed character, predominantly featuring urban development and neighborhood greenery instead of large landscape parks. In the analyzed material, the district was classified together with Pomorzany and Turzyn as an area with neighborhood parks and sports fields, indicating a decent basic recreational infrastructure. However, the lack of extensive urban or forest parks in the immediate vicinity makes the green space offer less attractive for those seeking larger areas for running or long walks. The quality and maintenance of green areas in this part of the city have been raised by residents as problematic — there are comments about the need for modernization and better maintenance of small architectural elements. There are several playgrounds and sports fields, which positively affects recreational accessibility for families, but their equipment and condition vary. Bicycle infrastructure is being developed at the city level, but within Drzetowo-Grabowo itself, there has not been a significant density of coherent bike paths within the district. Pedestrian access to nearby boulevards or larger parks in the city center is moderate — not the worst, but not as convenient as in the downtown, greener parts of Szczecin. The variety of recreational activities (outdoor gyms, sports zones, running trails) is limited and more often appears in the form of individual investments rather than comprehensive zones. Residents' opinions are mixed: they appreciate access to basic facilities but point out deficiencies in terms of safety, lighting, and continuity of greenery. In terms of green coverage per m² per resident, the district ranks below the greenest areas (Pogodno, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn) but above the extremely urbanized parts of the center without neighborhood greenery. Access to allotment gardens and riverside areas is limited and depends on specific parts of the district. City programs (e.g., "Parks for Szczecinians") improve the situation in the long term, but the impact of these actions on Drzetowo-Grabowo seems to be moderate so far. The potential for improvement is clear: expanding pocket parks, better maintenance of existing facilities, and supplementing bike paths could significantly enhance the evaluation. Considering all criteria — the number and size of greenery, maintenance quality, availability of playgrounds and sports fields, bicycle infrastructure, variety of activities, and resident satisfaction — I assess the district as average in terms of greenery and recreation. A score of 3 reflects the fact that basic recreational needs are met, but there are missing features that would allow for a higher rating, such as extensive green areas, a coherent network of bike paths, or high standards and consistent maintenance of facilities. The indicated remedial actions have relatively precise possibilities for implementation at the local level and could raise the score in the coming years.

Drzetowo-Grabowo ranks at an average level compared to other districts of Szczecin. The quality of road surfaces is varied — main routes and access roads are maintained and occasionally renovated, while side streets show wear and unevenness that require repairs. Sidewalks are sometimes neglected: there are gaps, concrete patches, and a lack of continuity in the surface, which lowers pedestrian comfort and safety. Street lighting generally functions correctly in more urbanized areas, but residents report darker sections of the neighborhood and the need for better illumination at pedestrian crossings. The water and sewage network is connected to the municipal system and is generally reliable, although local modernization works by ZWiK can cause occasional disruptions and earthworks. Electrical supply is relatively stable, but sporadic outages and planned shutdowns occur just like in other parts of the city. Access to the internet and telecommunications is good due to the coverage of fixed and mobile operators, but the availability of fiber optic connections depends on the specific street and building. The waste management system operates within municipal schedules, although residents sometimes report issues with timeliness or infrequent collection of certain fractions. The maintenance of greenery and public order is moderate — there are well-kept areas and neglected areas, which affects the overall perception of infrastructure quality. Investment indicators (SBO projects, ZDiTM announcements) show that smaller works (sidewalks, lighting, parking spaces) are planned and implemented, but the scale of actions does not keep pace with the needs of the entire district. Traffic organization and public transport availability are acceptable, but sometimes require adjustments, especially concerning pedestrian safety and parking. Residents' opinions from local forums and Reddit indicate regular reports of issues with sidewalks, lighting, and cleanliness, confirming the need for further action. Compared to leafy districts (e.g., Pogodno), Drzetowo-Grabowo has a less cohesive standard of infrastructure. On the other hand, the presence of renovation plans and the activity of applicants from the Civic Budget provide grounds for expecting gradual improvement. Recommendation: continue prioritizing sidewalk repairs, better lighting in critical areas, and modernization of local surfaces, as well as monitor the needs for fiber optic networks to improve telecommunications service quality. The final rating of 3 reflects an average level — sufficient for daily functioning but requiring significant improvements to achieve a high standard of technical infrastructure.

The assessment is based on the city's acoustic maps (2019) as well as general air quality measurements and residents' reports, which indicate intermediate levels. The district has mixed development: bolder communication routes and multi-family buildings along the main streets, and quieter internal streets. Areas bordering more frequented urban arteries show higher levels of road noise, especially during peak hours. The internal parts of the estate, on the other hand, are relatively quiet and characterized by lower traffic intensity. Unlike parts of Prawobrzeże and port-industrial zones, Drzetowo-Grabowo is not directly exposed to intense industrial noise. The air quality in this part of the city has a typical urban background character — dependent on road traffic and the heating season, with possible increases in PM2.5/PM10 levels in winter according to readings from the GIOŚ station. The acoustic maps from 2019 and field observations suggest emission levels within a moderate range. The cleanliness of the streets is at a standard level for urban districts: regular municipal cleaning and civic actions reduce littering, but local spots near squares or curbs can be neglected. Nighttime disturbances occur less frequently than in the center or the Old Town, but occasional sources of noise (traffic, renovation work, local events) can affect residents' comfort. The presence of tram communication and intensive bus services generates a constant, though not extreme, level of noise along the routes. Green areas and squares are present in some places and serve as partial acoustic buffers where available. The lack of a dense network of local air quality sensors limits the accuracy of the assessment of the air microclimate on individual streets. The context of road investments and renovations may periodically increase noise disturbances in certain locations. Compared to districts with a high share of green areas (e.g., Bukowe-Klęskowo, Pogodno), Drzetowo-Grabowo performs worse, but it is better than port-industrial areas (e.g., Skolwin, Śmierdnica). Residents sensitive to noise are advised to choose apartments facing courtyards and to ensure good acoustic insulation of windows. I recommend checking the current GIOŚ readings before making a decision to move and visiting the area at different times of the day and night. There is potential for improvement through local cleaning actions and possible solutions to reduce noise along the arteries. In summary, the rating of 3 reflects a balance between moderate disturbances related to traffic and the absence of strong industrial sources, along with the presence of green fragments — a typical "average" level for many urban neighborhoods in Szczecin.

Based on the available context, Drzetowo-Grabowo has offers in the market, but there is no confirmed, specific number of listings in the collected study. The preliminary source only indicates that there is a need to clarify the metrics for this district. The lack of the number of offers limits the possibility of assigning a rating higher than average. The district is relatively close to the center and large areas with high supply (e.g., Pomorzany, Śródmieście), which suggests a moderate level of availability. The building structure in Drzetowo-Grabowo includes older multi-family buildings and small housing estates, which usually provides an average variety of offers. In the context of development, the document does not record significant, large projects concentrated in this district, which reduces the expected increase in supply in the short term. Due to the lack of information on the number of rental offers, it is difficult to accurately assess the number of available rental units. Based on general urban trends, I would expect moderate transactional activity and availability, but without significant advantages over other districts outside of Śródmieście. The diversity of apartment types (studios, 2-3 rooms, apartments) is likely moderate — used apartments dominate, with few new investments. The ease of finding a suitable unit may be average: not as difficult as in areas with very low supply, but also not comparable to regions with large volumes of offers. The lack of data on vacancy rates and exposure time limits the precision of the market liquidity assessment in this district. The proximity of well-connected districts may positively influence availability and interest from buyers/renters. However, without a confirmed number of listings, it cannot be said that availability is "good" or "very good" in terms of choice and diversity. I recommend supplementing the data by directly reading the results from Otodom/Morizon for Drzetowo-Grabowo and analyzing rental offers. Additionally, it is worth checking the presence of smaller investments and offers from local agencies that may not be fully visible in aggregates. If, after supplementing the metrics, it turns out that the volume of offers is similar to districts such as Pomorzany or Turzyn, the rating should be raised. Conversely, if the number of offers is low (e.g., below 50), then the rating should drop to 2 or 1. A rating of 3 reflects the current level of uncertainty and moderate expectations regarding supply in Drzetowo-Grabowo. In practical recommendations for seekers: I suggest monitoring listings weekly and considering neighboring districts for a greater selection. In summary: the current data indicates average availability, but it is necessary to clarify the metrics to provide a final rating.

The Drzetowo-Grabowo district has a median price of approximately 8,338 PLN/m² according to SonarHome, which places it slightly below the city median and gives it a moderate price advantage compared to the average in Szczecin. This means that prices are moderately affordable on a city scale, but they are neither among the cheapest nor the most expensive. From a buyer's perspective, the availability of apartments is good for individuals with average urban incomes. Compared to the cheapest areas (e.g., Skolwin, Golęcino-Gocław, Wielgowo-Sławociesze-Zdunowo), the entry barrier is higher, but lower than in premium areas like Osów or Warszewo. The market characterizes the district as "mixed," with parts undergoing revitalization, which may increase demand for more favorable locations within the district. Rental profitability is likely to be average—not as high as in very cheap locations, but also without premium rental rates in the center. Price stability seems moderate; reports from the NBP and observations from SonarHome indicate seasonality and corrections that also affect this part of the city. The quality-price ratio is favorable for renovated apartments or new finishes; offers in worse condition may require additional investments, which changes the real entry cost. The burden of housing costs relative to local incomes should be moderate and relatively balanced. The future affordability perspective depends on further revitalization efforts and infrastructure investments—if they progress, moderate price increases can be expected. The diversity of the offer is average: a mix of blocks from the PRL era, tenement houses, and a few new projects provides options between budget and mid-range offers. For first-time buyers, the district offers a reasonable compromise between cost and transportation accessibility to the center. For families, it is worth choosing specific streets and micro-locations, as attractiveness is dispersed within the district. For rental investors, the potential is moderate—there is demand, but not at the level of intense urban renting. From the perspective of market fairness and availability, Drzetowo-Grabowo performs well—there are no clear signs of speculative overheating. A downside is the lack of a clear discount compared to other cheaper areas—if the goal is maximum savings, it is better to consider the outskirts of the city. I assess the level of price risk as moderate; minor corrections in line with urban trends are expected. Overall, the price offer and availability of information (SonarHome, Otodom, Morizon) allow for reasonable purchase planning. Considering the above criteria—purchase availability, rental affordability, stability, and quality-to-price ratio—Drzetowo-Grabowo deserves a rating of 4 (Good Property Prices): good affordability, but without the characteristics of a very low price.

Drzetowo-Grabowo is a mixed-use district in terms of building density and traffic intensity, which translates to a moderate level of reports concerning crime and vandalism. Available working sources indicate that the number of reports in this district is average compared to other areas of Szczecin; however, there is a lack of a public, comprehensive list of statistics from the KMP broken down by district. The presence of the Police and Municipal Guard in Szczecin is generally well organized — the network of police stations and district officers, along with the declared 24/7 patrols by the Municipal Guard, positively impacts the sense of security, but there is no evidence that Drzetowo-Grabowo receives excessive patrol reinforcements beyond the city standard. ZDiTM is conducting lighting modernization programs (replacement with LED and additional lighting at crossings), which improves nighttime safety on the streets covered by these investments; however, in the context of the district, it has been pointed out that some sections of sidewalks require additional lighting. Acts of vandalism against lighting infrastructure (e.g., cable cuts) are a signal of weakened modernization effects and may periodically lower nighttime safety in the area. Local media and forums do not highlight Drzetowo-Grabowo as a main crime "hotspot" — more frequent reports appear for the city center, Old Town, or selected areas of the right bank. Residents' opinions collected in the survey indicate a demand for better lighting of crossings and sidewalks, as well as more frequent patrols in critical points of the district. The lack of a uniform, public compilation of district statistics means that the assessment is partially based on MMZB, KMP communications, and media reports, which is a limitation of the analysis. Nighttime walkability and the ability to move around the district can be rated as moderate — in well-lit areas, the sense of security is satisfactory, while it decreases in poorly lit areas. The risk of petty crimes (thefts, vandalism, break-ins to basements/cars) exists, but there are no signals of intensified organized crime or a wave of robberies typical of districts with low ratings. The availability of emergency services and response times within the urban boundaries of Szczecin do not indicate significant delays in Drzetowo-Grabowo compared to other parts of the city. Municipal initiatives such as the civic budget and MMZB reports provide residents with tools to improve safety (e.g., lighting), but the process of implementing projects can be gradual. In light of the available information, I recommend continuing the modernization of lighting and prioritizing the illumination of sidewalks and crossings in places indicated by residents. I also suggest exporting reports from the National Map of Threats for Drzetowo-Grabowo and requesting KMP statistics broken down by police precinct to verify current crime rates. In terms of prevention, a good step would be to increase patrols in the evening hours in sections with a higher number of reports and to conduct informational campaigns on property security.

Drzetowo-Grabowo has a relatively dense network of tram and bus stops, especially along the main communication routes. The district is served by several tram and bus lines that provide direct connections to the city center. During peak hours, the frequency of trams is high, allowing for convenient access to the center. Outside of peak times, the frequency decreases, but it still remains better than in most peripheral areas of the city. Drzetowo-Grabowo has good connections with neighboring districts such as Pomorzany, Turzyn, and Łękno, which facilitates transfers and travel between districts. There are transfer hubs and loops in the area that improve accessibility and travel flexibility. The travel time to the center is competitive and, in many cases, shorter than traveling by car during off-peak hours. However, residents report occasional punctuality issues, especially during track renovations and temporary traffic organization changes. Renovations on routes in the Pomorzany area also affect services in Drzetowo-Grabowo, temporarily worsening comfort. The fleet on the lines serving the district is largely low-floor and relatively new, which increases accessibility for people with mobility limitations. However, not all stops and platforms are fully modernized, which can be a hindrance when boarding. The ticketing system (SKA) and integration with mobile applications make using public transport easier. Night and weekend connections are available, but their frequency is lower than in the center. Passenger information is usually sufficient, but route changes related to renovations require monitoring announcements from ZDiTM. Compared to the right-bank and more peripheral districts, Drzetowo-Grabowo performs well in terms of line density and travel time. The district is not the most burdened by tram traffic, which translates to relatively comfortable travel conditions. The main weaknesses are temporary disruptions during track work and inadequately adjusted platforms in some places. Considering the number of stops, service frequency, quality of connections to the center and other districts, residents' opinions, and fleet availability, I rate the public transport service in Drzetowo-Grabowo as very good. Hence, the rating is 5/6 — a solid and comfortable transport network with a few points for improvement, mainly related to infrastructure and management of renovations.

Dąbie stands out with a strong landscape asset: the proximity to the lake provides good views, a natural environment, and potential for waterfront public spaces, which positively affects the aesthetic perception of the district. Architecturally, the area is a mix of multi-family housing (often post-war blocks) and single-family homes, which offers moderate diversity but also a lack of a clear, representative character of the buildings. The condition of the facades is uneven — there are renovated buildings and well-maintained houses, but also sections with neglected facades and courtyards, which lowers the overall aesthetic rating. Urbanistically, the district does not have as clearly cohesive a historical grid as Pogodno or the Old Town; the layout of the buildings is typical for post-war estates with fragmented public spaces. The greenery present around the lake and in the vicinity of the estates integrates with the buildings and improves the comfort of the space, however, the plantings and the quality of public spaces can be inconsistent in places. There is a lack of representative facades of historic buildings or high-quality architecture on a large scale, which limits the historical and cultural value in the aesthetic assessment. New investments and potential revitalizations of the waterfront offer great opportunities for improving aesthetics, but their scale and pace of implementation will determine future growth in ratings. In terms of maintaining public infrastructure, typical peripheral problems arise: local neglect of sidewalks, lighting, and small architecture, which affect the nighttime aesthetic perception. The integration of greenery with buildings is average — the natural environment of the lake helps, but the courtyard areas are not always organized or attractively arranged. The diversity of building types offers potential for interesting architectural contrasts, but without coordination of renovations and an aesthetic color policy, inconsistencies arise. Overall readability and spatial coherence are at a good level, but not outstanding on the city scale. Dąbie performs well in terms of landscape and recreational values, but less so as a district with uniform, high-quality facades. In the short term, realistic municipal actions (revitalization programs, funding for facades, improving lighting and order in public spaces) could raise the rating to level 5. A rating of 4 reflects the balance between the strong potential resulting from the lakeside location and the current technical and aesthetic problems of the facades, as well as moderate urban coherence. I recommend a detailed audit of facades and public spaces and prioritizing waterfront actions to leverage natural assets for a lasting improvement in the district's aesthetics.

Dąbie receives a rating of 3 (average availability of trade and services) because its structure is primarily residential and neighborhood-oriented, rather than commercial and service-oriented. The district has local shops and basic points (grocery stores, bakeries, kiosks), which ensure daily access to essential goods. Chain discount stores and larger supermarkets are less common than in the center or near large shopping malls, which is why residents often travel for larger purchases. The gastronomic offer is modest — bars and less developed restaurants dominate, and the variety of cafes and specialty establishments is limited. Pharmacies are present in Dąbie (catalog entries indicate one or two larger pharmacies), providing access to medications, although 24-hour services and a wider selection of supplements may require a visit to the center. Banking institutions and ATMs are less frequent; access to full banking services often requires traveling to nearby commercial districts. Poczta Polska has an extensive network in the city, so basic postal services are accessible, although there may be fewer points directly in Dąbie. Personal services (hairdressers, cosmetics) are available locally, but in smaller numbers and with a more limited specialized offer than in Śródmieście. The lack of a large shopping center in Dąbie limits access to a wide range of shops and services within walking distance. Opening hours and shopping convenience are typical for neighborhoods — smaller shops close earlier than large malls. The quality of commercial infrastructure is stable but not developed — basic points operate, and there is a lack of intensive development of large-scale retail. The availability of specialized medical services is limited; residents usually head to the city center for specialist offices. Public transport serves Dąbie, but the availability of individual lines depends on the specific part of the district, which affects ease of access to services outside the neighborhood. Compared to districts such as Centrum, Turzyn, or Stare Miasto, Dąbie performs average — it has basic daily amenities but a smaller commercial and gastronomic offer. For those seeking a quiet, neighborhood character with access to essential services, Dąbie will be acceptable; for those who value a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and professional services, travel will be necessary. Thus, the rating of 3 reflects a compromise: good basic availability, significant shortcomings in diversity and density of services. With further detailed mapping of points (addresses of pharmacies, ATMs, discount stores), I can refine recommendations and indicate specific areas for improvement.

The analysis indicates that Dąbie is a peripheral district with a limited number of permanent cultural institutions. There are no theaters, independent cinemas, large galleries, or professional concert halls. The entertainment and nightlife offerings are minimal—there are no significant clubs or music scenes on a district scale. In Dąbie, there are occasional initiatives and sporadic outdoor events (especially in the area near the water), but they are of an occasional and seasonal nature. The frequency and diversity of cultural events are therefore low compared to the city center. Access to the largest events and institutions (Castle, Philharmonic, museums, main theaters) requires traveling to the center, which reduces practical accessibility for Dąbie residents. Local cultural centers and libraries, if they operate, play a limited role and do not replace the missing large stages and cinemas. There is also a lack of an extensive workshop offer, creative spaces, and permanent artistic programs for various age groups. Cultural programming is therefore less diverse and less intense than in the parts of the city rated higher. From the perspective of social integration, the lack of a permanent, visible cultural space limits opportunities for residents to meet and initiate activities. Despite the natural potential (the area by the water), this advantage does not currently translate into a regular calendar of culturally significant events. Access to public transport to the center may partially compensate for the shortcomings, but it does not eliminate the barrier for those who prefer local culture. In terms of assessment criteria: diversity of venues—low; entertainment and nightlife—very limited; access to theaters/cinemas/museums—dependent on travel; frequency of events—low; social activity and clubs—limited; creative spaces—underdeveloped; programming and cultural diversity—poor. The sum of these factors justifies a rating of 2 (Poor). To improve Dąbie's rating, the following actions are recommended: development of local cultural centers, programs for regular seasonal events by the lake, support for social initiatives and mobile stages/open-air cinemas, and better promotion and coordination with the city calendar. Further, more detailed mapping of institutions and gathering residents' opinions would help refine the recommendations and identify specific places for cultural investments.

Dąbie is distinguished by its access to a large body of water — Lake Dąbie — which provides a significant advantage in terms of water recreation and walking spaces by the water. In the district and its immediate vicinity, new recreational areas are being developed in Prawobrzeże (e.g., park investments and playgrounds), which increases the offerings for families and active users. There are waterfront paths and walking areas that serve as local promenades and bathing beaches, enhancing recreational attractiveness. The number of large, compact parks is smaller than in the central parts of the city — instead, open spaces, neighborhood parks, and shorelines prevail. The quality and maintenance of the infrastructure are rated by residents as mixed — improvements are visible with new investments, but in some places, there are comments about maintenance and lighting. The availability of playgrounds and outdoor gyms is increasing thanks to municipal programs; however, the distribution of these facilities is scattered and not always equal throughout the district. The network of bike and pedestrian paths in Prawobrzeże is being developed, but it is not as dense or cohesive as in the central parts of the city or near the largest parks — work and plans to expand the routes are ongoing. The variety of activities is good due to water opportunities (water sports, fishing), walks along the shore, as well as basic sports infrastructure and playgrounds. Dąbie also offers space for more "quiet" recreation and contact with nature, which may appeal to those seeking spacious areas. From the perspective of accessibility, many neighborhoods have relatively close access to recreational spaces, but distances to larger, comprehensive parks can be greater than in the center. Residents' opinions indicate satisfaction with new recreational areas, but also an expectation for better maintenance and further enhancement of offerings. Overall greenery coverage is moderate — better than in some densely built-up inner-city neighborhoods, but weaker than in the greenest districts with access to Puszcza Bukowa. The cycling infrastructure should be assessed as under development — there is potential, but greater coherence of routes is required. Safety and lighting are not uniform; some areas need improvement to increase their usability after dark. Accessibility for families with children is increasing thanks to new playgrounds and neighborhood investments. Drawbacks include the dispersion of facilities, fragmented maintenance, and a smaller number of large, well-established parks. Advantages include primarily exceptional access to the lake, the developing park offerings in Prawobrzeże, and the possibility of water recreation. Considering the current state — a combination of access to water, growing park investments, but also limitations in coherence and maintenance of areas — I rate Dąbie as "Good" in terms of greenery and recreation. To raise the rating to very good, further investments in a cohesive network of bike paths, better maintenance of existing areas, and organized plans for creating larger, central parks or multifunctional spaces are needed.

I assess Dąbie as a district with average infrastructure quality, justifying this with several observations from available sources. The main roadways and access to key points are maintained; however, local streets and neighborhood sections often show surface damage and require more frequent repairs in some places. Sidewalks in many areas of Dąbie are fragmented or have damaged slabs—pedestrians report gaps in continuity and obstacles, which is confirmed by local discussions and submissions to the SBO. Street lighting operates at a basic level, but there are areas with inadequate illumination, which affects the sense of safety in the evening. The water and sewage network is connected to the municipal system, and ZWiK is carrying out phased modernization work, but local repairs and the need for section replacements indicate a need for further investments. Electrical supply is generally stable, although there are planned outages and occasional failures, similar to other parts of the city. Access to fixed and mobile internet is available, but the density of fiber optics and the quality of 5G are weaker than in the central and western districts of Szczecin. The waste management system operates according to municipal schedules, so in this area, Dąbie does not stand out negatively. Public transportation to the center is less convenient than from the left bank—residents more frequently indicate longer commutes and lower frequency of connections. The indicators for maintaining greenery and cleanliness are varied, and local SBO initiatives suggest residents' activity in reporting needs (lighting, sidewalks, sports fields). Areas with port and industrial functions generate heavy traffic, which further accelerates the wear of local surfaces. ZDiTM and BIP document individual tenders and renovation work in the Dąbie area, showing that the city is taking action, but the scale of needs exceeds the current pace of modernization. As a result, the standard of infrastructure is mixed: where investments are made, improvements are visible, while many streets and pedestrian paths still await repairs. For those planning to move, it is worth checking a specific address for the availability of fiber optics, the condition of sidewalks, and the frequency of public transport connections. In summary, Dąbie deserves a rating of 3 on a scale of 1 to 6— the infrastructure is functional but requires significant enhancements and systematic modernization, particularly regarding sidewalks, lighting, and local roads.

The assessment is based on the analysis of the city's acoustic maps (2019), available air quality measurements, and residents' reports. Dąbie is partially located near the port and industrial zones, which systematically raises the noise level, especially from heavy transport. Acoustic maps indicate local exceedances of road and industrial noise levels in parts of the district. Residents have reported instances of night work, machine noise, and disturbances related to truck traffic. The proximity of the waterfront and access roads to the port causes continuous traffic, which affects long-term exposure to noise. The district has also recorded local sources of dust pollution resulting from industrial activities and goods transport. The available GIOŚ stations do not cover the entire street network of Dąbie, so short-term PM peaks may be underestimated. The heating season causes additional deterioration of air quality, negatively affecting residents sensitive to dust. Street cleanliness is partially maintained through cleanup actions, but reports and interventions indicate periodic problems with littering, especially in areas adjacent to industry. The Municipal Guard conducts inspections, but local complaints show that the problem persists. Compared to green districts (e.g., Bukowe, Pogodno), Dąbie has distinctly worse acoustic and air quality conditions. Certain parts of Dąbie, further away from port lines and main routes, offer moderately better conditions, but these are not dominant. Planned infrastructural changes may partially improve or worsen local noise exposure depending on design solutions. The lack of a dense network of local sensors limits precise mapping of short-term pollution exceedances. For individuals sensitive to noise and smog, districts rated higher in the report would be more suitable. Possible remedial actions include restrictions on heavy traffic, additional acoustic barriers, and the expansion of local air monitoring. Due to the above factors, I believe that a rating of 2 (on a scale of 1–6) best reflects the current level of noise and pollution in Dąbie. I recommend checking the current GIOŚ readings and visiting at different times of the day before making a housing decision.

Preliminary readings from sources indicate around 65 offers of apartments for sale in Dąbie, placing the district in the "Average" category in terms of the number of listings. This number of offers suggests that there is enough choice in the market for potential buyers or tenants to find various sizes of apartments, but there is not the same depth of the market as in the City Center or in the largest western estates. The structure of Dąbie's development (a mix of older buildings and parts of newer investments) translates into a moderate diversity of property types — apartments dominate, with a limited number of single-family homes. Developer activity is visible here, but significantly lower than in central areas (Międzyodrze, Stare Miasto) or in rapidly developing regions, which limits the influx of new supply. From the perspective of tenants, the Right Bank is sometimes perceived as a cheaper alternative, but with potentially longer commuting times to the center — this affects the dynamics of demand and the availability of offers in Dąbie. The "lifespan" of offers and vacancy rates for this district have not been precisely measured in the provided material, so the assessment of market liquidity is based on indirect observations and comparisons. Price diversity is moderate — cheaper apartments can be found as well as a few offers in better standards, but the choice of premium segments is limited. Compared to districts with very low supply (e.g., Skolwin), Dąbie offers significantly better availability, but falls short of areas like Pomorzany, Stołczyn, or some parts of Pogodno in terms of the number and diversity of offers. The comfort of searching is therefore good for those accepting a compromise between price and commuting, less favorable for those looking for very specific solutions (e.g., large new apartments). The lack of detailed breakdowns between sales vs rentals and apartments vs houses limits the precision of recommendations, but overall data indicate a stable, moderately liquid market. For investors, Dąbie may be interesting due to lower starting prices and steady demand for long-term rentals, but the expected rate of return and risk depend on specific locations and infrastructure development plans. Communication and access to services locally affect the attractiveness of individual offers — areas closer to main thoroughfares are more desirable. Overall, the availability of apartments in Dąbie can be described as "good" — there are enough offers to meet various needs, but without excess and without a strong influx of new projects. Therefore, a rating of 4 reflects a moderately favorable position: availability is better than in poorly supplied districts, but worse than in centers and main development areas. To increase the precision of the assessment, I recommend clarifying the data: breaking down sales vs rentals, the number of houses vs apartments, and measuring the average exposure time of offers in Dąbie. Once this data is supplemented, it would be possible to consider adjusting the rating up or down depending on the supply structure and actual market liquidity.

Rating 3 means that Dąbie is positioned close to the average price level of Szczecin. SonarHome reports a median of ~8,426 PLN/m², which constitutes about 97-98% of the city median (~8,640 PLN/m²). This suggests that prices in Dąbie are slightly more favorable than in the center, but it should not be considered a significantly cheap area. In terms of purchase accessibility for a typical buyer, this indicates a moderate entry threshold. Dąbie offers a mix of housing (older blocks, single-family homes, a few newer developments), which provides some price diversity and options for different budgets. As for rents, the rental level in Dąbie is similar to the city average, so rental profitability does not stand out positively or negatively. Price stability — reports from NBP and local sources indicate corrections and greater seasonality in the market; Dąbie is not among the most unstable or rapidly growing areas. From the perspective of value for money, Dąbie offers a decent ratio: a quieter, right-bank location with access to greenery and older buildings. The cost of housing relative to local incomes should be moderate — not as low as in the cheapest districts, but also without the pressure typical of the most expensive areas. Future affordability prospects depend on infrastructure and investments; if communication with the center improves, prices may rise moderately. Dąbie does not offer as wide a range of very cheap options as Skolwin or Wielgowo, but it has more available listings than exclusive estates (Osów, Warszewo). From the perspective of a short-term investor, the potential for rapid price growth is limited compared to parts of the center and revitalized areas. For a first-time buyer, Dąbie can be a sensible option if they value a balance between price and quality of life. The market offerings in this district show moderate liquidity — it is not the fastest-moving segment, but sales are not stagnant. The availability of various standards of apartments makes it easier to match to creditworthiness, which increases the fairness of the local market. At the same time, the lack of a clear, lasting price discount means that Dąbie is not a place for those seeking maximum savings when purchasing. From the perspective of long-term rental, the risk of vacancies is unlikely to exceed the city average, although demand is lower than in the center. In summary, Dąbie is a district with average price accessibility: not the cheapest, but also not more expensive than most of the city. Therefore, the rating of 3 reflects a balanced combination of moderate prices, availability of listings, and moderate growth prospects. If you want, I can break down the analysis by specific streets in Dąbie and compare the purchase and rental offers to more precisely estimate affordability for your budget.

The assessment is based on a synthesis of available sources: reports from the Police and Municipal Guard, observations from ZDiTM regarding lighting modernization, as well as local media reports and residents' complaints. Detailed statistics for Dąbie were not directly available in the collected material, hence the assessment includes information from the National Threat Map and local reports. In the Dąbie area, there are reports of vandalism, theft, and disturbances around bus stops and communication routes. The Municipal Guard declares patrols on the right bank and a 24-hour coverage of units, while the Police conduct preventive actions, which positively affects the availability of interventions. ZDiTM runs lighting modernization programs (replacement with LED, illuminating crossings) — where work has been completed, the sense of safety at night improves. However, the practical effect is partially weakened by acts of vandalism (e.g., cable cuts), which disrupt the functioning of lighting and reduce safety after dark. The mix of development in Dąbie (residential areas, communication zones) causes a variation in the level of safety in individual micro-regions. There has not been an excessively high concentration of serious crimes in the materials, as is the case in the city center or parts of the port, but recurring minor incidents cast a shadow over the overall feeling of residents. Insufficient visibility in some pedestrian paths and neighborhood sidewalks reduces the comfort of moving around after dark. The presence of patrols and relatively reasonable access for emergency services are positive factors — however, it is worth improving visibility and safety at bus stops and entrances to apartment blocks. Residents' opinions (forums, comments) indicate an expectation for increased frequency of night patrols and better response to reports from MMZB. The lack of complete, broken-down statistics from KMP limits the precision of the assessment; exporting data from MMZB and requesting data from the Police would improve the accuracy of the rating. In the context of combating petty crime, local community initiatives, monitoring in critical points, and quick repairs of lighting damage would be helpful. Due to the above, Dąbie deserves an average rating (3/6): it is not a high-risk district, but the existing problems lower the sense of safety. I recommend: 1) urgently compiling MMZB reports for Dąbie, 2) requesting 12-month statistics from KMP for the area, 3) mapping poorly lit areas and prioritizing infrastructure repairs, and 4) increasing night patrols in points indicated by residents. After implementing these steps, the assessment can be accurately raised or lowered depending on confirmed data.

I rate Dąbie a 2 on a scale of 1 to 6 (poor public transport communication). Analysis of sources (ZDiTM, rozklad.szczecin.pl, summary of the study) shows that bus connections dominate in Dąbie, and the network of stops is sparser than in the western and central districts. The frequency of services on many routes is lower, especially outside peak hours, which affects the longer waiting times for passengers. Connections to the city center require frequent transfers or long journeys, which reduces the competitiveness of public transport compared to cars. There is a lack of large transfer hubs in Dąbie itself, making transfers less convenient and taking more time. Inter-district connections are also limited — direct routes to many parts of the city are rare or non-existent. The quality of services is mixed; part of the fleet consists of modern low-floor buses, but there are also older vehicles on less-served lines. Residents report issues with punctuality and longer travel times (examples cited in the study, including posts on Reddit and local articles). Track renovations and changes in traffic organization in other parts of the city may further affect the reliability of connections to and from Dąbie. Planned or announced investments in SKM and increased POLREGIO connections may improve the accessibility of the right bank, including Dąbie, in the future. However, these projects are phased, and their impact is currently limited — their full effect will only be realized after the completion of subsequent phases. Accessibility for people with disabilities is partially improved by the modernization of stops, but there are still sections in Dąbie that require investment. The lack of a dense network of stops means that some residents have longer walking distances to the nearest stop, which reduces the usability of the system. Compared to the city center, Pogodna, or Niebuszewo, Dąbie performs significantly worse in terms of the number of lines and frequency. On the positive side, the fact that public transport operates and provides basic mobility, especially to the nearest urban hubs, works in Dąbie's favor. However, the quality of travel (time, comfort, frequency) is at a level that makes daily use difficult without planning. The study also identified numerous signals from residents about the need for better connections and integration with the agglomeration railway. I recommend prioritizing actions: increasing the frequency of buses on key routes, streamlining transfers, and accelerating work on integrating SKM/POLREGIO with public transport. Without these changes, Dąbie will remain a district with limited public transport accessibility, which affects the quality of life for residents and its attractiveness to new settlers. Hence the final rating of 2/6 — the current network provides basic service but requires significant improvement in terms of frequency, direct connections, and transfer hubs.

I rate Golęcino-Gocław as average in terms of aesthetic quality for several reasons. First, the district has a mixed character — the partially villa-like Golęcino and sections with lower building intensity offer favorable views and better architectural scale, which positively affects attractiveness. Second, the presence of industrial areas and post-industrial quarters introduces visual diversity and lowers urban coherence. Third, the condition of facades is uneven in many places — there are well-maintained buildings and properties, but also neglected facades and courtyards, which worsens the overall perception. Fourth, the integration of greenery with the built environment is moderate: there are areas with good green infrastructure and recreational potential, but there is a lack of a cohesive planting system and small squares that would enhance the aesthetics of the streets. Fifth, in terms of historical and cultural significance, the district does not stand out with significant monuments, so there is no strong visual attraction point like Wały Chrobrego or Pogodno. Sixth, new investments do not seem to dominate or create a cohesive, high-quality style — the transformation is occurring in a fragmented manner. Seventh, urban coherence is moderate: the scale of buildings is generally low, which promotes a friendly character, but there is a lack of consistent building lines and organized public spaces. Eighth, lighting and street infrastructure have not been widely described in sources for this district, but general city reports indicate that peripheries often experience neglect in this regard, which may affect nighttime aesthetics. Ninth, residents' opinions and local materials (available in the general review) do not place Golęcino-Gocław at the forefront of the city's aesthetics — it is perceived rather as a practical, green alternative of moderate standard. Tenth, the greatest asset of the district is its potential: low-rise buildings, access to greenery, and places in good architectural condition that could become exemplary fragments with coordinated revitalization efforts. Eleventh, to improve the aesthetic rating, the following would be needed: facade renovation programs aimed at building owners, the organization of post-industrial areas (revitalization or green adaptations), a street planting system, and minor interventions in public space (small architecture, sidewalks, lighting). Twelfth, the lack of detailed photographic data and facade audits in sources for this specific district limits the precision of the assessment — I recommend a supplementary Street View audit and consultations with the Neighborhood Council. Overall, I justify the rating of "3 — average" as a reflection of the real mix of positives (low scale, villa fragments, greenery) and negatives (industrial areas, uneven facade conditions, lack of a strong historical point or modern urban pattern). With the implementation of local revitalization programs and green initiatives, the district has a realistic chance to move up to a higher level (4).

Golęcino-Gocław is a district with a distinct semi-industrial and port character, which affects the lower density of commercial and service points. In this area, there are basic neighborhood shops and a few minimarkets, but there is a lack of a wide selection of discount stores or supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. The gastronomic offer is limited — single establishments and bars dominate, while there are no chains of cafes or restaurants with diverse offerings. Access to pharmacies is possible, but the number of points is smaller than in central districts; pharmacies are often single and have limited opening hours. There are few banking institutions and bank branches; residents more often use individual ATMs or have to travel to larger districts. Postal and other administrative services are less represented — some parts of the district require traveling to the nearest facility. Hairdressers and basic personal services are available, but in limited numbers and rather as individual neighborhood salons. The lack of large shopping centers within the district means that residents often take advantage of the offerings in Turzyn, Centrum, or Gumieńce. Chain discount stores (Biedronka, Lidl, Netto) are less frequently present directly in the district, which reduces the convenience of daily shopping. The quality of commercial infrastructure is average — small and functional establishments dominate, with fewer modern service points. The opening hours of local shops can be limited on weekends and outside standard working hours, which complicates shopping for residents with irregular work schedules. The availability of services also depends on transportation connections — where buses/trams run, access to larger centers is relatively easier. However, for residents without a car, the necessity of regular trips for full shopping reduces the perception of service availability. The lack of a strong gastronomic base and professional services (e.g., a wide selection of specialist offices) is a significant limitation. Nevertheless, there is a local base providing basic daily needs — a bakery, grocery store, and a few craft services. The density of commercial points is clearly lower than in central districts or near large shopping centers. In light of the adopted assessment scale, these shortcomings and the industrial character of the area justify a rating below average. For those who value short distances to shops and a rich gastronomic offer, Golęcino-Gocław will be less attractive. Improvement in the rating could come from attracting a few discount stores, expanding the network of pharmacies and medical services, and better connectivity with shopping centers. In summary: access to services meets basic needs but is significantly poorer and less convenient than in central or well-developed neighborhoods, hence the rating of 2 (poor availability of trade and services).

Golęcino-Gocław is primarily a residential and recreational district with extensive green areas, which fosters outdoor events, but does not replace the regular institutional offerings. The district lacks large theaters, museums, or multiplex cinemas — small local initiatives and occasional events dominate. The availability of professional theater and concert stages is low, and residents usually rely on institutions located in the center of Szczecin. The club scene and nightlife in this part of the city are modest, with no clubs attracting audiences from across the city. The frequency of high-profile cultural events is limited; neighborhood, outdoor, or NGO-organized events prevail. However, there are active communities and local initiatives that organize meetings, workshops, or small concerts, positively impacting the cultural life of the district. Libraries and cultural centers operate at a basic level, offering activities for residents, but their resources and programs are generally more modest than those in the center. Access to major cultural institutions is possible but requires the use of public transport or a car, which reduces the spontaneity of attending events. Cultural programming is not highly diversified — there is a lack of systematic film cycles, larger-scale exhibitions, or artist residencies. At the same time, the large number of recreational areas creates potential for developing outdoor events and local festivals. However, there is a lack of coordinated support and promotion for these initiatives to grow and attract a wider audience. Compared to central districts, the level of cultural offerings is noticeably lower, which affects the overall cultural attractiveness of Golęcino-Gocław. Residents often travel to the Center, Old Town, or Łasztownia to take advantage of richer theater, concert, and cinema programs. A positive aspect is the local engagement and the potential of outdoor spaces, which could be better utilized. To enhance the cultural rating of the district, investments in small stages, better support for local initiatives, cyclical film programs, and improved event promotion would be necessary. Verifying existing addresses of cultural institutions and formally assigning them to the district could clarify this assessment somewhat, but based on the available data, I rate the offerings as average. The prospects for development are realistic with coordinated actions, but the current state offers rather limited cultural opportunities without traveling to the center. Overall, Golęcino-Gocław receives a rating of 3 — average availability of cultural and entertainment life.

Based on the available context, I assess Golęcino-Gocław at a level of 3 (average). The district has an important asset — access to the Oder River and riverside areas, which promotes walking and low-intensity recreation. The materials include information about the presence of allotment gardens (ROD), which increase the local share of greenery. However, there is a lack of mention of large urban parks or multifunctional recreational spaces comparable to Park Kasprowicza or Jasne Błonia. This suggests a limited number and size of formal parks in this part of the city. There is also no clear information regarding the number and quality of playgrounds or sports fields, indicating an average availability of these facilities. The issue of maintaining greenery in the city is often subject to criticism, and the lack of positive signals specific to Golęcino-Gocław suggests that the level of maintenance may be moderate. Overall investments in the cycling network are being carried out in Szczecin, but the context does not mention specific implementations in Golęcino-Gocław, which means that cohesive cycling infrastructure in this district may be limited. The variety of recreational activities seems moderate — mainly walks by the river, allotment gardens, and occasional local recreational areas. For families with children or those expecting developed sports infrastructure, the district may be less attractive than more "green" urban neighborhoods or areas near Puszcza Bukowa. Access to water is a significant plus for lovers of tranquility and contact with nature, but it does not compensate for the lack of organized infrastructure. Residents' opinions in the collected material are generally mixed, and the lack of clear positive quotes regarding this district suggests moderate satisfaction. The distance to the largest urban parks for many residents may be greater than in central districts, which reduces the ease of access to the full range of recreational offerings. Allotment greenery and riverside spaces partially compensate for the lack of large parks, but do not fully replace the infrastructure for organized activities. In light of the criteria — the number and size of parks, quality of equipment, availability of playgrounds, cycling paths, and variety of activities — Golęcino-Gocław ranks at an average level. Opportunities for improvement include creating pocket parks, modernizing the waterfront, and adding missing sections of cycling paths to the urban network. The city is implementing park and cycling programs, so with targeted investments, the district has the potential to improve its rating. At the current stage, based on the collected material, the recommended rating is 3 — average — with clear opportunities for improvement as a result of future investments and revitalization.

Golęcino-Gocław is a mixed-use district (industrial/port + residential area), which translates into specific infrastructure burdens — heavy traffic and port transport negatively affect the condition of local surfaces. Main communication routes are usually maintained more frequently than side local roads, but many neighborhood streets require repairs and paving. Sidewalks in areas closer to industrial zones tend to be in worse condition and are less friendly for pedestrians and people with limited mobility. Street lighting is sometimes insufficient — particularly along industrial sections and near loading areas — although residents' requests and SBO projects indicate a desire and plans to improve lighting in certain areas. The water and sewage network in Szczecin is centrally managed by ZWiK, so basic connections and supplies are provided; however, local repairs and upgrades to the network can cause temporary disruptions and roadworks. Electrical power is generally stable, but planned outages and sporadic failures occur in the region — the impact on the district is typical for peripheral/port areas of the city. Access to the internet and telecommunications at the city level is good, but the level of fiber optic and 5G services may vary depending on the specific street in Golęcino-Gocław. Waste management operates according to city schedules, so residents have a standard level of collection services; however, issues with cleanliness in industrial zones are reported more frequently. Overall technical maintenance is irregular — the city's priority tends to be main routes, while neighborhood roads and sidewalks require more frequent support. Local initiatives and projects from the Civic Budget aimed at improving recreational infrastructure, lighting, and sidewalks are visible, which offers the prospect of improvement in the medium term. The lack of cohesive revitalization of the entire district results in a mixed standard of infrastructure — from acceptable in areas closer to the center to poorer near industrial zones. For pedestrians and cyclists, the availability of routes can be limited, and crossings and paths require supplements and repairs. Sewage and water supply systems are operational, but periodic upgrades are necessary on selected sections, as indicated by ZWiK's general plans. Parking and traffic organization issues in some parts of the district reduce the comfort of using public space. City investments (ZDiTM, SBO) are being implemented, but the pace and scale of work do not keep up with the needs of the entire district. Due to the described deficiencies in sidewalks, lighting, and local roads, as well as the simultaneous operation of basic technical networks (water, electricity, waste collection), I assess the district as average in terms of infrastructure. If the city intensifies repair work and the implementation of SBO projects in Golęcino-Gocław, the assessment may improve; however, currently, there is insufficient evidence of a wide-ranging modernization of all infrastructure elements. I recommend detailed mapping of streets and identification of priority sections of sidewalks and roads, as well as monitoring ZDiTM and ZWiK plans for this district, to more precisely plan necessary investments.

The assessment is based on the analysis of acoustic maps, available air quality readings, and local residents' reports. The district has a mosaic character—residential areas are often quieter due to local green spaces and their distance from main arteries. At the same time, the eastern and northern parts are closer to the Oder River, technical areas, and port-related zones, which results in greater exposure to industrial and transport noise. Noise maps indicate areas with elevated levels of acoustic emissions in warehousing and logistics zones and along side communication routes. Heavy traffic and warehousing activities can be sources of nighttime disturbances in selected locations. The air quality for this part of Szczecin usually ranks at a moderate level—outside the heating season, PM2.5/PM10 values are average, while during the heating season, deteriorations may occur, as seen in GIOŚ data. There is a lack of a dense network of local sensors, so the spatial variability of pollutants is not fully captured, and local results may differ from readings at the nearest stations. Street cleanliness varies: in riverine and industrial areas, residents report local problems with littering and space maintenance, although the city and civic organizations conduct periodic cleaning campaigns. The road infrastructure in parts of the district does not generate as intense traffic as the main urban arteries, which lowers the overall noise level for many inner neighborhoods. However, the proximity of side tracks, access roads to the port, and loading areas causes an increase in noise at certain points. Nighttime disturbances are more likely near warehousing areas than in typically residential parts. From the perspective of a resident planning to settle: it is advisable to choose apartments facing the courtyard or away from the waterfront and warehousing areas. I recommend checking the current GIOŚ readings on the day of the visit and visiting the location at different times (day/evening/night) before making a decision. In the absence of investments to reduce noise (screens, traffic reorganization) and without expanding the air sensor network, the environmental condition in Golęcin-Gocław will remain moderate. Therefore, the adopted assessment is 3—"average": the district is neither distinctly burdensome like port areas nor exceptionally quiet and clean like green peripheral neighborhoods. The assessment takes into account both current sources of noise and emissions, as well as the city's maintenance activities and local areas with low nuisance. If silence and excellent air quality are important, it is worth considering alternatives (e.g., Pogodno, Bukowe-Klęskowo, Zdroje). For further, precise assessment, I can prepare a detailed noise map from the Geoportal and download current GIOŚ readings for specific points in the district.

I assign a rating of 3 (Average) for the availability of real estate in the Golęcino-Gocław district. In the available context of the preliminary study, Golęcino-Gocław has been marked as a district for which "the number of listings requires confirmation" — listings are visible on Otodom and miastooferuje, but there is a lack of a precise counter. Based on this, it can be inferred that supply exists, but it does not reach the level of central districts such as Śródmieście or Międzyodrze. The number of listings is likely below the level of large housing estates (50–200 listings), suggesting an average-low to average availability. The diversity of building types in Golęcino-Gocław is moderate — there are apartments in blocks, tenement houses, and single segments closer to suburban areas. There are no signals of a high concentration of new development projects in this district in the provided context, unlike the Śródmieście or Stołczyn areas. This limits future supply and results in a restricted choice of new apartments. Regarding rental listings, there is likely also moderate availability — sufficient for seekers, but harder to find than in city centers. The turnover rate of listings (exposure time) has not been studied here for Golęcino-Gocław, but overall city indicators suggest an extended sales time, which may indicate slower turnover in this district as well. The availability of transportation infrastructure and access affects attractiveness — Golęcino-Gocław is less central, which reduces demand compared to left-bank areas close to trams. From a developer's investment perspective, it seems less of a priority, hence the smaller number of new investments and lower anticipated future supply. Vacancy rates and exact numbers of apartments for sale/rent require confirmation through readings from Otodom/Morizon/miastooferuje and collecting snapshots — without this, the assessment remains preliminary. For those looking for a family apartment, Golęcino-Gocław may offer favorable prices and tranquility, but the choice of specific square footage or standard will be limited. For short-term tenants or students, it is easier to find an offer in more active central markets. From the perspective of diversity in layouts and standards, the offer is likely to be less rich than in districts with high supply like Pomorzany or Turzyn. Therefore, the rating of 3 reflects an intermediate state — there is a market and availability, but it is neither broad nor dynamic. I recommend supplementing the data by obtaining a specific counter of listings on Otodom/miastooferuje (sales vs rentals, apartments vs houses), which will allow for an upward or downward adjustment of the rating. Additionally, it is worth checking local ads and resident groups on Facebook, as well as the exposure time of listings, to better assess the actual ease of finding an apartment. If it turns out that the number of listings actually exceeds 50–100

1) The median price per m² in Golęcino-Gocław is approximately 6,687 PLN/m², which is about 77% of the median for Szczecin (~8,640 PLN/m²) and clearly places the district among the cheapest areas of the city. 2) Lower prices significantly lower the entry threshold for first-time buyers and those with limited budgets — both when purchasing their own apartment and when investing for rental purposes. 3) In terms of rental affordability, Golęcino-Gocław will generally be cheaper than the average city rates, improving the cost-to-income ratio for tenants. 4) The availability of diverse offers (older blocks, single-family homes, fewer new investments) provides price options for different types of buyers. 5) The quality-price ratio is favorable — by buying here, the buyer pays relatively little per meter, although often at the cost of standard or the need for renovation in older stock. 6) From the perspective of housing burden relative to local incomes, Golęcino-Gocław reduces the risk of excessive mortgage payments compared to more expensive districts. 7) Price stability in the short term may be moderate — reports (NBP, SonarHome) indicate corrections and variability in offers, especially outside central areas, so fluctuations in offers are possible. 8) Nevertheless, the low price base provides some cushioning against value decline in percentage terms for the buyer (lower nominal cost of risk). 9) There is potential for value growth, especially if there is an improvement in infrastructure, communication, or local investments, but this is not guaranteed and may be slower than in more attractively located districts. 10) For rental investors, gross profitability may be similar or slightly higher (lower purchase price), but rental demand may be lower than in the center, affecting rental time and tenant turnover. 11) The housing offer is price-diverse but limited in terms of high-end new projects — this means less competition in the budget segment. 12) Infrastructure and service availability are average — some parts of the district require better connections and amenities, which is a factor lowering the price but also a risk for long-term demand. 13) From the perspective of market fairness, Golęcino-Gocław offers a real alternative for those excluded from more expensive locations, improving access to the housing market. 14) Operating costs and taxes do not differ significantly from other parts of Szczecin, so the main advantage is the lower entry price. 15) Technical risk (condition of buildings, need for renovations) is greater in older stock, which buyers should consider in their CAPEX calculations. 16) Short-term outlook: maintaining affordability is likely in the absence of major infrastructure investments; significant price increases would require external impulses. 17) Medium- and long-term outlook: with gradual improvement in service and communication offerings, moderate value growth is possible, but Golęcino-Gocław is

I give a rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6 (Average Safety) for the district of Golęcino-Gocław. The rating reflects a mix of factors: a relatively low incidence of criminal events in residential areas and the presence of critical sections along the Oder River and industrial zones, which lower the overall sense of safety. From the available sources (working city study), there are no explicit, detailed crime statistics broken down by this district, so the assessment is based on a synthesis of police reports, the National Threat Map, and accounts from local media and residents. The police and Municipal Guard operate within the city system with declared 24/7 patrols, which provides a basis for a moderate safety rating, but there are no signals of a significant increase in patrols specifically in the industrial areas of Golęcino and Gocław. Street lighting in Szczecin is being modernized (replacement with LED, additional lighting at crossings), however, in the context of Golęcino-Gocław, poorly lit sections near the tracks and recreational areas along the Oder are noted. Acts of vandalism directed against lighting infrastructure (cable cuts) are an urban phenomenon and can significantly lower nighttime safety in this district. Accounts from residents and local media mention vandalism and incidents within industrial areas and near railway tracks, which raises the risk in selected locations. The residential areas of Golęcino and Gocław seem relatively calm during the day, with an average number of reports typical for housing estates (burglaries, car thefts, petty crimes), placing the district at an average level. Nighttime accessibility and walkability deteriorate in the areas along the river paths, under bridges, and near the tracks, where natural lighting and pedestrian traffic are lower. The availability of emergency services and police stations in Szczecin is good at the city level, but response times in the peripheral areas of Golęcino-Gocław may be slightly longer than in the center. Local initiatives and the reporting system (MMZB) provide residents with tools for influence, but effectiveness depends on the quick response of services and the implementation of lighting investments at specific points. The lack of complete district statistics limits the precision of the assessment and suggests the need to export data from the National Threat Map and request statistics from the KMP for verification of the assessment. The presence of mixed-use development and the fact that some areas have lower population density, which usually translates to fewer incidents related to large gatherings of people, work in favor of the district. However, there are specific locations with elevated risk: areas near the tracks, some waterfronts, and industrial fragments, where vandalism and sporadic acts of vandalism are reported. Urban monitoring and cameras can improve safety in critical points, but they are not available everywhere. Recommended actions to improve the rating include: targeted lighting of crossings and riverbank sections, increasing patrols during nighttime in critical routes, and promoting problem reporting through MM

Golęcino-Gocław is primarily served by bus lines, which limits direct capacity and convenience compared to tram districts. The number of stops within the district is moderate, but the spatial layout partially leaves some built-up areas with a greater distance to the nearest stop. The frequency of services during peak hours is acceptable—there are regular routes to the city center and towards the north—however, outside of peak times and in the evenings, there is a noticeable drop in service. Connections to the city center are mainly provided via major roadways, which allows for relatively simple and direct access, but travel times can be extended during peak hours due to congestion and narrow road sections. There is a lack of a large transfer hub or tram loop, which limits the possibilities for smooth transfers and reduces the offer of inter-district connections. The quality of the fleet on the lines serving the district is mixed—some routes are operated by new, low-floor buses, while others still use older vehicles. Residents report moderate reliability of services; delays mainly occur during renovation periods or due to traffic jams on the way to the city center. The availability of connections to neighboring districts is sufficient, but often requires transfers and extended travel times. The network does not offer the same density as Śródmieście or Pogodno, making access to services and shopping centers less convenient. Plans for the development of SKM and ticket integration may improve connectivity with other parts of the agglomeration in the future, but currently, the effects of these changes are limited within Golęcino-Gocław. The stop infrastructure requires modernization in some places, especially regarding shelters, lighting, and pedestrian access. For people with limited mobility, accessibility is mixed—some routes and stops are adapted, but there is a lack of coherent, full accessibility throughout the district. The night service is limited, which affects the mobility of residents who work shifts or enjoy nightlife. Relatively good bus connections to northern routes and major urban corridors are an advantage, but they do not compensate for the lack of a fast tram or railway hub. Compared to the evaluations of other districts in the study, Golęcino-Gocław ranks in the middle—better than the periphery of the right bank, but worse than areas with a developed tram network. Overall, the availability of public transport is sufficient for daily commutes, but limitations in frequency, the lack of strong hubs, and moderate reliability result in an average rating. From the perspective of housing planning and the everyday user, I recommend monitoring the plans of ZDiTM and schedules on rozklad.szczecin.pl, as well as tracking SKM investments as potential factors for improving the rating in the future.

Gumieńce is primarily a district characterized by villa-style residential areas with predominantly low, single-family housing and intimate neighborhoods. In the collected research material, Gumieńce was mentioned alongside Pogodno and Warszewo as one of the more visually attractive places in Szczecin. Architecturally, well-maintained single-family homes and low-rise buildings dominate here, creating a cohesive and clear aesthetic of the space. The facades of buildings in this district mostly appear to be well-kept, with no significant signs of neglect visible in the source materials. Greenery is an integral part of the urban composition of Gumieńce—trees, private gardens, and small squares enhance the visual appeal. Urbanistically, this area is characterized by a coherent layout, low building density, and clear property boundaries, which contribute to a sense of aesthetic order. However, there is a lack of a large concentration of historic architecture or representative tenement houses that would enhance the historical and cultural value at the level of the city center. New investments in Gumieńce are generally compatible in scale and style with the existing buildings, which helps maintain urban coherence. In terms of architectural diversity, Gumieńce offers a moderate palette of forms—from traditional villas to modern houses, but without strong contrasts in character. Public street space is usually tidy, although the study indicates that the most significant issues related to facades mainly occur outside the villa areas, rather than in Gumieńce. The integration of greenery with buildings is one of the strong points of the district—tree cover and private plantings soften the mass of buildings and improve the microclimate. Regarding the quality of new architectural realizations, available sources do not indicate controversial, aggressive extensions or chaotic color schemes observed in some parts of the center. The lighting and street infrastructure in the district are assessed as sufficient for maintaining a good aesthetic reception after dark, although detailed data from ZDiTM were not specifically assigned to Gumieńce. Unlike the city center, Gumieńce has less tourist and representative potential, which, however, contributes to the recreational character of the residential space. Summarizing the aesthetic and maintenance elements—most buildings are well-kept, facades do not show mass neglect, and the surroundings are tidy. In urban assessment, the district performs well due to the coherence of low-rise buildings and logical division of plots. A rating lower than the highest (6) mainly results from the lack of strong historical value and lesser diversity of representative architectural forms compared to the best parts of the city. Additionally, as a peripheral district, it may lack some elements of infrastructure and public spaces of a representative nature that enhance subjective aesthetic appeal. Based on the collected materials, I recommend a rating of "5 – very good aesthetic quality of the buildings" for Gumieńce, reflecting well-maintained facades, urban coherence, and good integration of greenery. For a complete verification, I suggest a supplementary photographic audit of several streets in Gumieńce and a short survey of residents

Gumieńce is a district with a diverse character — along the main arteries and in commercial areas, there is a concentration of grocery stores and service points, while the more residential parts have only basic amenities. Chain discount stores and neighborhood shops are available within a reasonable distance, ensuring good access to everyday goods. The dining options are moderate — there are local eateries and bars, but there is a lack of a wide selection of restaurants and cafes typical of the city center. Pharmacies and ATMs are present in the district or in its immediate vicinity, covering basic needs, although the number of specialized facilities is limited. Postal offices and basic services (tailoring, laundry, car repair, hairdresser) are available, but their density is lower than in the central parts of Szczecin. In the vicinity of local shopping centers (in the context of Gumieńce, the areas of CH Ster / Fala are often mentioned), there is a higher concentration of service points, which improves accessibility for residents of these parts of the district. Public transport provides connections to other parts of the city; however, residents point out issues with traffic jams during peak hours, which reduces the convenience of accessing some services by car. Good basic accessibility (stores, pharmacy, ATM, hairdresser) makes Gumieńce a convenient place for daily life, but the lack of large shopping centers within the district itself limits the choice of goods and specialized services. Compared to districts such as Centrum, Turzyn, or Stare Miasto, Gumieńce has a smaller dining offer and fewer service points per square kilometer. The development of housing and construction in Gumieńce increases the demand for services and, in some places, causes overloads of existing infrastructure. The opening hours of shops and services are typical for the city — most points operate during standard hours, with a limited number of 24-hour options. The availability of specialized medical services and dental clinics is limited and often requires travel to larger centers. People who prefer walking to various restaurants and shops will more often head to the city center; meanwhile, families and those seeking tranquility will appreciate the local, basic amenities of Gumieńce. The quality of local services is generally good, although the choice of hairdressers or beauty salons is smaller than in densely populated central districts. The overall commercial and service layout caters to daily needs but cannot replace the full offer of large galleries and shopping centers. Considering the above criteria — the variety of shops, availability of pharmacies and banks, presence of local services, and proximity to smaller shopping centers — I rate Gumieńce as 4 (Good): good access to basic services, with reservations regarding the specialized and dining offers.

Rating 3 reflects a moderate level of cultural life availability in Gumieńce. The conducted study indicates that there is no concentration of large institutions such as theaters, museums, or large concert venues in this district, which typically focus cultural offerings. The cultural offer is therefore primarily local and occasional, based on small neighborhood events and community initiatives. In terms of the diversity of venues—cinemas, galleries, and professional stages—Gumieńce ranks below the level of the city center and the Old Town. Commercial and retail entertainment (e.g., service facilities and meeting places) provides part of the recreational offer, but does not replace cultural institutions with a city-wide reach. The club scene and nightlife are limited here, which reduces the district's attractiveness for those seeking an intense entertainment life after hours. However, a benefit of Gumieńce is its good transport accessibility and relative proximity to the center, which allows residents relatively easy access to theaters, museums, and festivals in the city. The frequency of professional cultural events organized directly in the district is low, while seasonal and outdoor initiatives may occasionally appear. Social activity and local clubs/amateur groups exist, but their scale and reach are limited. The lack of a dense network of creative spaces, art studios, or independent galleries restricts opportunities for creators and the local audience. Programming focused on cultural diversity and festival cycles is concentrated in the center, which is why the repertoire available in Gumieńce is thematically poorer. From the perspective of families and residents looking for a quiet residential area, Gumieńce offers a sufficient recreational base and occasional events for the local community. For those heavily engaged in cultural activities, regular trips to the city center are necessary, which affects the perception of limited availability. The study also pointed out the general problem of uneven offerings in Szczecin—Gumieńce is an example of a district that indirectly benefits from the city's offerings but rarely generates them. The assessment therefore takes into account both positive elements (accessibility, local initiatives) and barriers (lack of large institutions, limited nightlife, small number of creative spaces). To improve the cultural rating in Gumieńce, recommended actions include: supporting local cultural centers, developing outdoor programs, encouraging partnerships between city organizations and local initiatives, and better promotion of events. Investments in small stages, coworking spaces for creators, and regular cycles of cultural meetings would increase both the offer and resident engagement. In summary, Gumieńce has an average level of cultural life—sufficient for daily, occasional use, but inadequate for those expecting a rich, diverse, and consistent cultural offer in their district. Consequently, the proposed final rating is 3 on a scale of 1 to 6.

Gumieńce has a noticeable presence of neighborhood greenery and several new playground investments made in recent years, which improves the availability of recreational spaces for families with children. The district also features allotment gardens (ROD), which increase the total area of greenery available locally. However, there is no large, central city park in Gumieńce comparable to Park Kasprowicza or Arkońskie Las, which limits the offer of spaces for intensive activities and long walks. The quality of new facilities (playgrounds, small sports zones) is rated positively, but residents in other districts report issues with the maintenance of older green areas — based on this, mixed assessments regarding maintenance should be assumed. The availability of sports facilities and fields in Gumieńce is moderate; the proximity to larger sports centers sometimes requires traveling outside the district. The cycling infrastructure in the city is being developed, but without a strong cycling center in Gumieńce — the local network of routes is not as extensive as in areas with priority communication. Recreational diversity (e.g., outdoor gyms, running paths, water zones) is limited; small neighborhood facilities and allotments dominate. From the perspective of accessibility — most residents of Gumieńce have relatively short distances to the nearest playgrounds and neighborhood greenery, but larger parks require travel. Resident satisfaction with new investments is generally positive, although there are voices calling for better equipment and maintenance. The coverage of greenery is clearly better than in the most densely built parts of the center, but weaker than in the most "green" districts (Pogodno, Warszewo, areas around Puszcza Bukowa). In terms of criteria: number and size of parks — average/small; quality of facilities — improving due to recent investments; availability of playgrounds — good locally; cycling paths — limited; diversity of activities — moderate; resident satisfaction — mixed with a predominance of positives regarding new developments. The distance to the largest recreational areas is a significant limitation for those seeking extensive running trails or forest paths. The overall quality of greenery and recreation in Gumieńce is solid at the neighborhood level, but lacks elements that would warrant a very good or excellent rating. Therefore, I propose a rating of "4 (Good)" — indicating a good foundation of greenery and recreation with room for improvement in terms of larger-scale parks, maintenance, and the expansion of cycling routes. Further recommendations include detailed mapping of parks and playgrounds, calculating m2 of greenery per resident, and verifying the state of maintenance in the field, which will allow for a potential increase in the rating after the implementation of further investments and maintenance actions.

Gumieńce belongs to the western, villa parts of Szczecin, which are described in available materials and local announcements as well-maintained and green. The quality of the street surfaces in most areas of the district is rated as good — the main thoroughfares and neighborhood streets are regularly maintained, and paved driveways and parking areas are present within the estate. Sidewalks and pedestrian accessibility are generally at a high level compared to the city's outskirts; in the villa areas, well-kept pedestrian paths are visible, with places requiring only minor repairs. Street lighting in Gumieńce is relatively good, and in recent years, the city has implemented projects to expand and modernize lighting in the western districts (SBO projects and local investments). The water and sewage system is connected to the municipal network managed by ZWiK; the availability and quality of water supply is stable, although there may be temporary disruptions during local upgrades. The electrical network operates stably — there are no exceptions characteristic of this district, apart from occasional planned maintenance outages typical for the entire city. Access to the internet and telecommunications is good: in the western districts of Szczecin (including Gumieńce), there is availability of fiber optic connections and good 4G/5G mobile coverage from major operators. Waste management is carried out by municipal systems (ecoSzczecin/MPO), and the collection service operates efficiently in the district, although residents should check local collection schedules. The maintenance of greenery and infrastructure is typically a strong point of Gumieńce — parks and green belts are more frequently modernized and well-kept. Compared to central renovations by ZDiTM, Gumieńce is not a priority for large municipal reconstructions, which means fewer disruptive roadworks, but also slower implementation of major upgrades where they are needed. In the SBO documents and local announcements, there were requests for lighting and minor investments specifically for the western areas, confirming active local initiatives. Residents and real estate announcements describe Gumieńce as a comfortable district, often chosen by those seeking peace and greenery while having good access to services. Risks associated with the assessment include: local sections requiring repairs (e.g., old pavement fragments or localized sidewalk subsidence) and periodic work on networks (water/sewage), which may cause temporary disruptions. Public transport availability is also good, but on some streets, the frequency of services outside peak hours needs improvement. Overall, infrastructure maintenance is regular and reactive — the city carries out minor investments and repairs, and local SBO projects support the improvement of lighting and sidewalks. Considering all criteria — roads, sidewalks, lighting, water-sewage, electricity, internet, waste management, and overall maintenance — Gumieńce deserves a rating of "5" (very good infrastructure) with the caveat that local, point-specific work and minor deficiencies may require further interventions.

The assessment is based on a combination of several sources: acoustic maps of the city (2019), general air quality measurements, and local observations and reports. The acoustic maps indicate that parts of Gumieńce are adjacent to exit routes that generate elevated levels of road noise along the main arteries. At the same time, a large portion of the district has single-family housing and local green spaces that act as natural acoustic buffers in the internal areas of the neighborhood. In practice, this means significant variation: along the main streets, the level of noise and traffic emissions is noticeable, while deeper within the neighborhood, conditions are much calmer. The lack of direct proximity to large industrial or port areas (unlike some parts of Prawobrzeże) reduces the risk of constant industrial emissions. Air quality in Szczecin is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with the worst PM2.5/PM10 values occurring during the heating season; Gumieńce is usually not in an extremely unfavorable position, but local concentrations can increase in winter. The network of automatic GIOŚ stations does not cover all micro-locations, so the air quality assessment for Gumieńce is based on data from urban stations and general trends. The cleanliness of the streets in the district can be assessed as average—actions by the Municipal Guard and city cleaning occur, but local issues with littering and neglected areas happen from time to time. Nighttime disturbances are less than in the city center or near entertainment areas; however, the transit of heavy traffic can cause occasional nighttime noise at the main exits. Residents report a rather moderate number of complaints—not as many as in industrial districts, but more than in quiet suburbs like Pogodno or Osów. Road infrastructure and potential construction work can periodically worsen acoustic conditions, which should be taken into account when assessing a specific address. Greenery and single-family housing improve the overall impression and reduce exposure to noise in many parts of the neighborhood. Compared to the highest-rated districts (ratings of 4–5 in the analysis), Gumieńce offers moderate environmental comfort, but they cannot be considered quiet and completely free from pollution. A decisive shortcoming is the presence of transit traffic and the lack of a uniform protective green zone across the area. I recommend checking current GIOŚ readings before making a housing decision and visiting at different times of the day and night to assess local nuisances. If you want a more precise assessment of a specific street or address in Gumieńce, I can map its distance from the main arteries and provide detailed indications of noise and potential sources of emissions.

I rate Gumieńce a 4 (Good) due to the described preliminary level of supply. The context of the study indicates that in the West area — which includes Gumieńce — there is a relatively large volume of offers compared to smaller peripheral neighborhoods. The text notes that Gumieńce has offers "within the West (numerous)," which suggests a moderate to high number of listings, although without a precise count. The number and variety of offers in Gumieńce likely exceed those in smaller neighborhoods like Skolwin or Załom, but are less than in the center (Międzyodrze, Śródmieście). In terms of types of apartments, availability seems mixed — both single-family segments and multi-family apartments may appear, which positively affects the choices of buyers and renters. However, the available sources lack a separation of sales vs. rentals and separate counts for houses, which limits the precision of the assessment. Developer activity is mainly concentrated in Śródmieście and selected peripheries (e.g., Stołczyn), so future supply growth in Gumieńce depends on local investments that have not been detailed in the context. The time of exposure for listings and the turnover rate are not directly provided for Gumieńce, but the overall market in Szczecin is characterized by an extended average listing time, which may affect perceived availability. Communication and connections to the center (important for demand) in the western sectors are usually good, which fosters interest and increases the number of listings. Price and segment diversity may be beneficial for buyers looking for both cheaper options on the outskirts and better-located apartments closer to main thoroughfares. On the other hand, the lack of precise numbers means that the assessment must remain moderately cautious — there is no basis to assign a very high (5) or excellent (6) rating. Therefore, a 4 reflects that Gumieńce is a good market with a decent number of listings and reasonable diversity, but it is not a top location in terms of volume and developer activity. To increase the certainty of the assessment, I recommend obtaining precise counts from Otodom/Morizon/miastooferuje separated by sales/rentals and apartments/houses. Additionally, it would be worthwhile to collect a sample of listings by specific streets to check the micro-resolution of supply. If, after supplementing the data, it turns out that Gumieńce has a significant share of new investments and a large number of short-term rentals, the rating could rise to 5. For now, however, considering the available context and the lack of detailed counts, a rating of 4 is an adequate reflection of good, but not the highest, property availability in this district.

Gumieńce is one of the more expensive districts of Szczecin, with a median price of around 10,205 PLN/m², which is about 18% above the city average (~8,640 PLN/m²). From the perspective of affordability for purchase, this translates into a significantly higher budget needed to enter the market and a larger required down payment. Rental rates are also relatively high compared to most of the city, which increases the housing cost burden for tenants. The market in Gumieńce is characterized by new housing estates and single-family homes, which raises the average price and limits the number of truly affordable options. There is price diversity, but budget segments are limited, so buyers with a smaller budget have few alternatives. In terms of value for money, Gumieńce offers a good quality of life (green spaces, infrastructure), but prices largely reflect this premium, so the "value for money" ratio is moderate. Data from SonarHome and local observations show that the district is desirable, which maintains higher price levels. In the short term, there is no strong pressure for price declines — rather stability or moderate growth depending on the supply of new projects. From the perspective of market predictability, Gumieńce is quite predictable: the premium segment and demand for this location dampen significant volatility. This means that although buyers pay more, the risk of sudden price drops is lower than in some cheaper, riskier areas. However, in terms of financial accessibility for typical households, the rating is low — higher mortgage rates and down payments pose a barrier. The housing cost burden as a percentage of income will be higher here than the average in Szczecin. For families seeking quality of life, Gumieńce is attractive, but this attractiveness makes prices less affordable. For investors, Gumieńce offers stable demand and lower vacancy risk, but lower potential for rapid price increases compared to cheaper areas. The housing supply is concentrated in the mid and upper segments, and the lack of mass, very affordable apartments reduces overall availability. Local investments and civic activity contribute to maintaining or increasing property values, which decreases future affordability. Considering the criteria: rental and purchase affordability, price stability, value for money, and income burden, Gumieńce scores poorly in terms of affordability. Therefore, I recommend a rating of 1 on a scale of 1–6 (Very poor Property Prices) — the lowest affordability rating. If financial accessibility is a priority, better choices would be districts rated 4–5 in the report (e.g., Podjuchy, Skolwin, Załom), while Gumieńce is a choice for buyers willing to pay a premium for quality of life and location.

Gumieńce is a suburban, primarily residential district with a relatively lower traffic intensity than the city center. In the collected working material, the district was assessed as moderately safe, which on a scale of 1–6 best reflects a value of 3. Locally, there are mainly minor crimes: thefts from cars, vandalism, and isolated break-ins to apartments or basements. The presence of the Police and Municipal Guard covers this area; however, patrols are not as intensive as in the center or in places with high traffic. ZDiTM is conducting lighting modernization in the city, which improves safety where implemented; however, there is a lack of a complete transparent map of implementations specifically assigned to the streets of Gumieńce. Residents have repeatedly reported the need for better lighting of crossings and sidewalks, which affects the sense of safety after dark. The problem of vandalism (e.g., cutting lighting cables) observed in the city may weaken the benefits of modernization in this district as well if it occurs locally. The lack of open, detailed statistics from KMP broken down by district limits the ability to make precise assessments and forces reliance on the National Threat Map and reports from local media and forums. Reports from MMZB for Gumieńce indicate the presence of places with vandalism and thefts, but not clear hotspots of organized crime. Night walks and daily pedestrian traffic are usually assessed as moderately safe — the main risk arises from isolated, poorly lit sections. The availability of emergency services and response times seem typical for the peripheral parts of the city, with no signals of significant delays. Residents' sense of safety is mixed: some feel calm, while others call for more frequent patrols and better parking security. Local responses from services to reports and the possibility of improved lighting show that improvement is possible with relatively limited infrastructure investments. I recommend the urgent export of reports from MMZB for Gumieńce and submitting a request to KMP for crime statistics for the last 12 months broken down by police precinct — this will allow for verification of the assessment. Also, verifying the ZDiTM lighting modernization map and quickly repairing installation damages will be crucial for improving nighttime safety. Special attention should be paid to parking lots, basements, and critical pedestrian crossings, where reports are usually the most numerous. Considering the lack of serious signals of widespread crime and the current response tools, the average assessment (3/6) reflects the current balance of risk and remedial measures. After obtaining detailed data from MMZB and KMP, I recommend updating the assessment, which may shift up or down depending on the results of the analysis. For those considering living in Gumieńce, I recommend checking a specific address in MMZB and consulting with local residents on forums or social media groups to obtain current information.

The assessment is based on the collected context (ZDiTM, rozklad.szczecin.pl, local sources). Gumieńce are served by a mix of buses and selected suburban connections, which provides greater flexibility than typical peripheries relying solely on buses. In terms of the number of stops, the district has a moderate density of stops — not as intense as the city center, but sufficient for most residents to have access within a reasonable walking time. Service frequency is usually average — acceptable during peak hours, but noticeably less frequent outside of peak times compared to central districts. The quality of connections to the center is rated as good: there are direct bus routes and tram/suburban connections allowing access to key urban hubs without excessive transfers. Connections with other western districts and suburban directions (e.g., routes towards Mierzyn) are an additional advantage — there are options available for those commuting outside the city. For example, local bus lines (in the context of the sources, the mentioned lines 223/224) serve the area, illustrating the presence of local connections. A large-scale transport hub does not exist in Gumieńce, so transfers to a wider network often occur at nearby hubs — this increases the importance of good schedule coordination. The quality of the fleet on the routes serving the district is mixed — some of these lines feature modern, low-floor vehicles, but older vehicles are still in operation. Residents report moderate satisfaction — there are not as many strong negative opinions as in some peripheries, but there are comments about frequency and punctuality outside of peak hours. Punctuality is generally decent, although, as in the whole city, problems arise during track renovations and with traffic congestion. Accessibility for people with disabilities is gradually improving due to platform upgrades and fleet replacement, but not all stops in the district are fully adapted. Compared to the best districts in the city, Gumieńce lose out on the lower density of tram lines and slightly lower frequency of services outside peak hours. However, compared to the worst peripheries, they offer better connections and a greater number of transport alternatives. Plans for the development of the agglomeration network and potential increases in regional offerings (POLREGIO/SKA/SKM) could improve the district's rating in the future. In summary: Gumieńce have stable and functional public transport connections, good directional links, and decent stop infrastructure, but require improvements in frequency outside peak hours, better integration of transfer hubs, and further modernization of platforms — hence the rating of 4/6 (Good).

Głębokie-Pilchowo stands out with a strong landscape asset — the proximity to Lake Głębokie and the surrounding green areas significantly enhances the aesthetic perception of the district. The dominant single-family housing creates a calm, villa-like character of the space, which is perceived by residents as attractive and cohesive. Architecturally, the district is diverse — there are both well-maintained, modern houses and older buildings in varying technical conditions, providing moderate stylistic variety. The overall condition of facades in Głębokie-Pilchowo is generally good, as private homeowners are more inclined to take care of their facades than those in large-panel housing estates; however, there are sections that require renovation. Urbanistically, the area features low density and a clear street layout, which promotes aesthetic perception, but there is a lack of a compact, historical grid of buildings that would provide additional architectural depth. The integration of greenery with the built environment is one of the strongest points — green courtyards, home plantings, and proximity to water bodies create a cohesive, friendly landscape. In terms of historical and cultural value, the district does not have as strong accents as Pogodno or the Old Town, which lowers its score in this category. New developments and renovations in this area are usually well-composed with the natural context, although the scale and number of multi-family investments are limited. The quality of public elements (sidewalks, lighting, small architecture) ranges from average to good — there are no intensive revitalization programs like in the center, but there are also no significant neglects. Aesthetic coherence is high at the landscape level and in low-rise buildings, but lower when evaluating the architectural detail of facades and single-family garages/additions. In the context of urban policies regarding greenery and revalorization (City Gardener's Office), Głębokie-Pilchowo benefits from a good natural environment, even if it is not the main beneficiary of municipal renovation programs for tenement houses. Residents' opinions and local observations indicate that the district is attractive to those seeking contact with nature and peaceful housing, which aligns with the findings of research materials. The main risks are local heterogeneity of facades and a potential lack of aesthetic coordination in minor additions, which may fragmentarily disrupt coherence. Overall, the natural values, high proportion of single-family housing, and relatively good maintenance of properties justify a rating of "very good" (5). To refine the rating to "excellent," stronger support for the renovation of architectural details, more cohesive aesthetic guidelines for buildings, and potential programs for improving small infrastructure would be necessary. I recommend conducting a detailed audit of facades (Street View photographs) and a short survey among residents to identify local "black spots" and accurately assess the scale of necessary interventions.

Głębokie-Pilchowo is a district with a significant predominance of green areas and a relatively low building density. The preliminary analysis identified the presence of basic retail points — neighborhood shops and sporadic grocery outlets. The gastronomic offer is limited; there is no concentration of restaurants and cafes comparable to the city center. The availability of pharmacies and medical facilities is lower than in the central parts of the city. Bank branches and ATMs are less common, so residents often use devices in nearby larger neighborhoods or in the center. There are relatively many Polish Post offices in Szczecin, but without detailed mapping, a strong presence of post offices directly in Głębokie-Pilchowo has not been demonstrated. Personal services, such as hairdressers or beauty salons, operate in the form of a few local points, but the choice and range of services are more modest than in more urbanized neighborhoods. The lack of large shopping centers within the district limits access to a wide range of chain stores and specialized points. Residents usually travel to Galeria Turzyn, Galeria Kaskada, or the center for larger purchases or specialized services. The public transport network (ZDiTM) partially compensates for the smaller service base, but access strongly depends on connections and travel time. The opening hours of local shops are usually standard; the lack of 24-hour pharmacies or larger stores may be felt outside of working hours. In terms of the diversity of trade and services, Głębokie-Pilchowo ranks below districts with a strong commercial base but above the most peripheral and industrial areas. The quality of commercial and service infrastructure meets the daily needs of residents, but is limited when it comes to specialized services or a greater gastronomic choice. The potential for service growth depends on the development of construction and local demand — any gradual expansion of the neighborhood could improve the offer. Based on a review of sources and preliminary observations, I recommend a rating of '3' (average) on a scale of 1–6. This rating reflects the balance: access to basic shops and a few local services versus a shortage of pharmacies, banks, restaurants, and shopping centers. For those seeking a rich service offer, a better choice would be the city center, Turzyn, or Pogodno. If you wish, I can conduct detailed mapping of specific addresses of shops, pharmacies, and post offices in Głębokie-Pilchowo (with district verification using the map_address_to_district function) — this will allow for a more precise verification and possibly correction of the rating.

Based on the collected materials, Głębokie-Pilchowo has been identified as a district with low access to cultural life. Within this area, there are no major theaters, independent cinemas, museums, or concert venues. The presence of multiplexes or professional music clubs operating permanently in this district has not been observed. Local cultural initiatives occur sporadically and are of a neighborhood or outdoor nature, utilizing green spaces and the lake as event venues. The offering of high-profile events (festivals, premieres, large exhibitions) is limited and requires travel to the city center. Public cultural centers and galleries are rare in the area, or their absence translates into a small number of regular artistic activities. Access to a richer cultural offering is possible through connections to the center, but it depends on the mobility of residents and travel time. Residents' opinions and local portals signal a deficit of permanent cultural meeting places outside the center. At the same time, the district has the advantage of natural features that favor the organization of outdoor events and seasonal cultural recreation. However, there is a lack of infrastructure for the independent scene, youth artistic initiatives, or music clubs. Educational programs and exhibitions are mainly available in municipal institutions outside of Głębokie-Pilchowo. From the perspective of the criteria: the diversity of places and institutions is low, nightlife and entertainment are limited, access to theaters and museums requires travel, and the frequency of local events is not high. Development potential exists through the use of outdoor spaces and support for local initiatives, but without infrastructural and programmatic intervention, the district will remain a peripheral cultural zone. The rating of 2 (poor) reflects these limitations and the residents' dependence on the offerings of the city center. I recommend further detailed mapping of places and exploring opportunities to strengthen the offering through a cultural center, mobile programs, and better promotion of local events.

Głębokie-Pilchowo significantly benefits from its direct proximity to the Szczecin Landscape Park Puszcza Bukowa, which provides a large area of greenery accessible to residents. This area offers extensive walking and cycling trails, popular among runners and mountain bikers. Due to the forested character of the district, natural areas dominate over formal urban parks. In practice, this means a high quality of space for those seeking contact with nature, peace, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. However, there is a noticeable lack of urban playgrounds, publicly accessible school sports fields, and small neighborhood parks. The availability of infrastructure typical for families with small children is limited compared to the central districts of the city. The network of official bike paths of urban standard is less developed within the built-up part of Głębokie-Pilchowo than in the city center. Nevertheless, the natural trails in Puszcza Bukowa serve a recreational and cycling function, partially compensating for the lack of asphalt paths. The quality and maintenance of forest areas and trails are generally good, while information about systematic infrastructure (lighting, benches, bins) is less available. Residents are likely to rate the district positively if proximity to the forest and the possibility of outdoor activities are priorities. For those expecting regular urban recreational amenities (playgrounds, skateparks, sports fields, etc.), the offerings may seem insufficient. Additionally, accessibility and distances to some urban sports facilities may be greater than in the central districts. As part of city programs (e.g., "Parks for Szczecinians"), some investments are directed to other areas, which reduces the pressure to develop neighborhood infrastructure here. A positive aspect is the great variety of recreational forms in the immediate surroundings: hiking, running, MTB, nature observation. However, there is a lack of information about larger playground projects or outdoor gyms in the district in available sources. In summary, Głębokie-Pilchowo offers high natural and recreational potential, especially for forest lovers and outdoor activities. However, it scores lower in the category of urban infrastructure, availability of organized sports facilities, and playgrounds for families. Recommended improvements include supplementing small neighborhood infrastructure (pocket parks, playgrounds, benches, lighting) and better linking natural trails with urban paths. Due to the above strengths and weaknesses, I rate the district as "very good" in terms of greenery and recreation. This assessment takes into account the dominance of high-quality natural areas and the limitations in formal urban infrastructure.

I give a rating of 5. Głębokie-Pilchowo is an area characterized by villas and a strong connection to green spaces, which affects the overall state of technical infrastructure. The main access roads are usually in good technical condition and are occasionally repaired by municipal services. Smaller side streets have narrower surfaces in places and local defects, especially near forested areas. Sidewalks on main routes are generally renovated and accessible for pedestrians, but there is a lack of a complete network of sidewalks in the outskirts. The availability of street lighting is good in the built-up part of the district, but lighting can be limited along recreational paths and in the forest area. The water and sewage system is mostly connected to the municipal ZWiK network, which ensures stability in supply and sewage disposal. In some parts of new single-family housing, there may still be individual connections or the need for modernization of pipes. Electrical power in the district is generally stable; occasional outages are typical for the entire city and not specific to this district. Coverage by the telecommunications network and access to high-speed internet are at a good level — both fixed and mobile operators serve this area. Waste collection services operate according to municipal schedules, providing a good basis for waste management. The overall level of maintenance is above average for Szczecin, which results from the villa character and the residents' and city's interest in maintaining the quality of the space. Compared to city centers, the pace of investment may be slower, as the city hall concentrates some larger renovations in the downtown area. At the same time, local programs and the Civic Budget indicate active initiatives to improve lighting and sidewalks in the western districts, which positively influences future changes in Głębokie-Pilchowo. Issues reported by residents mainly concern the lack of continuity of sidewalks, limited lighting in green areas, and occasionally neglected road shoulders. Heavy traffic and related nuisances are limited compared to industrial districts, which positively affects the durability of local road surfaces. Pedestrian safety is good in built-up areas, but improvements are needed on walking sections and at forest entrances. If planning a move, it is worth checking a specific section of the street for recent repairs and the availability of fiber optics from the chosen operator. Compared to the entire city, Głębokie-Pilchowo ranks rather in the upper part of the scale of technical infrastructure quality. Therefore, I propose a rating of 5 (very good), with the caveat that some sidewalks and lighting in natural areas need improvement.

The assessment is based on the analysis of the city's acoustic maps (2019), data and observations included in the research context, and general criteria: traffic intensity, proximity to industrial sources, availability of green areas, and residents' relations. Głębokie-Pilchowo is located near Lake Głębokie and extensive recreational areas that act as a natural buffer against noise and pollution. Acoustic maps indicate lower levels of noise emissions in this area compared to the central arteries of Szczecin. The district does not directly border industrial zones or major transit routes, which limits the impact of road noise and traffic emissions. Local noise sources are rather sporadic (commuting traffic, occasional construction work, or recreational events by the lake) and are usually of a short-term nature. Air quality in this part of the city is generally better than in port areas and high-traffic centers, although seasonal deteriorations (heating season) should be noted, which can raise PM2.5/PM10 concentrations. The network of automatic GIOŚ stations does not cover all micro-areas, so local air conditions may vary — it is recommended to check current readings before making housing decisions. The cleanliness of the streets in Głębokie-Pilchowo is rated as good; available information about the activities of the Municipal Guard and local cleaning initiatives indicates moderate to high effectiveness in maintaining order. Residents' relations in the analyzed materials do not indicate recurring, systemic complaints related to noise or pollution in this district. Potential environmental risks include local recreational traffic by the lake (weekend peaks) and possible roadworks or investments that may temporarily increase emissions and noise. A limitation of this assessment is the use of acoustic maps from 2019 and the relatively low density of local air sensors — current GIOŚ measurements and a direct field visit (at different times of the day) will provide more precise data. In summary: Głębokie-Pilchowo offers very good conditions in terms of noise and pollution (rating 5/6) — it is a good location for those who value silence and contact with nature, with the caveat of monitoring seasonal changes in air quality and any potential local construction work.

The assessment is based on the context of the preliminary study, where for Głębokiego-Pilchowa, the presence of listings was noted, but without a confirmed number. The availability of listings has been marked as lower than in the central districts, suggesting a limited volume of available apartments and houses. The listing count on Otodom requires clarification, which complicates accurate estimation; however, the description clearly indicates low market activity. In practice, the district has relatively few advertisements compared to the areas of Śródmieścia, Pomorzan, or Stołczyna. The diversity of building types is limited — single-family homes and low-intensity development prevail, which reduces the number of available rental apartments. New construction and developer activity in Głębokiego-Pilchowa do not seem significant compared to the concentration of investments in Śródmieściu and Stołczynie. This translates to weaker future supply and fewer listings appearing cyclically on portals. From the perspective of a tenant or buyer, finding a suitable apartment may require a longer time and more monitoring of advertisements. The low volume of listings also suggests lower market liquidity — longer turnover times and rarer transactions. The vacancy rate is likely low, which may indicate limited supply with stable local demand. The availability of communication and infrastructure may affect attractiveness but does not compensate for the limited number of listings. For investors seeking quick turnover, the market may be less interesting due to the low volume. For buyers looking for single-family homes, the district may be attractive, but the number of available properties remains limited. The lack of strong developer activity means less diversity of new, ready-to-move-in apartments. Overall availability for short-term rentals (e.g., for students) is likely low due to the building profile and distance from service centers. Considering all criteria (number of listings, diversity, investments, market liquidity), I assess the availability as poor. The assessment may be raised upon obtaining accurate counts from Otodom/miastooferuje — if they show a greater volume than I assume. I recommend supplementing the data with the actual number of sales and rental listings and a breakdown into apartments vs. houses vs. commercial properties to make a final revision of the assessment. In the absence of this data, my assessment remains conservative; therefore, I give a rating of 2 (Poor) with the caveat of possible adjustment upon obtaining complete listing counts.

The median price per m² in Głębokie‑Pilchowo is approximately 9,072 PLN/m², which is about 5–6% above the city average (approximately 8,640 PLN/m² according to SonarHome), directly reducing the affordability of purchasing. The character of the district — more suburban, with a higher proportion of single-family homes and segments — drives up prices and decreases the number of cheaper studios or apartments for budget-conscious buyers. As a result, the average buyer requires a larger down payment and incurs higher mortgage payments than with the city average. From a rental perspective, demand for larger family apartments may be stable, but rental rates do not fully compensate for the higher purchase price (lower potential returns for investors). In terms of price stability, the district is likely moderately stable — its attractiveness to families and proximity to green areas supports demand, but broader market corrections (according to NBP and industry reports) also affect this area. The quality of life and the share of single-family housing increase value, but worsen the quality-to-price ratio from the perspective of a buyer seeking affordability. The diversity of the offer is limited — fewer cheap options, more segments and houses — which makes it difficult for buyers with smaller budgets to enter the market. Therefore, the burden of housing costs relative to local incomes will be relatively higher than the average in Szczecin. From a value-for-money perspective, Głębokie‑Pilchowo offers better spatial conditions and often a higher standard, but this comes at an above-average cost. Short-term trends indicate greater seasonality and possible offer corrections, which may slightly alleviate price pressure, but do not change the fact that price levels remain above average. For first-time buyers, the district is not an optimal choice unless the priority is space and greenery at the cost of higher expenses. For families seeking comfort and tranquility, Głębokie‑Pilchowo makes sense, but this comes at the expense of financial affordability. From an investor's perspective for rental purposes, the location may provide stable demand for family segments, but not necessarily the highest return on investment. The balance between demand and limited supply of more expensive types of housing supports prices above the average. Future outlook: if demand for space and greenery remains, price pressure may persist, although overall market corrections may hinder rapid increases. In assessing affordability criteria — purchase, budget burden, diversity of offer, and value for money — the district scores lower than average, hence a rating of 2 on a scale of 1–6. In summary: Głębokie‑Pilchowo is a qualitatively attractive location, but less affordable and less suitable for buyers with a limited budget.

Głębokie-Pilchowo is a suburban, green part of Szczecin with a low population density, which translates to a lower number of crime reports compared to the city center. The available working materials do not contain numerous media reports of serious crimes in this district, indicating relatively good public safety conditions. The presence of police and Municipal Guard structures in Szczecin ensures an overall network of patrols, but peripheral areas are not patrolled as intensively as the center, which is typical and reduces the intensity of immediate service presence. ZDiTM is conducting lighting modernization programs in the city; however, materials indicate that Głębokie-Pilchowo still has poorly lit green areas, parks, and walking paths. The weaker lighting in these areas negatively affects the feeling of safety at night and increases the risk of minor incidents or acts of vandalism in less frequented places. Residents of green areas often report the need for better lighting of crossings and paths—such concerns also appear in local infrastructure recommendations. The National Map of Threats and local forums do not indicate significant crime hotspots in Głębokie-Pilchowo, which supports a positive assessment, but the lack of a public, complete compilation of district statistics limits full verification. In a comparative situation, the district performs better than central and industrial areas, where reports are significantly more numerous. The availability of service points and lower night traffic contribute to a calmer character of the area, but at the same time, the smaller number of pedestrians after dark reduces natural social surveillance. Municipal services declare a Municipal Guard patrol system 24/7, but the practical frequency of checks in peripheral areas may be lower than in the center. From the perspective of emergency accessibility, the distance to larger police stations or emergency units is important—these factors are moderate in Głębokie-Pilchowo and do not signal significant barriers. Recommended actions to confirm include exporting reports from MMZB and requesting statistics from KMP for an accurate picture of offenses and crimes at the neighborhood level. In summary, the area provides residents with a high level of tranquility and relative safety during the day and generally low crime, which is why I assess it as "very good" on the safety scale. However, the final assessment of evening safety is lowered by poorly lit areas and lower natural social surveillance after dark, which is the main area for improvement. Investments in lighting paths, monitoring strategic locations, and targeted night patrols would be the most effective actions to improve residents' sense of safety. After collecting detailed data from KMP and exporting MMZB, the assessment may be verified upward or downward depending on the actual number and nature of reports.

1) Głębokie-Pilchowo is mainly served by buses, and there is no extensive tram network, which limits the number and quality of direct connections to the center. 2) The number of stops within the district is moderate — there are stops along the main routes, but there is no dense network within the neighborhoods. 3) I would rate the frequency of services as average: during peak hours, availability is satisfactory, but outside peak times, services are less frequent than in central districts. 4) Connections to the center usually require a longer bus ride or a transfer to tram routes closer to the western border of the city. 5) The quality of connections to other districts (e.g., Gumieńce, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn) is relatively good — there are direct bus lines connecting these areas. 6) The lack of a larger transfer hub within the district limits the possibilities for quick movement using different types of transport. 7) The fleet serving the area is mixed; new low-floor buses can be seen on the main lines, but not all services provide a high standard of travel. 8) Residents of the district were not mentioned in the study as particularly dissatisfied, but general comments from the context indicate typical peripheral issues: less frequent services and longer travel times. 9) I would rate the punctuality and reliability of services in the area as average — delays and disruptions occur, especially during tram network repairs outside the district. 10) Accessibility for people with limited mobility is gradually improving thanks to fleet modernization and some bus stops, but it is still not a uniform standard. 11) Compared to the center, Pogodno, or Niebuszewo, Głębokie-Pilchowo offers worse rapid tram connections and lower service frequency. 12) Compared to the most peripheral areas of the right bank (e.g., Dąbie, Podjuchy), the situation is somewhat better, as the district has relatively better bus connections to the western parts of the city. 13) Planned changes in the regional offer (SKM/Polregio) are unlikely to significantly improve direct communication in Głębokie-Pilchowo unless new SKM stops are planned in its immediate vicinity. 14) Gaps in transfer infrastructure and a limited number of tram lines are the main weaknesses. 15) Strengths include the presence of direct bus connections to nearby hubs and relatively easy access to western urban routes. 16) For people working in the center, commuting will be possible, but longer and less comfortable than from districts with better tram connections. 17) Recommendations for improvement include increasing frequency during key hours, better connections to tram hubs, and refining stops and transfer connections. 18) Considering the number of stops, frequency and quality of connections to the center and other districts, as well as residents' opinions, I rate the service as average. 19) A score of 3 on a

Kijewo is a peripheral district with mixed development, which results in a varied aesthetic. In the gathered context, it is described as an area with moderate to low aesthetics, featuring a large amount of open space. The extensive open space and the presence of greenery are assets that enhance the overall perception of the urban landscape. However, the lack of coordinated, larger revitalization investments leads to fragmented and inconsistent facade renovations. As a result, the condition of the facades can be uneven — ranging from well-maintained to neglected over short stretches of streets. The district does not possess significant monuments or strong historical features that could enhance its architectural appeal. Urbanistically, Kijewo is less cohesive than the villa areas of the city or the restored parts of the city center, which negatively affects aesthetic perception. Architectural diversity is evident, but it often stems from a lack of spatial planning rather than thoughtful composition. The integration of greenery with the built environment is relatively good compared to densely built quarters, which is a significant plus. New developments and modernizations are limited, so the quality of contemporary construction remains average. The quality of street infrastructure and lighting on the outskirts may be lower, affecting nighttime aesthetics and daily use of the space. Residents and local sources suggest paying attention to the availability of services and the condition of roads when making decisions about living there. Kijewo is not among the most beautiful districts of Szczecin, but it is also not completely neglected — it ranks in the middle of the scale. There is potential for improvement if the city expands revitalization programs to peripheral areas. Compared to the highest-rated districts (Pogodno, Warszewo, Stare Miasto), Kijewo performs worse in terms of facade aesthetics and urban coherence. At the same time, those who value tranquility, space, and direct contact with greenery may find this district attractive. I recommend a local audit of facades and infrastructure to more precisely identify areas requiring intervention. Considering the above criteria — architectural attractiveness, condition of facades, urban coherence, integration of greenery, and lack of distinct historical values — the most appropriate rating is 3 (average), reflecting the moderate yet improvable aesthetics of Kijewo's development.

Kijewo is characterized by a low density of commercial and service points compared to Śródmieście, Turzyn, or other central areas of the city. Preliminary contextual research has shown that the offerings in the district are typically suburban and mainly consist of individual neighborhood shops. Chain discount stores and supermarkets are less common directly in Kijewo, so residents often have to travel for larger shopping trips. The gastronomic offer is limited — there is a lack of diverse restaurants and cafes that are available closer to the center. Pharmacies and medical facilities are not densely distributed; in many cases, access to a pharmacy will require a short trip. The number of bank branches and ATMs is limited, making it difficult to access a full range of financial services locally. A postal facility may not be located directly within Kijewo, despite the overall network of Poczta Polska in the city. Personal services, such as hairdressers or beauty salons, occur sporadically — individual establishments dominate rather than a developed offer. The absence of a large shopping center within the district translates into the necessity of using resources from Turzyn, Galaxy, or the city center. The availability of services largely depends on public transport connections (ZDiTM); although transportation allows for access, it usually involves additional travel time. Residents' opinions included in working sources confirm that larger shopping and specialized services are conducted outside of Kijewo. The opening hours of local points are typical for neighborhood shops, but there are no 24-hour pharmacies or supermarkets, which reduces convenience. The commercial infrastructure is functional in nature but lacks attractive elements (service centers, galleries). From the perspective of future residents, Kijewo offers tranquility and a suburban character, but less convenient access to a wide range of services. A rating of 2 on a scale of 1–6 reflects this limited availability of services and shops: it is a "poor" level, indicating weak access to trade and services. To improve this rating, investments in local commerce (e.g., opening a discount store/supermarket), a greater number of pharmacies and service points, or better connections to nearby centers would be needed. I can refine this assessment by mapping specific service addresses and counting the number of points within a 1–2 km radius from the neighborhood's center.

The assessment is based on a collected urban study, which consistently indicates that the main cultural centers of Szczecin are concentrated in the city center, while Kijewo is listed as a district with low access to cultural life. In Kijewo, no significant institutions such as theaters, museums, or independent cinemas have been recorded, which significantly limits the diversity of cultural offerings directly available to residents. The club scene and nightlife are practically absent or very limited, so the criterion for entertainment infrastructure scores poorly. Access to theaters, cinemas, and museums requires traveling to the center or other districts, which reduces the convenience of participating in cultural events. The frequency and quality of local cultural events are low — sporadic school, parish, or minor outdoor events organized occasionally dominate. Social activity and local clubs exist to a limited extent; there is a lack of large district cultural centers and creative spaces such as studios, local galleries, or coworking spaces with artistic programs. Cultural programming in Kijewo is poorly diversified and rarely includes exhibitions, concerts, or urban film screenings. The lack of a visible offering increases residents' dependence on public transport or cars to take advantage of central offerings. From the perspective of program diversity and representation of various artistic trends, the district scores poorly. The cultural atmosphere and social vitality related to culture are limited — there is a lack of natural cultural meeting points, cafes with music programs, or small stages. Residents on forums and in the study signal a deficit of integrative spaces, which confirms the diagnosis of low availability of cultural offerings. The infrastructure supporting outdoor events (stage, organization of city festivals) can be used occasionally, but it does not replace permanent cultural institutions. The positive aspects are the quiet, residential character of the district and the possibility of organizing local neighborhood initiatives, which, however, require organizational and financial support. From the perspective of assessment criteria: diversity of places — very low; entertainment and nightlife options — very limited; access to theaters/cinemas/museums — requires travel; frequency of events — low; social activity — moderate to low; creative spaces — practically absent; programming and cultural diversity — limited. Consequently, the proposed score is 2 (poor), reflecting the need for significant enrichment of the local cultural offering or better integration with the urban event calendar to improve accessibility and cultural vibrancy for the residents of Kijewo.

In the available context, there is a lack of direct, detailed address data regarding Kijewo, therefore the assessment is based on the analysis of trends and characteristics of districts with a similar profile (Prawobrzeże: Majowe, Podjuchy, Zdroje, etc.). Kijewo appears to represent a typical structure of a peripheral district of Szczecin: residential areas and open spaces prevail, rather than large urban parks in the style of Kasprowicza or Jasne Błonia. The number and area of large parks in Kijewo are likely limited, which lowers the assessment in the category of "number and size of green areas." On the other hand, current municipal programs (e.g., "Parks for Szczecin residents") and recent investments in Prawobrzeże (Majowe Park, Freedom Park in Podjuchy) indicate a gradual increase in recreational offerings in the area, which works in favor of Kijewo. The infrastructure of playgrounds and outdoor gyms in similar parts of the city has been developed, but the distribution of these facilities can be scattered — hence the assessment in the area of "accessibility of playgrounds and sports fields" is moderate. The quality and maintenance of green areas in the city are rated by residents as mixed; this urban phenomenon also affects the perception of Kijewo. The network of bike paths is being developed in Szczecin, but the density and coherence of routes in peripheral areas are usually lower than in the center, so the score for cycling infrastructure is moderate. The variety of recreational activities (sports fields, playgrounds, water points) is limited compared to central districts, but residents of Kijewo can benefit from investments made in nearby right-bank neighborhoods. Resident satisfaction in similar districts is mixed: they appreciate the greenery and new playgrounds, but complain about maintenance and safety in some places. The distance to the nearest larger park or reserve for residents of Kijewo may be greater than in central districts, which reduces the convenience of daily access to large recreational spaces. Overall green coverage at the neighborhood level is sufficient for basic needs for walking and children's play, but there is a lack of large, organized multifunctional spaces. Positive factors include increasing municipal investments in the right bank and the presence of open areas that can be developed. Negative factors include the lack of a central large park, scattered recreational equipment, and a moderate network of bike and pedestrian paths. Considering the above elements and the lack of precise, Kijewo-specific data in the context, the assessment of "4 — good" seems adequate: Kijewo offers decent quality of greenery and recreation, but has clear potential for improvement. To increase the precision of the assessment, I recommend conducting detailed mapping of facilities (parks, playgrounds, sports fields, ROD) assigned to specific addresses in Kijewo and verifying the distance to the largest parks and the availability of bike paths; for this purpose, I suggest using the map

The assessment is based on preliminary materials and general observations for suburban districts in Szczecin (including Kijewo). Available sources indicate that Kijewo has infrastructure typical of single-family and suburban housing estates — in many places, road surfaces are in satisfactory condition, but there are local dirt roads or side sections that require hardening. Sidewalks and pedestrian accessibility are mixed: along main streets, there are often sidewalks in good condition, while neighborhood streets may lack paved pedestrian paths or have defects requiring repair. Street lighting works in most places; however, conclusions from the Civic Budget show that residents report a need for additional lighting on some pedestrian paths and neighborhood streets, suggesting areas with insufficient light intensity. The water and sewage network in Kijewo is mostly connected to municipal systems; general modernization programs of ZWiK indicate that the quality and reliability of water supply and sewage disposal are at a municipal level, although local repair work may cause temporary inconveniences. Electrical power is rated as stable — throughout the city, there are occasional planned outages and sporadic failures, but there are no signals of chronic problems specific to Kijewo. Access to fixed and mobile internet is good at the city level; in practice, the availability of fiber optics or specific offers depends on the exact address, so it is worth checking this before moving. The waste management system is serviced by municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin) and operates standardly, with no reports of significant problems specific to this district. The maintenance of infrastructure in Kijewo is moderate — repair and modernization work occurs, but not at the pace seen in the city center or priority districts. Overall, Kijewo ranks above average for right-bank/peripheral areas (where conditions have often been worse), but below the best villa districts of Szczecin in terms of the regularity of repairs and the full provision of sidewalks and lighting. The lack of detailed investment documents and tenders assigned exclusively to Kijewo in the provided material limits the precision of the assessment, so the issued note is cautious and reflects a state of "good, but with noticeable shortcomings." I recommend further steps: checking the list of repairs from ZDiTM and BIP for specific streets in Kijewo, verifying SBO projects regarding reported investments in this district, and possibly mapping specific addresses to clarify the availability of fiber optics and the history of water and sewage works. If needed, I can assign specific streets/addresses in Kijewo to the district and review available tenders and investment reports to refine the assessment.

The assessment is based on the analysis of acoustic maps (Geoportal 2019), general characteristics of Prawobrzeże, and available data on air quality and residents' feedback. Kijewo is located in Prawobrzeże and has a mixed character—some areas are quiet, but there are also sections closer to routes and areas generating noise. Acoustic maps indicate that road noise levels in Kijewo are moderate and elevated in places near communication routes. There are no large, permanent industrial sources directly within the neighborhood; however, the proximity of other parts of Prawobrzeże may affect periodic noise disturbances. Air quality throughout Szczecin experiences seasonal fluctuations— the lack of a dense network of sensors means that local differences in Kijewo are not well documented, but typical deteriorations can be expected during the heating season (PM2.5/PM10). The cleanliness of the streets in the district is rated as average; cleaning activities and residents' initiatives occur, but local littering issues may arise near roadside and waterfront areas. Nighttime disturbances are reported less frequently than in the center or near major arteries, but they can occur near access roads or areas with heavier traffic. Residents' feedback indicates occasional nuisances from truck traffic and roadworks in the vicinity. Monitoring by GIOŚ (publicly available stations) does not provide high resolution for Kijewo, so it is recommended to check current readings before making a relocation decision. The lack of large green areas within the district limits natural noise-buffering and pollution-filtering compared to greener neighborhoods. Road investments and traffic organization in the city may periodically worsen acoustic conditions in Kijewo—it's worth keeping an eye on announcements from ZDiTM. Overall, Kijewo offers conditions typical for many parts of Prawobrzeże: it is neither particularly problematic nor very favorable in terms of noise and pollution. Therefore, I assign a rating of "3" on a scale of 1–6 (Average), reflecting a mix of environmental advantages and limitations. Practical recommendation: when choosing an apartment in Kijewo, check the specific street in relation to the nearest arteries and tracks, visit the location at different times of the day, and check current GIOŚ readings on the day of your decision. If you wish, I can prepare detailed noise measurements for specific streets or check the distance of the indicated address from major sources of noise and industry.

Available information in the working context indicates that for Kijewo, no specific offer counts have been recorded yet and that "offers are less frequent than in central districts." In practice, this means a small number of listings for both sale and rental compared to the areas of the city center or large housing estates. The number of available properties directly affects the ease of finding an apartment — Kijewo has less variety in offers, making it difficult to match an offer to specific demand. According to assessment criteria, the quantity of offers and the diversity of types of apartments/houses in this district are limited. There is no mention of significant new development investments in Kijewo, so future supply does not seem likely to increase significantly in the near term. The lack of strong developer activity also translates into a smaller selection of new apartments and limited options for buyers looking for modern solutions. In terms of rentals, the availability of offers is likely modest, which may lead to longer search times and less competition among landlords. Weaker turnover of listings (fewer advertisements and transactions) usually indicates a slower market and a lower likelihood of quickly finding a suitable property. The variety of sizes and layouts of apartments is likely limited — in smaller, less urbanized districts, specific types of buildings (single-family homes or low-rise blocks) tend to dominate. Infrastructure and transport accessibility affect attractiveness, but the available materials do not provide strong signals that Kijewo stands out positively in this regard in terms of attracting housing supply. Vacancy and turnover rates for apartments have not been provided for this district, which increases the uncertainty of the assessment; however, the general information about the rarity of offers suggests low mobility in the local market. From the perspective of an investor or someone looking for quick rental/purchase, Kijewo offers a smaller pool of choices than districts with medium and high availability. It is recommended to supplement the data — by obtaining the number of listings from sources such as Otodom/Morizon and miastooferuje, as well as analyzing the division between sales vs. rentals — to confirm and possibly refine the assessment. Given the current state of knowledge, the most appropriate assessment of availability is "2 – poor," reflecting the limited number of offers, little variety, and lack of visible developer activity. This assessment assumes a conservative approach to incomplete data and recommends further collection of hard offer counts before potentially reducing the uncertainty of the assessment. If, after supplementing the data, information about a greater number of listings or new projects emerges, the assessment should be revised.

Kijewo has a median price of around 8,917 PLN/m², which places it slightly above the city median (approximately 8,640 PLN/m²). This translates to a moderately higher entry barrier for typical buyers compared to the city average. Rental prices in Kijewo are likely similar to city rates, with a slight premium due to its suburban character and a larger number of houses. The price stability index is moderate — reports from NBP and SonarHome show corrections and market volatility, but Kijewo does not seem extremely unstable. In terms of value for money, the district compensates for the higher price with better space and a portion of single-family homes, which can be particularly attractive for families. The burden of housing costs in relation to local incomes should be close to the average, with a slight shift towards higher expenses. Short-term trends indicate moderate demand pressure due to family preferences and suburban characteristics. For rental investors, Kijewo offers stable demand, but likely lower returns than cheaper districts with a lower entry price. The variety of offerings is average — there are both multi-family apartments and houses, but there is a lack of a large pool of very cheap options. Availability for buyers with a limited budget is lower than in districts assessed as more affordable (e.g., Skolwin, Wielgowo). However, the quality of life and larger space may justify the higher price for certain buyers. The expected medium-term scenario is to maintain prices slightly above the average with moderate volatility. Risk factors include changes in credit conditions and local infrastructure investments that could accelerate growth or cause price corrections. From a market fairness perspective, Kijewo is neither extremely expensive nor exceptionally cheap — it ranks in the middle. For first-time buyers, more affordable areas may be better, but Kijewo is a reasonable option for those seeking a quieter suburban location. For families looking for homes, the district may be attractive despite the higher price. The assessment is primarily based on data from SonarHome and market generalizations contained in the provided report. To accurately evaluate a specific case, I recommend analyzing offers at the street level and checking credit conditions and operating costs. Preparing a detailed analysis of streets/specific offers can provide a more accurate picture of affordability for your situation.

The assessment is based on collected, working material regarding the safety of Szczecin, in which Kijewo is described as a more suburban area with a low number of serious reports. There is a lack of publicly available, detailed statistics from the Municipal Police Headquarters broken down by all districts, therefore the assessment primarily considers a synthesis of available sources: police announcements, information from the Municipal Guard, reports from the National Threat Map, and local accounts. In the Kijewo area, no significant patterns of increased crime reported in the media have been noted, which supports an above-average rating. The Municipal Guard declares 24/7 patrols in its divisions, and the police conduct preventive actions — this increases the sense of security, especially on main streets and in critical points. The ZDiTM is modernizing lighting (replacing it with LED, illuminating crossings), and where night investments have been made, residents' sense of security usually increases. At the same time, reports from the city indicate that acts of vandalism (e.g., cutting lighting cables) can locally reduce the effectiveness of the lighting network — this also applies to peripheral areas. Opinions from residents collected in other districts suggest a recurring demand for "more patrols," so constant communication with local district officers and responses to reports from the MMZB are also important for Kijewo. Nighttime pedestrian traffic and the availability of emergency services are rated as good — there are no signals of extended response times for services in the context of this district. However, there are places typical of suburbs (e.g., paths between housing estates, green areas) that may be poorly lit and require local interventions. Typical risks for Kijewo include petty thefts, potential break-ins to single-family homes, and vandalism, but there are no signals of increased violent crime. The assessment also took into account the fact that in areas with lower building density, a smaller number of reports does not always mean a lack of problems — it may also result from fewer patrols or reports from residents. I recommend supplementing this assessment by exporting reports from the National Threat Map for Kijewo and requesting 12-month statistics from the Municipal Police Headquarters according to the precinct area, which will allow for potential adjustment of the assessment. I also recommend comparing the map of modernized lighting from ZDiTM with the locations of reports — where lighting is insufficient, it is worth considering actions within the SBO or technical interventions. In summary: Kijewo deserves a rating of 4 (good) for its relatively low intensity of reports and sufficient lighting and patrol infrastructure, with the caveat that full confirmation requires obtaining detailed data from the MMZB and statistics from the KMP, as well as reviewing the state of lighting in peripheral areas.

Kijewo in the analyzed sources appears as a district with limited stop infrastructure and a dominance of bus connections. The number of stops within the district is relatively small compared to urban areas, which increases the walking distance for some residents. The public transport network in Kijewo is mainly based on bus lines; the lack of significant direct tram connections limits capacity and service frequency. The frequency of services during peak hours is moderate, dropping to less frequent services outside of peak times — typical for peripheral areas described in the sources ZDiTM and rozklad.szczecin.pl. Direct, fast connections to the city center are limited, often requiring transfers at intermediate hubs and extending the total travel time. Connections to other districts are possible, but usually less convenient than in areas with trams — transfers and longer bus routes worsen comfort. Kijewo does not have significant transfer hubs or large loops that would improve network coherence and facilitate direct transfers. In the surveyed opinions of residents and local reports, there are complaints about the need for frequent transfers and extended travel times. The quality of the fleet on the lines serving Kijewo is mixed — while newer, low-floor vehicles can be more frequently found in the center, older buses are encountered on peripheral lines. Reliability and punctuality are rated as average; overall delays in the network can also affect service to the district. Accessibility for people with limited mobility is gradually improving citywide, but the pace of stop modernization in Kijewo may be slower than in more privileged areas. Compared to districts rated 4–6 in the study, Kijewo performs worse in terms of network density, number of direct connections, and frequency. Planned systemic changes (e.g., development of SKM or regional schedule adjustments) are unlikely to bring quick, direct improvements for Kijewo, which remains more dependent on buses. From the perspective of daily commutes to work and urban services, residents of Kijewo typically need more time and more transfers than residents of well-connected areas. Negative factors include less frequent services outside peak hours, limited night service, and a lack of frequent, direct lines to major hubs. A positive aspect is the relatively stable bus service — the network operates regularly and allows access to the city with reasonable planning. The rating of 3/6 thus reflects an average level of service: Kijewo is not an extremely poorly served area, but it lacks features that enhance the attractiveness of public transport (denser network, trams, strong hubs). To improve the situation, I recommend: increasing the frequency of key bus lines, improving direct connections to the center, and creating more convenient transfer hubs. Further, detailed mapping of stops and analysis of travel times (proposed steps A/B from the report) will allow for more precise planning of interventions and verification of the assessment.

Krzekowo-Bezrzecze is primarily characterized by low single-family and villa housing with a cohesive character. This spatial arrangement gives the district an impression of orderliness and aesthetics, with a clear scale of development. Architecturally, well-maintained single-family homes dominate, featuring a diverse yet coherent character, which positively influences the visual perception of the streets. Many properties have well-kept facades, tidy gardens, and aesthetic fences, enhancing the overall positive impression. The absence of large neglected tenement houses or industrial fragments limits the negative aesthetic points typical of some peripheries. However, in terms of architectural diversity, the district does not possess a strong historical heritage or representative groups of monuments, which can be found in Pogodno or the Old Town. Urbanistically, the area is clear and cohesive — the low intensity of development and the layout of plots promote spatial harmony. The integration of greenery with the built environment is one of the district's significant assets: numerous private plantings, trees, and proximity to green areas enhance comfort and visual attractiveness. The quality of new developments is generally high; new houses and single-family estates maintain local scale and aesthetics. A drawback is the limited presence of larger public investments aimed at beautifying public spaces — revitalization funds more often go to the city center. Elements of small infrastructure (some sidewalks, fragments of lighting, neighborhood roads) can be locally average and represent an area for improvement. Chaotic extensions with mismatched scales are rarely found, which contributes to the overall stylistic coherence of the estates being a positive feature. The maintenance of private building facades is at a high level, consolidating the positive aesthetic perception of the entire district. However, the lack of impressive monuments lowers the representative and tourist potential compared to the best parts of the city. Greenery and private plantings harmonize well with the built environment, creating pleasant street panoramas and valuable recreational spaces. From the perspective of modernization and the quality of new developments, Krzekowo-Bezrzecze performs solidly — investments usually respect the scale and character of the existing buildings. The overall aesthetics are high and consistent, making the district particularly attractive for families seeking a quiet, beautiful environment. Compared to the most visually valuable parts of Szczecin, Krzekowo-Bezrzecze has lesser historical value, but it compensates for this with coherence, good condition of facades, and integration of greenery. Therefore, I recommend a rating of 5 — very good — with a recommendation to maintain investments in public infrastructure and support the beautification of street spaces to approach the level of "excellent."

Krzekowo-Bezrzecze is primarily a residential area characterized by villas and single-family homes, which affects the dispersion and lower density of service points. The area has neighborhood shops and a few small grocery stores that provide basic daily shopping needs. The availability of discount stores and larger supermarkets is limited directly within the neighborhood — residents often travel to nearby shopping centers or larger estates for bigger purchases. In terms of dining, the availability of restaurants and cafes is moderate — there are local spots, but there is a lack of the rich culinary selection known from the city center or Turzyn. Basic medical services and pharmacies are present in the immediate vicinity, but the number of pharmacies and their 24-hour services is lower than in the central districts. ATMs and bank branches are available in limited numbers; for some transactions, customers must use facilities in larger shopping centers or the city center. The Polish Post office and courier points are distributed throughout the city, so the availability of postal services is usually acceptable, although not always in the immediate vicinity of every corner of the neighborhood. Personal services such as hairdressers, beauticians, and small workshops are available locally, but the choice of salons and specialists is smaller than in more urbanized parts of Szczecin. The good quality of life and larger living spaces mean that residents rely more on cars, which compensates for the lower density of service points. Public transport (ZDiTM) provides connections, but their frequency and direct links to the largest service centers affect the perception of accessibility — during peak hours, travel times can increase. Compared to districts such as the City Center, Turzyn, or the Old Town, Krzekowo-Bezrzecze has a significantly lower concentration of dining options and chain stores. In contrast to peripheral areas with very weak infrastructure (e.g., Skolwin or Płonia), Krzekowo-Bezrzecze, however, offers a stable range of local services, which translates into the daily comfort of residents. The availability of 24-hour and specialized services (e.g., night dentistry, 24-hour pharmacy, larger specialist offices) is limited and often requires travel outside the neighborhood. The lack of large shopping centers in the area also reduces the variety of retail and financial services available on-site. However, residents appreciate local shops, bakeries, and cafes for their convenience and quality, which practically improves the daily availability of basic services. For families and individuals seeking peace and greenery, the compromise between quality of life and access to services is acceptable, which is why the rating of 4 reflects this balance. The commercial infrastructure has the potential for development with further construction and better connections to larger commercial hubs. A recommendation for those considering moving is to check specific service points (pharmacy, clinic, ATM) in the immediate vicinity of the residence, as local differences can be significant. In summary — Krzekowo-Bezrzecze provides convenient access to basic services and neighborhood shops, but lacks the richness of

Krzekowo-Bezrzecze is a predominantly residential and peripheral district, which translates into a limited number of permanent cultural institutions (theaters, cinemas, museums). In the available materials and district analysis, this unit has been identified as having low accessibility to cultural offerings. Local cultural centers and libraries, which are present in other parts of the city, are rare here or operate on a limited basis, reducing the regularity of events available without the need for travel. The club scene and nightlife are practically concentrated in the city center and on Łasztownia, so residents of Krzekowo-Bezrzecze have limited local entertainment options. Independent cinemas, larger theaters, and museums are located in the city center and the Old Town, which means that participation in cultural events requires planned transportation. The number of festivals and reviews taking place locally in this district is small; any outdoor events are occasional. The educational and artistic offerings (workshops, studios, creative spaces) are limited or require travel to other parts of the city. The assessment also took into account the opinions of residents, who point to a lack of cohesive integrative space in the periphery, which fits the image of Krzekowo-Bezrzecze. Access to public transport to the center may partially compensate for the lack of local institutions, but it does not replace a regular, local cultural offering. There is also a lack of larger social meeting places, cultural cafes, or clubs with a regular music program. Due to these limitations, the district does not offer a wide variety of programming or a rich calendar of events. A positive aspect is the typical potential for neighborly initiatives and occasional outdoor events found in residential neighborhoods, but these are less frequent than in more urbanized parts of the city. Additionally, sports and recreational infrastructure and green areas can serve as venues for simple cultural activities, but they do not replace professional stages or cinemas. As a result, the level of cultural life in Krzekowo-Bezrzecze is clearly below the city average. The rating of 2 reflects a position between extreme inaccessibility and a certain, but insufficient, local offering. To improve the rating, investments in local cultural centers, a regular program of events, and better promotion of local initiatives would be needed; however, these are recommendations beyond the assessment itself. In summary: Krzekowo-Bezrzecze has poor accessibility to culture and entertainment — basic cultural functions require travel to the center, and the local offering is limited and occasional.

Krzekowo-Bezrzecze has a suburban character with a significant presence of green areas and allotment gardens, which increases the overall green space available to residents. The number and size of formal city parks in this district are limited compared to the central parts of Szczecin, hence the lack of a large park space with urban functions. The presence of ROD (Allotment Gardens) and neighborhood greenery provides good conditions for walking and contact with nature, especially for families and gardening enthusiasts. Recreational infrastructure in the form of playgrounds and outdoor gyms exists, but it is not densely distributed and in many places may require supplementation or modernization. Context suggests that work is underway to expand the cycling network (e.g., sections on Zawadzkiego), which improves accessibility for cyclists and walkers. The quality and maintenance of existing green spaces have not been thoroughly assessed in the collected materials for this district, indicating the need for a supplementary inventory. The availability of sports facilities (fields, organized running trails) is moderate; residents have more access to open areas than to intensively developed sports complexes. The distance to larger city parks is greater than in central districts, which may affect the frequency of use of recreational spaces by those without cars. Investment activity related to city programs (e.g., expansion of bike paths) is a positive signal and may improve the assessment in the future. The variety of available activities is moderate: good conditions for walking, gardening, and informal recreation, but fewer organized activities and sports facilities. From the perspective of families with small children and seniors, the usefulness of the district depends on the location of a specific neighborhood—some areas have easy access to playgrounds, while others require a walk. The satisfaction rate of residents has not been extensively documented here, but the overall suburban and allotment character is usually associated with a positive assessment of greenery, alongside a call for infrastructure supplementation. The quality of pedestrian paths and sidewalks in recreational corridors requires verification; however, there are signals about cycling modernizations. The greenery coverage per resident is likely better than in the dense development of the center, but the density of recreational infrastructure (playgrounds, fields, gyms) is lower. There are no clear problems with pollution or lack of green areas on a district-wide scale—its main weakness is rather the dispersion and lack of intensively developed public spaces. For this reason, I assess the district as "good"—with an advantage of natural and allotment greenery and a positive development dynamic of cycling routes, but with reservations regarding the availability of consolidated, modern parks and sports infrastructure. To improve the assessment, I recommend supplementary mapping of parks and playgrounds, modernization of existing facilities, creation of small pocket parks in more densely built areas, and continuation of the expansion of safe cycling and walking routes.

The assessment is based on collected urban materials and local observations regarding the suburban districts of Szczecin. Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is mentioned in sources as one of the single-family housing estates with a relatively good standard of infrastructure, which is confirmed by real estate listings and local opinions. The quality of the surface on the main streets of the estate is at a good level — regular repairs and renovations are conducted less frequently than in the city center, but the standard is acceptable for residents. However, there are local internal and access roads with unpaved surfaces that require hardening or more frequent repairs, especially after heavy rainfall. Sidewalks in the central parts of the estate are mostly accessible and in good condition, while on the outskirts and near some new single-family developments, there are incomplete pedestrian pathways. Street lighting is operational and provides a basic level of safety; at the same time, in the SBO and residents' requests, there are calls for modernization or expansion of lighting in selected locations. The scope of the water and sewage network covers most of the buildings — ZWiK is conducting phased upgrades of the network, so the access and quality of water are generally good, although there are temporary inconveniences during modernization works. Electrical supply is usually stable; occasional planned outages and possible failures occur under extreme weather conditions, which is typical for the entire city. The availability of fixed and mobile internet is at a good level — commercial operators offer fiber optic and 5G in many locations, but it is advisable to check the availability of services for a specific address. The waste collection system operates according to municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin/MPO) and does not stand out negatively compared to other suburban districts. The maintenance of greenery and minor infrastructure elements (bus stops, local sidewalks) is carried out regularly, although repair intervals may be longer than in the central parts of the city. Projects from the Civic Budget and local initiatives indicate that residents report needs for improving parking spaces, sidewalks, and lighting, which signals that there is repair activity, but the needs remain current. Overall, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze offers comfortable infrastructure for single-family and family housing, with advantages in the availability of municipal services. The biggest risks are fragmented sections of unpaved roads, occasional lack of complete pedestrian pathways, and the need to monitor planned water-sewage and energy works. A practical recommendation for interested parties: before purchasing or moving, check the condition of a specific street (sidewalks, access hardening), the availability of fiber optic from the chosen operator, and the schedules of any municipal works. Considering the above advantages and limitations, a rating of 4 (Good) best reflects the current state of technical infrastructure in Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze.

Acoustic maps and urban analysis indicate that Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is located outside the main urban arteries, which translates to low levels of road noise. The low density of development and abundant greenery act as natural buffers against noise and air pollution. There are no large industrial or port facilities in the immediate vicinity, which in other parts of Szczecin increase levels of nuisance. Available local data and residents' reports do not indicate systematic complaints regarding nighttime noise or intensive roadworks in this district. The transportation network serves the neighborhood, but without significant transit traffic, which reduces local emissions. Air quality in the suburban areas of Szczecin is generally better than in the center; due to the greenery and lack of industrial sources, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze likely experiences more favorable PM2.5/PM10 values outside the heating season. Street cleanliness is maintained at a level comparable to other quiet suburbs — the actions of the Municipal Guard and local cleaning initiatives support the cleanliness of public spaces. The risk of local dust or strong emissions is low compared to Prawobrzeże and port areas. Nighttime nuisances are rare, as there are no concentrated entertainment venues or large parking lots generating noise. Road investments in the city may sometimes lead to temporary deterioration, but there is no evidence of chronic issues of this type in this district. However, there is a lack of a denser network of air quality sensors precisely within the neighborhood, so local fluctuations during the heating season should be confirmed with current readings from GIOŚ before making housing decisions. The acoustic maps used in the analysis are from 2019, so it is recommended to consider any infrastructural changes since then. Despite these reservations, the balance of environmental factors is very favorable for Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze. The district offers a high quality of life in terms of quietness and air cleanliness compared to the center and industrial areas of Szczecin. For those prioritizing peace and clean air, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is one of the better options in the city. However, I recommend visiting at different times of the day and checking current measurement readings (GIOŚ) and local announcements about roadworks to confirm the state at the time of decision-making. Overall, based on the available data and local reports, I assign a rating of 6 — Excellent Noise and Pollution.

Based on preliminary data from the study, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze has 32 offers of apartments for sale. This places the district in the category of low availability of housing offers. The number of listings is significantly lower than in central districts and several larger neighborhoods. The offerings are more often focused on houses and single-family segments rather than a large pool of multi-family apartments. As a result, the variety of apartment types and available sizes is limited. The rental supply is likely also moderate or low, making it difficult to quickly find rental options. Developer activity in this part of the city is lower than in Śródmieście or Stołczyn. This means a limited future influx of new apartments to the local market. For buyers looking for suburban homes, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze may be attractive, but the number of available offers is limited. For tenants and those seeking diverse properties in various price ranges, the ease of finding a suitable offer is lower than in larger districts. The exposure time of listings has not been specifically estimated for this district in context, but low supply usually means longer waiting times for the right offer. The low number of listings also translates to less competition among sellers, which affects market dynamics. The lack of a strong concentration of new investments limits the potential for growth in availability in the short term. On the other hand, the suburban location and family preferences may maintain stable demand for existing homes. If the priority is to quickly find a wide selection of apartments for sale or rent, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is not the best choice. For buyers looking for a specific type of property (e.g., single-family home), the district may still offer valuable options, albeit in smaller numbers. I recommend carefully monitoring listings or contacting local agents to avoid missing opportunities. In the long term, the only way to increase availability would be more developer investments or redevelopment of existing areas. Considering the above criteria — the number of offers, diversity, investments, and ease of finding — I rate the availability of properties at 2/6. This rating reflects the current, preliminary snapshot of the market and should be verified with updates to the listing counts.

The median price per square meter in Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze (~9,639 PLN/m² according to SonarHome) is about 11–12% higher than the city average (~8,640 PLN/m²), which directly affects the lower affordability of purchasing apartments and houses. Higher prices reflect the suburban, family-oriented character of the district, a greater supply of single-family homes, and demand for spacious apartments and houses. For first-time buyers, this means a need for a larger down payment and higher mortgage installments compared to locations closer to the city average. From a rental perspective, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is less attractive in terms of investment profitability than cheaper districts (lower returns), although rental demand from families may be seasonally stable. The market in this district is characterized by moderate stability — one should not expect sudden price jumps as in the city center, but the demand trend for suburban, green locations may maintain price pressure. The quality of life (greenery, tranquility, space) increases property value, which improves the quality-to-price ratio, but simultaneously reduces accessibility for those on a limited budget. From the perspective of housing cost burdens relative to local incomes, residents buying in Krzekowo must account for a higher percentage of their income allocated to mortgage payments than the average in Szczecin. There is a variety of offerings (apartments in blocks and segments/houses), however, more expensive segments dominate and inflate the median. Demographic trends and preferences post-pandemic (demand for space, gardens) may further sustain demand and keep prices stable above the city average. From the perspective of market fairness — the offer is transparent, but for buyers with lower incomes, the availability of affordable options is limited. For investors focused on short-term returns (short-term rentals, flipping), Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze is not optimal due to the higher entry cost and moderate rental demand; for long-term investors seeking a stable family market, it may be interesting. In summary: prices are clearly above the city average, financial accessibility is challenging for the average buyer, but the quality of life and demand stability justify part of the price premium. Therefore, on a scale of 1–6, I rate price affordability in Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze as 2 (poor affordability). Practical recommendation: buyers on a limited budget should consider districts rated 3–5; meanwhile, families seeking comfort and willing to accept a higher cost may find Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze a worthwhile option. If you want, I can compare specific streets or offers in Krzekowo with alternatives of similar standards to estimate the real differences in installments and the profitability of purchase.

Krzekowo-Bezrzecze is described in the collected material as a family-friendly district with low crime rates, which is the main argument for the rating of 5. Official city and police sources indicate the existence of a functioning patrol network and the availability of community officers, which enhances residents' sense of security. The Municipal Guard declares 24/7 patrols as part of its units, which further supports prevention in residential areas. ZDiTM has conducted lighting modernization projects (replacement with LED, illuminating pedestrian crossings), and where the work has been completed, residents feel a noticeable increase in safety after dark. The research materials do not report numerous media reports of serious crimes in this district, suggesting a lower number of incidents compared to the city center or some port areas. At the same time, there are general urban risks described in the context of Szczecin—petty thefts, car break-ins, or acts of vandalism—that can also occur here, although they are not a central problem in the available sources. The report noted that the problem of vandalism of lighting installations (e.g., cutting cables) exists in the city and may locally reduce nighttime safety, so it cannot be completely ruled out for Krzekowo-Bezrzecze. The sense of security in the district is also enhanced by the fact that it is an area with a limited number of entertainment venues and intense nightlife, which reduces the risk of incidents related to nightlife. The availability of emergency services and the relative proximity of major arteries facilitate response times in emergencies. Residents in local group comments sometimes call for more frequent patrols, but these voices do not indicate a systemic security problem—rather, they reflect an expectation for a higher level of prevention. Recommendations in the material (export from MMZB, request to KMP for statistics) remain important, as a full verification of numerical data would consolidate this assessment. Compared to other districts, Krzekowo-Bezrzecze ranks better than areas with heavy traffic and frequent reports (city center, some port areas) and is comparable to other quiet suburbs (e.g., Osów, Warszewo). As a residential area, however, it has areas that need monitoring—parks, walking paths, and some neighborhood communication routes—where lighting and patrol routes should be maintained or strengthened. As part of municipal initiatives, further LED projects and local neighborhood actions to improve property protection (e.g., surveillance systems, secure parking) could be considered. The rating of 5 reflects a good overall level of safety and high quality of life both at night and during the day, while maintaining caution regarding typical urban problems. The final update of this assessment should occur after obtaining the export of reports from the National Threat Map and detailed statistics from KMP for the last 12 months. Until such verification, the assessment remains provisional but is based on multi-source observations and comparisons with other districts of the city.

Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze receives a rating of 4/6. The district has a relatively good number of bus stops distributed along the main routes, particularly in the Bezrzecze area and on Wojska Polskiego Street. However, there are no direct tram lines within the district, which limits options for quick access to the city center. The main connections rely on buses running to the center and to hubs in Gumieńce and Pogodno. During peak hours, the frequency of these lines is decent, but outside of peak times and on weekends, services can be less frequent. The travel time to the city center is competitive for the western part of the city, but usually requires a direct trip to a transfer hub. Connections between districts are acceptable—there are lines connecting Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze with Gumieńce, Pogodno, and the Dąbie area through transit bus corridors. There is no large transfer hub or tram loop here, which reduces the convenience of transfers and necessitates multiple changes for more complex journeys. The fleet serving the area mainly consists of modern low-floor buses on popular lines, although older vehicles can be found on suburban routes. Residents indicate in local discussions that the transportation is sufficient for daily commutes, but they criticize the less frequent services during late hours and inconveniences during roadworks. Punctuality is generally decent; however, in the case of street congestion and roadworks, buses can be delayed. Accessibility for people with limited mobility is improving thanks to the low-floor fleet, but the infrastructure of bus stops is not fully modernized everywhere. The integration of tickets for SKA and e-payments works well, simplifying the use of agglomeration connections. Compared to central districts, Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze has a lower density of lines and weaker direct connections, but it surpasses many peripheral areas on the right bank in terms of accessibility. Planned investments in SKM and the expansion of agglomeration hubs do not directly concern this district, which means limited prospects for rapid improvement in rail accessibility. Increased frequencies outside of peak hours, better night connections, and a small transfer hub in the Bezrzecze area would be beneficial for residents. Thus, the rating of 4 reflects a good basic level—sufficient for most daily needs—with room for improvement in terms of frequency and transfer infrastructure. The conclusions are based on existing schedules from ZDiTM, local reports, and collected opinions from residents included in the provided context. If additional tram lines or enhanced bus services outside of peak hours are introduced in the future, the rating should increase to 5 or 6. For now, 4/6 is a realistic and balanced summary of the state of public transport in Krzekowo‑Bezrzecze.

Majowe is primarily a multi-family housing estate from the PRL period, which determines the simple, repetitive form of development and limited architectural attractiveness. In the assessment of the aesthetics of the streets and facades, blocks with similar shapes dominate, which reduces architectural diversity on the district scale. The condition of the facades varies — there are both renovated sections and neglected facades, and the quality of maintenance depends on the resources of the communities and cooperatives. There are no significant historical values or representative buildings that would enhance the visual assessment as seen in Pogodno or the Old Town. Urbanistically, Majowe is a typical planned estate, with spaces between the blocks, but the monotony and repetitiveness of the layout limit the aesthetic coherence of the whole. The estate greenery and squares positively influence the perception of the space; however, the plantings are rarely sufficiently connected to the quality of the facades to create a strong aesthetic effect. The lack of large, modern investments with high architectural standards means that new developments do not significantly raise the aesthetic level of the district. Urban interventions and revitalization programs, if they include Majowe, have real potential for improvement, but the previous renovation works have been fragmentary. The differences between the renovated and neglected quarters cause the aesthetic perception to be strongly local — one can find nicely rebuilt parts as well as areas requiring urgent repairs. The integration of small architecture elements, lighting, and sidewalks with the aesthetics of the facades is largely insufficient, which diminishes the value of public spaces in the evening and at night. The standard of finishing details and the color of the facades can be inconsistent, which deepens the effect of fragmentation. From the residents' perspective, typical concerns relate to the condition of the facades, parking, and estate infrastructure, which translates into moderately negative opinions about aesthetics. Nevertheless, the greenery, scale of development, and space between the blocks mean that the district does not fare poorly compared to neglected industrial areas or peripheries with worse infrastructure. In summary, the balance between positive features (greenery, partially renovated facades) and significant shortcomings (monotony of form, fragmentary renovations, lack of historical values) justifies an average rating. A score of 3 reflects the current state: Majowe is a functional, green estate with average visual attractiveness, with clear potential for improvement through coordinated facade renovation programs and urban planning efforts.

Majowe is primarily a residential neighborhood with a peripheral character, which is why its commercial and service structure is concentrated on daily needs. The district is dominated by local shops and possibly a few discount stores, providing basic access to food products, but limiting the choice of brands and retail formats. The gastronomic offer is modest — small bars and fast-food establishments prevail, while there is a lack of a greater number of restaurants and cafes offering diverse cuisines. In terms of pharmacies and medical facilities, residents usually have access to 1–2 points within the neighborhood, which is sufficient for basic needs, but does not replace a full network of 24-hour pharmacies. Banking services and bank branches are less frequently represented directly in Majowe; residents often use ATMs or travel to nearby larger districts to handle matters at a branch. A postal facility may not be located directly in the central part of the neighborhood, but due to the density of the Polish Post network in the city, access to postal services is usually possible after a short trip. Local personal services — hairdressers, beauticians, small workshops — are available, but in limited numbers, which may necessitate scheduling appointments well in advance. The lack of a large shopping center in Majowe means that residents must use galleries in Turzyn or the city center for a wider selection of shops and specialized services. Public transportation (bus lines) affects the availability of services — with good connections, access to a broader offer is acceptable, while with a weaker schedule, residents' comfort decreases. The opening hours of points in the neighborhood usually correspond to urban standards, but the lack of 24-hour shops/pharmacies limits convenience outside of daytime hours. The quality of commercial infrastructure is sufficient for families and those who value peace, but it will not satisfy those expecting a wide gastronomic offer or specialized shopping on-site. Majowe is also characterized by a certain seasonality and limitations in the availability of weekend or afternoon services compared to the center. For those with a car, access to larger shopping centers and specialized services is straightforward, which partially compensates for local shortcomings. For those relying solely on public transportation, the limited number of local points can be a significant drawback. In conclusion, Majowe provides essential daily services but does not offer a wide variety of commerce and gastronomy or a rich network of banking, postal, and medical services. A rating of 3 reflects an average level of accessibility: sufficient for basic needs but requiring trips to neighboring districts for specialized services or larger purchases. If you are interested in a complete list of specific points (pharmacies, banks, shops, hairdressers), I can gather addresses and verify their affiliation with the district, which will allow for a more precise assessment of local service vacancies.

Majowe has a predominantly residential character, and no significant cultural institutions located directly within its area were identified in the study. The cultural offerings are likely limited to individual local initiatives, educational institutions, or events organized occasionally by the neighborhood community. There is a lack of permanent theater stages, independent cinemas, museums, or larger concert halls. As a result, residents interested in regular cultural events must travel to the center of Szczecin, where the main institutions (Castle, Philharmonic, Museum, etc.) are concentrated. This necessity to commute reduces the frequency of participation and the overall accessibility of offerings for the residents of Majowe. The entertainment and nightlife options are also very limited — the absence of clubs or larger music venues affects the low level of nightlife in the district. Creative spaces, art studios, or independent galleries are not characteristic of this area. Opportunities for organizing outdoor events exist due to green spaces; however, their scale and regularity are limited and do not replace permanent institutions. The general issues observed in Szczecin — the concentration of institutions in the city center and the unevenness of offerings — directly translate to the situation in Majowe. Public transport allows access to the center, but the time required for travel diminishes the attractiveness of participating in culture on a daily basis. Due to the profile of the buildings and users, the district does not serve as a local cultural center nor does it attract external audiences with cultural programs. Therefore, the rating of 2 reflects the low number of cultural venues, the rarity of events, and limited opportunities for cultural integration in the place of residence. At the same time, Majowe may be suitable for those who value peace and occasionally take advantage of cultural offerings. Improving the situation would require local investments: mobile cultural projects, activation of cultural centers/community centers, small stages, and outdoor cycles, as well as better coordination with municipal institutions. Based on the collected materials and district analysis, the rating of 2 is justified.

Majowe has a newly created Park Majowe with a playground, outdoor gym, and small architecture, which significantly enhances the availability of recreational areas in this part of Prawobrzeże. In the urban context, investments such as "Parks for Szczecinians" have included Prawobrzeże, and there is an observable improvement in the green offer also in Majowe. Despite the new investments, the offer of green spaces in Majowe is scattered and does not match the density of parks in the city center (e.g., Park Kasprowicza) or in green neighborhoods like Pogodno. The number and size of large parks within the district are limited — neighborhood and pocket parks dominate, rather than extensive recreational areas. The quality of the facilities in the new park is generally good; however, residents have raised concerns about the lack of additional attractions and diversifications ("Too few things"). The maintenance of green areas and minor infrastructure (benches, lighting, bins) is rated mixed — there are positive opinions, but also signals of the need for better supervision and maintenance. The availability of playgrounds and outdoor gyms is adequate for the neighborhood — families with children have local places for recreation. For runners and cyclists, the offer is moderate — there are short routes and pedestrian-bicycle paths, but there is a lack of long, coherent routes directly within the boundaries of Majowe. Bicycle infrastructure in Szczecin is being developed, and projects by ZDiTM and municipal investments are improving connections between Prawobrzeże and the rest of the city, which also positively affects Majowe. The variety of activities available in the district is mainly limited to walking, playgrounds, and outdoor gyms; there is a lack of larger sports facilities or specialized recreation. The distance to larger natural areas (e.g., Puszcza Bukowa) is greater than in the northern districts, which reduces access to the forest without the need for travel. Overall greenery coverage is decent for a neighborhood area, but it is not a region with a high share of natural features or large parks. Resident satisfaction is mixed: new investments are appreciated, but there are expectations for further development of the offer and better maintenance. Safety and lighting in some areas require improvement — this is a frequent request raised in local discussions. Municipal projects and the civic budget support the development of recreation in Prawobrzeże, which is a positive prospect for further improvement of greenery quality in Majowe. Compared to the greenest parts of the city, Majowe ranks average to good — it is better than some neglected neighborhoods, but worse than districts with access to large parks and forests. There is also a lack of greater offerings for seniors (benches in the shade, quiet alleys) and local activity programs that would increase the use of the space. I recommend continuing the development of a network of small pocket parks, improving maintenance and lighting, and considering better bicycle connections with longer routes. Taking into account the existing neighborhood parks, recent investments

Majowe is located on the right bank of Szczecin and is mentioned in available materials as part of a group of neighborhoods with moderately lower infrastructure standards. Local roads in Majowe are often narrower and partially require repairs; access roads to main routes tend to be less maintained than on the left bank of the Oder. Sidewalks are fragmented — in some places, there is a lack of continuity in curbs and pedestrian surfaces, which lowers the comfort and safety of pedestrian traffic. Street lighting is usually present along the main streets of the neighborhood, but in residential areas, it can be weaker or scattered, which residents report as a need for better lighting in SBO projects. The water supply and sewage systems are connected to municipal systems, and ZWiK conducts periodic upgrades — however, local work and repairs can temporarily cause inconveniences. Electrical supply is stable in most cases, although right bank areas historically experience slightly more frequent maintenance work and planned outages than the center. Access to mobile internet is good, but the availability of fixed fiber optics may be more limited than in central districts; it is advisable to check operator offers for specific addresses. Waste management and garbage collection operate under standard municipal rules — schedules are managed by the ecoSzczecin/MPO system, and there are no specific signals about serious deficiencies in this service. Overall infrastructure maintenance seems reactive — the city and residents report needs and submit projects (e.g., sidewalks, lighting, sports fields) to the Civic Budget, indicating the existence of improvement plans, but changes are incremental. Public transport to the center is available, but less frequently than from more urbanized areas; for commuters, this can be a significant downside. In the technical aspect (sewage, water supply), there are no signals of chronic water quality issues, which supports a minimal level of utility service. However, the standard of local road surfaces and the lack of cohesive sidewalks lower the overall safety rating for pedestrians and cyclists. Lighting and benches/small recreational infrastructure elements are often requested by residents, highlighting deficits in this area. Modernizations and investments from SBO and ZDiTM include priority work in right bank districts, but implementation is spread over time and competitive. The sewage network may be modernized in phases by ZWiK, so there may be construction work affecting residents' comfort in some areas. For remote workers, it is recommended to check the availability of fiber optics before moving, as stationary access can be uneven. The energy system usually operates correctly, but during extreme weather conditions, outages can occur, so it is advisable to plan emergency measures for sensitive installations. In summary, Majowe offers access to basic municipal networks and services, but the quality of roads, sidewalks, and lighting levels require improvement, and this improvement depends on subsequent phases of municipal investments and civic projects. Due to this mix of good media connections and visible deficiencies in street and pedestrian infrastructure, I rate Majowe at level 3 (average).

I rate Majowe as a 3 on a scale of 1 to 6 — a moderate level. The city's acoustic maps (2019) and analysis of Prawobrzeże show that parts of Prawobrzeże have higher noise levels than the outskirts of the western part of Szczecin. The district is located in Prawobrzeże and is relatively closer to several industrial and port areas compared to the western part of the city. For this reason, local noise nuisances (mainly related to truck traffic, logistics operations, and periodic industrial work) are more frequent than in the greener neighborhoods, such as Bukowe-Klęskowo or Pogodno. Acoustic maps indicate that nearby areas have higher emission levels than the outskirts, although not as high as in the center or directly next to the largest port zones (Skolwin, Śmierdnica). The available GIOŚ stations in Szczecin (ul. Piłsudskiego, ul. Łączna) do not provide a dense measurement grid for Majowe, so local air quality conditions require supplementation with local sensors. In terms of air quality trends, the air in Majowe is most often of moderate quality, with deteriorations during the heating season (higher PM2.5/PM10), similar to most of Prawobrzeże. Street cleanliness is at an average level — the city conducts regular cleaning operations, and the Municipal Guard responds to reports, but local littering near riverside and industrial areas occurs periodically. Nighttime nuisances are not as common as in the center or the Old Town, but sporadic disturbances related to industrial work or truck traffic at night may occur. The road network in the Majowe area does not include the largest urban arteries, which dampens some traffic, but the presence of access routes to factories and the port means that local noise is variable and dependent on the specific street. Residents' feedback from Prawobrzeże (e.g., complaints from Dąbie) shows that industrial problems can periodically affect the quality of life in neighboring neighborhoods, including Majowe. Gaps in dense air measurements mean that the assessment of air quality for Majowe has uncertainty — local micro-pollutants may differ from what is shown by central stations. From the perspective of choosing an apartment: units facing the courtyard and on higher floors will be better, reducing exposure to noise and dust. For those sensitive to noise and pollution, I recommend additional solutions: sealed windows, sound-absorbing materials, and an air purifier. Compared to other districts, Majowe ranks below the best neighborhoods (ratings 5-6), but is also more favorable than areas directly by industrial waterfronts (ratings 1-2). A rating of 3 reflects an intermediate state: the district has both relatively quiet residential parts and zones with moderate nuisances. For the final housing decision, I suggest checking current GIOŚ readings and visiting at different times of the day and on

The assessment is based on a preliminary reading of offers from market sources (Otodom/Morizon) indicating 27 active listings for Majowe, which represents a low supply on the adopted scale. Such a number of listings suggests limited diversity in apartments and a small number of available houses or commercial spaces. The lack of strong signals regarding significant developer activity in this area indicates limited future increases in supply. A smaller volume of listings usually means a longer search time for buyers and renters, especially for those with specific requirements regarding layout or standards. For renters, this means less flexibility in choosing location and standard. Investors renting short-term or looking for multiple units are less likely to choose areas with such low supply. The low number of listings also suggests less turnover of apartments in the secondary market — fewer transactions and limited price dynamics. The absence of clear development projects reduces the prospect of a rapid increase in the availability of apartments in the coming months. The diversity of property types (e.g., new developments, tenement houses, large family apartments) is likely limited compared to larger districts. Access to specialized offers (e.g., apartments with gardens, segments, premium apartments) will likely be restricted. The vacancy and rental turnover rate is not directly available for Majowe in this context, but a low number of listings usually correlates with lower market liquidity. Therefore, the comfort of searching for a suitable property is lower than in districts with average and high supply. From a buyer's perspective, it is recommended to expand searches to neighboring districts or to monitor listings more frequently to catch sporadically appearing offers. For those planning a long-term investment, Majowe does not appear to be a place with intensive development work increasing supply. In summary: Majowe has a limited number of listings and consequently poor availability of apartments and houses, hence the rating of 2 (Poor) on a scale of 1–6. If you wish, I can supplement the analysis with a breakdown of listings for sale vs. rent and check if any new developments have emerged in recent weeks that could change the supply landscape.

The assessment is mainly based on the median SonarHome price (approximately 8,704 PLN/m²) and a comparison to the city median (around 8,640 PLN/m²). The price per m² in Majowe is almost at the level of the Szczecin average, hence the classification as average affordability. For first-time homebuyers, financial accessibility will be moderate—the required down payment and loan installment are comparable to the market average. From a rental perspective, rental rates in Majowe will be rather average; the demand for rentals does not stand out significantly, either positively or negatively. The variety of offers is moderate—there are predominantly apartments in multi-family housing estates, with fewer segments or single-family homes. The quality of the price-to-standard ratio can be assessed as stable: it does not offer distinctly low CAPEX or exceptionally high quality, so the value-for-money is average. In terms of price stability and market predictability, Majowe likely follows the general trends of Szczecin—the observed corrections and seasonality (according to NBP and SonarHome reports) also affect this area, without specific local factors driving strong growth. The burden of housing costs in relation to local incomes should be moderate; this is not an area where costs significantly exceed the city average. The outlook for future affordability depends on city-wide credit trends and demand—without local investments or significant infrastructure improvements, Majowe is unlikely to become either significantly cheaper or more expensive. For rental investors, Majowe does not stand out with a high return rate, but it also does not generate a high risk of value decline; it is rather a stable market segment. In terms of housing offers, those with a limited budget might consider districts rated as 4-5 (e.g., Skolwin, Wielgowo), while families looking for greenery and better quality often choose other areas (Pogodno, Warszewo, Gumieńce) despite higher prices. Transaction liquidity indicators in Majowe will likely be average—not as quick as in the center, but also not delayed like on the outskirts. From the perspective of market fairness and accessibility—Majowe offers a typical mix of apartments for a wide range of buyers, without a clear entry barrier beyond standard credit requirements. I recommend potential buyers analyze specific streets and offers (local variations can be significant) and compare sample listings on Otodom/Morizon/SonarHome before making a decision. There was no need for additional mapping of addresses in the provided context, as the analysis concerned the entire district. Overall, Majowe deserves a rating of 3—average price affordability: reasonable for those accepting the market standard, but not a first-rate option for those seeking the cheapest entry into the market.

The assessment is based on a synthesis of available official materials and local observations included in the preliminary study. There is a lack of public, comprehensive statistics on crime broken down by all districts, including Majowe, which limits the precision of the assessment. The Municipal Police Headquarters and the Municipal Guard declare constant patrols in the city, so Majowe benefits from the overall citywide patrol coverage, but there are no signals of an exceptionally high presence of services specifically in this district. Local reports and comments from residents indicate typical housing problems, such as petty thefts or vandalism, rather than systemic, serious threats. ZDiTM is conducting programs for modernizing LED lighting and illuminating crossings, but the study noted that it is worth checking the state of neighborhood lighting in Majowe — there is a risk that not all streets/neighborhoods have been included in the modernization. Insufficient lighting negatively affects the sense of safety at night and increases the risk of incidents near parking lots and pedestrian paths. The National Map of Threats is a key source for identifying local "hotspots," but it requires exporting reports for Majowe to confirm the level of residents' reports. Residents' opinions include typical requests for more frequent patrols and better lighting, suggesting that the sense of safety is adequate but not high. In the absence of strong signals regarding increased crime or organized crime, the assessment does not drop to a low level, but it also does not reach high values. The availability of police stations/districts within the city improves access to service responses; however, we do not have data on response times specific to Majowe. Good urban practices (patrols, preventive actions) are also applicable here, providing a certain sense of safety during the day. Night visibility and monitoring seem insufficient in some areas, hence the recommendation to verify the list of modernized streets from ZDiTM. The lack of unequivocal negative media reports about Majowe indicates a stable, average level of risk. I recommend exporting reports from the National Map of Threats and requesting data from the Municipal Police Headquarters for the last 12 months to verify the level of thefts, break-ins, and interventions assigned to the Majowe area. Further steps should include comparing reports with the list of lighting modernizations and examining residents' opinions in local groups. In the short term, priorities for improving safety are: illuminating critical crossings and sidewalks, increasing the visibility of night patrols, and preventive actions aimed at parking areas and basements/garages. In summary: Majowe has the character of a district with an average level of safety — there are no grounds for a negative assessment, but there are specific areas for improvement that could raise the rating to a higher level.

Majowe is a peripheral area with a limited number of stops and a dominant bus service. There is a lack of regular and frequent tram service, which is available in districts closer to the center. The frequency of services in Majowe is noticeably lower than in the central parts of Szczecin, resulting in longer waiting times. Connections to the center are possible, but often require transfers or take longer than similar connections from better-served districts. Connections between districts outside the main corridors are moderate—services can be infrequent and less convenient for planning transfers. Majowe lacks significant transfer hubs that would facilitate more convenient network connections. Research and local opinions indicate that residents complain about infrequent services and punctuality issues in peripheral areas. The standard of the fleet is mixed—while low-floor vehicles dominate in the center, such comfort is not always guaranteed in the peripheries. Accessibility for people with limited mobility is partially improved through upgrades, but there may still be infrastructural barriers in Majowe. Planned investments by SKM and ticket integrations have the potential to improve accessibility at the agglomeration level, but do not provide a quick improvement for this particular district. Compared to districts rated highly (4–6), Majowe clearly performs worse in terms of the number of stops, frequency, and quality of connections. A greater walking distance to the stop for some residents reduces the utility of public transport. Night and off-peak services are less extensive, which limits mobility for those working non-standard hours. Ticket integration (SKA) is available, but does not compensate for the low density and frequency of connections. For those planning daily commutes to the center or other districts, these limitations have real implications for choosing a place to live. However, Majowe does have basic bus connections, which prevents it from receiving the lowest rating (1), as public transport services are present. In light of the criteria—number of stops, frequency, quality of connections to the center and other districts, availability of transfer hubs, and residents' opinions—I recommend a rating of 2/6 (poor service). I suggest further detailed mapping of stops and measuring line frequency, as well as monitoring the plans of ZDiTM and SKM investments to precisely determine the possibilities for improvement for Majowe.

Międzyodrze-Wyspa Pucka is an area with a highly diverse character, combining fragments with an industrial background with riverside spaces and growing cultural and recreational projects. The architectural attractiveness here is mixed — there are interesting elements of industrial heritage and potentially spectacular views over the Oder, but also neglected buildings and sections with low-quality facades. The condition of the facades is inconsistent: in some places, modernizations and renovations related to the revitalization of the boulevards are visible, while in others, neglected warehouses and post-industrial structures prevail. Urban coherence is limited by a mosaic of functions (port, industrial, recreational), which complicates a uniform aesthetic perception of the space. Greenery in the waterfront area and planned plantings along the boulevards improve the integration of green areas with the built environment, but the scale of greenery is not yet sufficiently developed to balance the industrial character of some fragments. The historical and cultural value is noticeable due to port elements and preserved technical relics, providing a good basis for attractive revitalizations. The quality of new investments is varied — some projects in Łasztownia and riverside modernizations present a high architectural standard and improve the perception of the place. However, the lack of a coherent aesthetic policy and fragmented renovations result in visual effects that are chaotic in some areas. The lighting of the waterfront and improvements to sidewalks enhance the evening attractiveness of the space, but devastations or neglect of infrastructure still occur. Residents and users more often perceive this area as a space in transformation — with great potential, but requiring consistent actions. In terms of aesthetic criteria, Międzyodrze-Wyspa Pucka ranks above average due to its location by the water and ongoing revitalization projects. Nevertheless, the investments made so far have not yet led to full urban coherence or a uniform improvement in the standard of facades throughout the district. To enhance aesthetics, coordinated renovations of facades, a policy on colors and materials for new buildings, increased greenery plantings, and the adaptation of post-industrial facilities for public functions will be crucial. In the short term, Międzyodrze offers attractive walking and cultural fragments, and in the longer term — with the continuation of Łasztownia and the revitalization of the boulevards — it could become one of the aesthetic assets of the city. The rating of 4 reflects the current state: good potential and visible positive changes, but also significant gaps in the coherence of the buildings and the condition of the facades, which require further, systemic actions.

Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is an area of the island and a port-industrial zone, with very limited or almost zero residential development. For this reason, the density of commercial and service points on the island itself is very low. In available sources and preliminary research notes, port and industrial areas are mentioned as having a limited commercial offer. There are no shopping centers, chain supermarkets, or larger clusters of dining establishments. Basic services such as pharmacies, banks, or post offices are often not located directly on Wyspa Pucka. Residents or users of the area frequently have to rely on services in neighboring districts (Śródmieście, Stare Miasto, Turzyn), which increases travel time and costs. Public transportation and pedestrian/crossing connections via bridges determine the real accessibility of services — in practice, they create a distance barrier to the main commercial offer. Dining options on the island are limited to a few bars or service points for port workers, rather than a diverse range of restaurant establishments. The number of local neighborhood shops is insufficient, and wholesalers and warehouses dominate over retail. ATMs and bank branches are rare or absent directly on the island, forcing reliance on external services. The opening hours of any potential service points are often aligned with the port's work rhythm, rather than the general residential traffic, which limits convenience. For those working or visiting the area, access to hairdressers, specialized medical services, or dental care will be difficult. Poczta Polska has a network of facilities in the city, but preliminary reviews indicate that a direct facility on the island is unlikely. Pharmacies are mainly found in the residential parts of the city, and their absence on Wyspa Pucka means that traveling for medication is necessary. The overall commercial and service infrastructure has been assessed in the context of the entire city as concentrated in the center and near shopping galleries, with Międzyodrze performing poorly in this regard. From an urban development perspective, the area prioritizes logistics and industrial functions, so commercial supplements are limited. In the future, potential residential investments or revitalization could improve accessibility, but the current state does not reflect this. Considering the criteria: availability of grocery stores, diversity of dining options, access to pharmacies, banks, and post offices — the assessment should be low. Therefore, I propose a rating of 2 (Poor) — the area has a very limited commercial and service offer, but is not completely devoid of points (e.g., temporary service points for port workers). For relocation or daily life, I recommend verifying a specific address and planning trips to neighboring districts, as well as considering alternatives closer to the center or near galleries.

Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka has a clear potential as an outdoor space along the Oder River, which positively influences the possibilities for organizing seasonal cultural events. At the same time, the district lacks permanent, large cultural institutions such as a theater, independent cinema, or museum that would provide a regular offer regardless of the season. The cultural offerings on Wyspa Pucka are largely irregular and depend on events organized at Łasztownia and along the port waterfront. In practice, this means that residents mainly participate in outdoor events, seasonal festivals, and occasional cultural projects. Access to permanent concert halls, cinemas, or galleries is limited, which forces frequent trips to the city center and the Old Town. However, the friendliness of the space for organizers (waterfronts, squares) fosters creative realizations and pop-ups, especially in the summer. The club scene and nightlife in Międzyodrze are minimal — there is a lack of a developed club or bar scene comparable to the center. The island has moderate transport connections to the city center, which facilitates access to major institutions but does not replace local offerings. As a result, some assessment criteria, such as the availability of theaters and cinemas, score poorly, while the category of outdoor events gains significance. Social activities and local initiatives exist but are less institutionalized and depend on individual organizers or seasonal projects. There is a lack of permanent cultural centers, art studios, or independent galleries that could develop the local creative environment throughout the year. Cultural programming is therefore irregular, and although often imaginative, it does not provide an equal, systematic offer for residents. However, outdoor culture and access to water create a specific atmosphere and distinguish the district as a potential venue for events of a unique character. In terms of urban development, Międzyodrze could benefit from further revitalization of the waterfronts and better integration into the city’s event calendar. It is also important to better coordinate the promotion and communication of events so that residents and tourists are aware of the regular initiatives taking place on the island. In the overall assessment, Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka ranks in the middle of the scale: it is not a district lacking in events, but it also does not offer an intense cultural life throughout the year. Therefore, I assign a rating of 3, which corresponds to average availability of culture and entertainment. This rating reflects the strengths related to outdoor events and the weaknesses resulting from the lack of permanent cultural institutions and limited nightlife. Short-term recommendations include strengthening seasonal programs, supporting pop-ups and site-specific projects, and improving promotion. In the long term, it is worth investing in permanent cultural spaces and art studios to increase the cultural offer outside the center and build a more stable, year-round cultural life on the island.

In the provided research material, Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka was not indicated as one of the districts with large parks or an extensive network of green areas. For this reason, I assess the number and size of parks within the island as limited compared to districts such as Pogodno, Arkońskie-Niemierzyn, or the areas around Puszcza Bukowa. The quality and maintenance of recreational facilities directly on the island seem weaker due to the dominant industrial-port character and limited public space. The availability of playgrounds and sports fields on the island itself is likely insufficient for large groups of residents — the materials did not mention numerous playgrounds assigned to this unit. The cycling and walking infrastructure can be rated as moderate: the island benefits from the network of riverside paths and boulevards, but there are no extensive trails or forest parks within the district. The variety of recreational forms on the island is limited — communication and industrial functions prevail over developed sports facilities or large playgrounds. From the perspective of resident satisfaction, the collected sources do not contain clear positive opinions attributed to Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka, suggesting a lack of a distinctive green offer. The distance to the nearest large parks and recreational areas (boulevards along the Oder, urban parks) is relatively short, which partially compensates for the lack of greenery on the island. Overall, the coverage of green areas on the island itself is therefore low compared to the city average. Nevertheless, access to water and riverside boulevards provides recreational potential for walking, running, and cycling routes. However, a significant limitation remains the lack of large and green spaces for family recreation and forest areas. The city programs "Parks for Szczecinians" and investments in cycling paths may improve the accessibility of recreational areas around the island, but no specific projects directed specifically at Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka were found in the collected material. From the perspective of maintenance criteria, reported issues in other parts of the city regarding mowing, lighting, and cleanliness may also apply to the areas around the island if dedicated work is not planned. The island has the potential to create pocket parks and better integrate with the boulevards, which would improve the offer for families and active individuals. I recommend verifying at the level of facilities (mapping parks, playgrounds, and allotment gardens) and checking any potential revitalization plans for the island — this will allow for a more precise determination of the metrics of m2 of greenery per person and the number of recreational facilities. Considering the lack of a strong green offer within the district, but taking into account good connections with urban recreational areas, the final assessment is neutral/average. A score of 3 reflects the fact that Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is neither an area with extreme deficits nor a place distinguished by greenery and recreation — it requires targeted investments to achieve a higher level of quality in recreational infrastructure.

Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is an area with a mixed function — port and industrial, with fragments of recreational areas and sparse residential development. From the research context, it is evident that this area is characterized by heavy traffic and more frequent use of roads by heavy vehicles. The intense heavy traffic leads to accelerated wear of road surfaces — ruts, cracks, and local defects occur. The standard of sidewalks is low in places, or sidewalks do not exist at all along some routes leading to industrial areas. For this reason, pedestrian accessibility and safety for pedestrians are limited — crossings and pedestrian paths can be uncomfortable and unsuitable. Street lighting in the port and industrial area is insufficient in many places; lamps are mainly found on main routes, but side roads and storage areas are poorly lit. The water supply and sewage network is connected to the municipal infrastructure, but the planned upgrades by ZWiK mainly concern urban residential areas — in practice, there may be fragments of older connections and localized issues on Wyspa Pucka. Due to its location near the Oder River, the area also has specific requirements for drainage and flood protection, which complicates quick modernization work. Electrical power in Szczecin is generally stable; however, industrial areas are more prone to service work and occasional outages due to the load from facilities. The quality of internet and telecommunications in the city is good, but in industrial and island areas, access to fiber optics in industrial buildings may be limited — mobile services are an alternative, but varied. The waste management system also serves industrial areas, but specific industrial waste is subject to different procedures, and the service may be less convenient for residents and companies. Overall maintenance of infrastructure on Wyspa Pucka is performed less frequently than in central districts and often consists of point interventions. Revitalization proposals appear in municipal documents and SBO, but the scale of needs in the mixed industrial-urban area exceeds current actions. The lack of intensive road and pedestrian investments compared to the city centers means that surfaces and sidewalks remain in a state requiring attention. Heavy vehicle traffic also negatively impacts residents' comfort and local air quality, which is an element of environmental infrastructure. Regarding safety, weaker lighting and limited sidewalks reduce the sense of security after dark and for pedestrians. Public transport availability on this island is limited compared to the city center, which reduces the functionality of the area for those without a car. Nevertheless, there are positive points — the area is within the reach of municipal water and sewage networks and electrical networks, and planned/conducted upgrades may gradually improve the situation. Given the above elements, the assessment of Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka should be low, as the modernization needs (roads, sidewalks, lighting) are significant and exceed current actions. Therefore, I recommend an assessment of 2 (poor infrastructure) indicating the need for coordinated road investments, improved lighting, strengthened water and sewage connections, and better transport and pedestrian service.

Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is an area located between the arms of the Oder River, with a diverse purpose — it includes recreational fragments and buildings undergoing revitalization, as well as areas with a port and logistics character. The city's acoustic maps (2019) and analysis of the functional layout indicate a mix of exposure: some sections have relatively low noise levels due to proximity to water and green areas, while parts adjacent to the waterfront and storage zones are more exposed to transport noise and port operations. Due to the presence of logistics and industrial activities, periodic noise and dust emissions can be expected, especially during port working hours and loading operations. The local measurement network of GIOŚ does not have a dense distribution of sensors directly on the island, so air quality assessments are partially based on nearby stations; this increases uncertainty regarding microlocal air conditions. The heating season affects the deterioration of PM2.5/PM10 concentrations throughout Szczecin, which may also translate into short-term air quality deterioration on the island. The cleanliness of streets and waterfront areas is mixed: urban cleaning actions and interventions are visible, but there are local problems with littering and waste near rivers and in industrial zones. Nighttime nuisances are moderate — it is not an area of intense nightlife, but port operations and renovations may generate nighttime work. Revitalizations and investments improve certain fragments, but construction work is associated with a temporary increase in noise and dust. Residents' reports and local news do not indicate mass, permanent complaints concentrated solely on Wyspa Pucka, suggesting a lack of extreme problems, but available reports from port areas (generally for Prawobrzeże) show typical logistical-industrial nuisances. Considering these factors, an assessment level of "3 — average" (on a scale of 1–6) reflects an intermediate state between quiet zones and those burdened by port activity. For those considering living here, it is advisable to check current GIOŚ readings and visit the area at different times of the day, especially during port working hours. It is also recommended to pay attention to the location of the apartment in relation to the waterfront and storage zones — sides of the building facing the water or courtyard may be quieter. In the longer term, planned revitalization investments may improve conditions in selected fragments, but without systematic expansion of air monitoring and actions to reduce port emissions, it is difficult to expect a radical improvement in the overall assessment. In summary: Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka has potential and some quiet, attractive sections, but the presence of port and logistics functions and the limited local measurement network prevent a higher score from being assigned.

Preliminary readings indicate around 518 listings in the Międzyodrze / Pucka Islands area, placing this part of the city center among the richest in terms of supply in Szczecin. Such a volume of listings means a large selection in terms of size, standard, and form of ownership (new developer apartments and secondary market apartments). The area is heavily covered by development investments, which increases future supply and ensures a steady influx of new units to the market. The central location and good transport accessibility mean that the offer is aimed at various groups of buyers and tenants (students, young families, investors). In practice, it is easier to find an apartment with different parameters than in most peripheral districts, where the number of listings is small. The diversity of offers includes small studios, 2-3 room apartments, as well as larger apartments, which positively affects the ability to match different needs. The presence of numerous listings also increases the chances of price negotiations and rental conditions, as competition among offers is high. From an investor's perspective, availability is attractive — it is easy to find rental units, although competition in the rental segment may lower short-term returns. It is worth noting that central locations often generate higher prices, so high supply does not always translate into low purchase prices. The exposure time of listings in Szczecin is generally extended (~108 days according to available reports), which may indicate moderate demand relative to supply also in Międzyodrze, giving buyers more time to choose. New development projects are also of great importance — if they continue, they will maintain or increase availability in the coming quarters. A downside is the possible concentration of part of the offer in the investment segment (e.g., micro-apartments), which reduces the proportion of listings for families looking for larger apartments or houses. The number of single-family home listings in this part of the city is naturally limited, as the area is mainly urban multi-family housing. The level of vacancies and actual rental turnover may vary and require supplementation with data from local reports; however, the high number of active listings suggests rather good availability in the short term. Overall, the availability of apartments for sale and rent in Międzyodrze is better than in most peripheral neighborhoods and comparable to other parts of the city center. From the perspective of criteria: the number of listings, diversity of apartment types, developer activity, and ease of finding a suitable offer — all indicate a maximum rating. However, I recommend periodic verification of the metrics (sales vs rentals, apartments vs houses) due to market dynamics and monitoring the quality of the offer (standard, rent, fees) to refine the selection for specific groups of buyers or tenants.

1) The median offer price for Międzyodrze-Wyspa Pucka is approximately 8,988 PLN/m², which is about 4% above the accepted city median of approximately 8,640 PLN/m²; this indicates a moderate location premium. 2) In terms of affordability, SonarHome assigned this district a score of 3 (around the city average), which confirms my assessment. 3) Regarding rental affordability, the location near the center and riverside position maintains demand, so rental rates may be slightly higher than average, but not extremely expensive. 4) For a typical buyer, purchasing an apartment in this district will require a slightly higher contribution than in the cheapest areas (e.g., Wielgowo, Skolwin), but it is still more accessible than top neighborhoods (Osów, Warszewo, Gumieńce). 5) In terms of price stability, available reports (NBP, SonarHome) indicate market corrections and seasonality; however, locations close to the center and by the water usually show less volatility and relative resilience to declines, which supports moderate predictability. 6) The value-for-money ratio is average — proximity to water and recreational potential enhance attractiveness, but this does not always translate into proportionally higher building quality throughout the district. 7) The burden of housing costs relative to local incomes will be slightly higher here than the city average, but the difference is not significant enough to consider the district financially inaccessible. 8) Future trends: due to its location and potential revitalization investments, the area has a chance to maintain stable demand, which may keep prices steady or slowly increase them. 9) The variety of offerings is moderate — there are both apartments in tenement houses and blocks, as well as investments near the water, providing some choice for different budgets, although extremely cheap offers are less common here. 10) For buyers with a limited budget, districts rated 4-5 (e.g., Podjuchy, Skolwin, Załom) would be better, while for those seeking a compromise between location and price, Międzyodrze is a reasonable option. 11) From an investor's perspective for rental purposes, the location is favorable due to tenant demand interested in proximity to the center and water features, which improves income potential, although the entry price is higher than average. 12) A score of 3 on a scale of 1-6 (where 6 = best price accessibility) best reflects the fact that Międzyodrze-Wyspa Pucka is neither a cheap fringe area nor a top-priced location — it ranks in the middle, with a slight location premium. 13) In summary: the price offering is moderately less accessible than the city average, but recommended for buyers who value the riverside location and proximity to the center, accepting slight additional costs.

The assessment is based on synthesized materials from KMP, the Municipal Guard, ZDiTM, the National Map of Threats, as well as local media and forums. Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is an area with a distinct port-industrial character, with a smaller number of permanent residents and limited pedestrian traffic after dark. This layout reduces natural social oversight ("eyes on the street") and contributes to incidents of vandalism and theft in poorly visible places. ZDiTM conducts lighting modernization programs, but available reports and cases of cable cuts and vandalism indicate that the effects of these actions are practically limited in less frequented areas. The Municipal Guard declares 24/7 patrols, and the police carry out preventive actions; however, in practice, patrol resources are more often directed to the center and areas with a higher incidence of events. As a result, industrial and port areas receive relatively less patrol coverage and oversight. The local map of threats and media reports indicate cases of vandalism, theft, and issues related to heavy traffic, which further affects the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. Poor visibility at night, the separation of certain areas, and the difficulty of quick access for services worsen the effectiveness of incident response. The lack of detailed, publicly available district statistics limits the precision of the assessment, which is why the conclusions are synthetic in nature. Residents and local forums repeat calls for more frequent patrols and improvements in the lighting of crossings and sidewalks. A positive element is the city programs for additional lighting and the replacement of lamps with LEDs, but their reach and resistance to vandalism in this district seem insufficient. Considering all criteria (report statistics, patrol presence, lighting, residents' experiences, night safety, and service availability), I assess the current level of safety as reduced. I recommend urgent actions: increasing the frequency of night patrols on the island, installing monitoring in critical points, systematically improving the lighting of crossings and sidewalks, and implementing anti-vandalism protections for lighting installations. Additionally, I recommend exporting data from the National Map of Threats and requesting statistics from KMP for the last 12 months broken down by areas to refine the assessment and monitor the effects of interventions. Without the implementation of these measures, the sense of security will remain low, although the introduction of the proposed solutions could quickly improve the situation.

1) Międzyodrze Wyspa Pucka is a mixed-use area located close to the center, which allows some of its parts to have convenient access to tram and bus stops. 2) The number of stops in the immediate vicinity of the central part is moderate — in practice, passengers from parts of the island often have a stop within a short walking distance, but not all streets are equally well served. 3) The frequency of services on the lines serving Międzyodrze is average: better than in the most peripheral districts, but lower than in the city center and on the main tram routes. 4) Direct connections to the center are available and relatively quick for residents of the closer parts of the island; however, those living in the inner, less well-connected areas may require transfers or longer walks. 5) The quality of connections to other districts is moderate — good links with neighboring urban areas, weaker direct connections with the peripheries and the right bank. 6) Transfer nodes nearby (access to main loops and tram junctions) improve the usability of the network, although access to these nodes depends on the place of residence on the island. 7) Residents surveyed/public comments indicate varied experiences — frequent positive feedback from those living closer to the shore and critical remarks from those deeper into the island. 8) The reliability of services is generally acceptable, but periodic tram infrastructure repairs and route reorganizations (reported in the context of the entire city) can cause temporary declines in accessibility and comfort. 9) The fleet on the lines serving the area is mixed — there are modern low-floor vehicles, but also older buses on less frequented routes. 10) Accessibility for people with limited mobility is partially ensured (modernized platforms and low-floor vehicles), but not all stops and access routes are fully adapted. 11) For those working or studying in the center, commuting from the most advantageous locations on Wyspa Pucka is convenient and quick, which enhances the overall assessment of the area. 12) The lack of a clear, permanent rail connection (SKM) directly through the island limits the speed of connections to further suburban directions. 13) Compared to the best districts (city center, old town), Międzyodrze has a lower density of lines and lower frequency, hence the rating is not the highest. 14) However, compared to the peripheries and the right bank, it performs better — shorter travel times to the center and a more developed network at least in part of the area. 15) From the perspective of transfers and travel planning, the availability of information about services (rozklad.szczecin.pl, ZDiTM) is similar to the rest of the city and facilitates the use of public transport. 16) Plans for modernization and investment in urban infrastructure may improve specific shortcomings in the future, but currently, the scale of changes does not provide immediate improvements in all parts of the

Niebuszewo is a district with a strongly diverse urban fabric, combining historic tenement houses with blocks and fragments of post-war construction. Many blocks have valuable pre-war facades, with several examples of successful renovations visible in the analyzed sources. At the same time, outside the renovated streets, there are sections with neglected facades that require conservation intervention or repairs. The technical condition of some buildings and courtyards is uneven, which lowers the overall aesthetic perception of the district. Urbanistically, Niebuszewo is characterized by dense block development, but there is a lack of coherent, uniform actions to improve the aesthetics of entire blocks. Problems with street infrastructure and parking, mentioned by local sources and the Neighborhood Council, negatively affect the perception of public space. Urban greenery is present in places, but it is not as well integrated with the buildings as in villa districts (e.g., Pogodno) or near large parks. City programs (revitalizations, loan funds) have brought improvements in some areas, but the actions are fragmented and mainly concentrated in the most representative sections. As a result, Niebuszewo has aesthetic points that enhance its attractiveness, but also "black spots" that reduce visual coherence. In terms of historical value, the district has resources—tenement houses that give character—however, the lack of full conservation coordination limits their potential. New investments in the city area do not particularly focus on this district, which causes a slower modernization of public space. The quality of lighting and sidewalks is periodically improved by ZDiTM, but local vandalism and neglect remain visible. Architectural diversity is a significant asset, but without a coherent aesthetic policy, it leads to an inconsistent image. Residents in forums and neighborhood councils often point out practical problems (parking, roads) that also affect aesthetic perception. Compared to villa and downtown districts, Niebuszewo performs averagely, better than the most degraded peripheries, but worse than areas with coordinated revitalization. The potential for improvement is real with the expansion of facade renovation programs and better integration of greenery with street space. Recommended actions include mapping facades, support programs for multi-tenement buildings, and coordinated conservation actions at the block level. In light of the available materials and residents' opinions, the assessment of "3 - average" best reflects the current state of the aesthetics of Niebuszewo's buildings. This assessment takes into account both positive examples of renovation and clear deficiencies in coherence, maintenance, and the integration of greenery with the buildings.

Niebuszewo is characterized by a typical mixed-use structure of services — neighborhood shops, bakeries, and small service points dominate. The district has pharmacies and ATMs, providing access to basic health and financial services within walking distance for most residents. Hairdressers, small beauty salons, and artisanal services are available, although the offerings are scattered and mostly at the local level. Polish Post offices and shipping points are distributed throughout the city, so residents of Niebuszewo have relatively easy access to postal services, although not always in the immediate vicinity of their homes. The gastronomic offer (cafés, restaurants with diverse cuisines) is limited compared to the city center and the Old Town; for a wider selection, residents usually travel to the center. Large shopping malls and chain stores are a short ride away by public transport, which partially compensates for the smaller local offering of large retail spaces. Tram and bus communication in the area positively affects accessibility — it facilitates access to shopping and service points outside the district. Discount chains and supermarkets are more dispersed than in central districts, so daily shopping usually takes place in smaller neighborhood stores. The opening hours of local points are typical for neighborhood services — convenient on weekdays, but less often open 24 hours. Specialized services (e.g., specialist clinics, large beauty salons, a wide selection of banks with physical branches) are limited and require travel to larger centers. The quality of commercial and service infrastructure is sufficient for the daily needs of families and working individuals in the area. However, for those expecting a wide variety of dining options or a broad selection of branded stores, Niebuszewo may seem less attractive. Safety and the intensity of commercial traffic in the area are moderate — the district is not a magnet for new large-scale retail chains. The local community has access to basic medical and dental services within the district or nearby neighborhoods. Compared to elite or central neighborhoods, Niebuszewo ranks in the middle in terms of service availability. Considering all criteria — the variety of shops, dining options, access to pharmacies, banks, and personal services — a rating of 3 reflects an average level: sufficient for daily needs, but without a strong commercial and entertainment base. For those prioritizing peace and access to local services, Niebuszewo will be a good choice, while for those expecting a rich offer of services and dining options in the immediate vicinity, central districts or areas near large shopping centers would be a better choice.

Niebuszewo receives a rating of "Average" due to the combination of a limited local offer and good accessibility to the city’s cultural center. In the district itself, there are primarily smaller social initiatives, libraries, and occasional local events, which provide a basic level of cultural activity. However, there is a lack of large venues, permanent theaters, independent cinemas, or museums based in the district, which limits the self-sufficiency of the offerings. A significant advantage is the relatively short commute to the city center, where the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes, the Philharmonic, the National Museum, and the main theaters are concentrated, allowing residents access to a rich offer without the need to live in the center. The entertainment and club scene in Niebuszewo is limited — nightlife and large concerts mainly take place in the center and on Łasztownia, which reduces the district's attractiveness for those seeking an intense cultural and entertainment life. The frequency of events organized in the district itself is moderate and depends on the activity of local organizations and the programs of municipal cultural centers. Socio-cultural activities for families and children are available in the form of workshops and meetings in libraries and district centers, but this offer is not as extensive as in central institutions. Creative spaces and independent galleries are poorly represented, which limits opportunities for local creators and artists. Cultural programming in Niebuszewo is local in nature and less diverse in terms of genres and international offerings compared to the center. Residents often point out that there is a lack of a cohesive integrative space and a permanent calendar of events available at the district level. The infrastructure for organizing larger events (concert hall, theater, cinema) is limited, which affects the rarity of larger cultural initiatives. On the other hand, the proximity of green spaces creates potential for outdoor events and neighborhood festivals if appropriate organizational support is provided. Compared to peripheries such as Dąbie or Skolwin, Niebuszewo performs better due to better communication with the center and a greater number of local initiatives. However, in relation to districts like Centrum, Stare Miasto, Łękno, or Pogodno, the offer is clearly poorer and less diverse. There is potential for improvement through strengthening district centers, supporting local artistic spaces, and better coordination of events and promotion. I recommend actions at the city level and neighborhood councils aimed at developing small venues, programs for young creators, and a permanent calendar of district events. In summary, Niebuszewo has solid foundations thanks to local initiatives and excellent access to central institutions, but it lacks its own strong cultural offer — hence the rating of 3/6.

Niebuszewo is primarily characterized by the presence of neighborhood greenery and several larger squares, as well as a historical network of trees and green backyards, which provides a basis for local recreation. However, it is not a district with a large urban park comparable to Park Kasprowicza or Jasne Błonia — the largest green areas are located outside of Niebuszewo, in neighboring areas. The study noted ongoing or planned revitalization projects, indicating a positive development dynamic for recreational infrastructure, but their scale is limited. Playgrounds and outdoor gyms appear here as part of neighborhood investments and SBO (local government budget), but the equipment in these places is often rated by residents as insufficient. The quality and maintenance of green areas in Niebuszewo receive mixed reviews — there are reports of problems with lawn maintenance, lighting, and cleanliness. The availability of bike paths is improving thanks to municipal investments, but the network is not yet fully cohesive in the district, which limits the convenience of active commuting and cycling recreation. The offer of sports fields, running areas, and organized sports facilities is moderate — there are neighborhood facilities, but there is a lack of developed multifunctional sports complexes. The variety of recreational activities is therefore average: walking and local children's play are well catered for, while activities requiring larger spaces (e.g., extensive areas for crossfit, large fields) are limited. Resident satisfaction is varied — some appreciate the neighborhood greenery and proximity to the center, while others point to insufficient consultations regarding changes and maintenance issues. The distance to the nearest large parks is at an acceptable level for many residents, but not every part of the district has convenient access within a short walking distance. Overall green coverage is average compared to the "green" parts of the city (Pogodno, Warszewo), so Niebuszewo does not stand out positively or negatively. Considering the number and size of parks, the state of recreational infrastructure, access to playgrounds, and the development of bike paths, the average rating (3) reflects the current state: functional for daily recreation, but with significant room for improvement. Recommended areas for improvement include increasing the scale of revitalization of pocket parks, better maintenance of existing greenery, refining lighting and safety, and further connecting bike paths to enhance the district's attractiveness for runners, cyclists, and families. The implementation of more ambitious park projects and regular consultations with residents could elevate Niebuszewo's rating to a "good" level.

Niebuszewo is a mixed area (blocks and single-family housing), which translates to a varied quality of roads and sidewalks within the district. Some streets show visible renovations and interventions, while side streets and shorter sections of sidewalks require repairs and regular maintenance. Residents have reported protests regarding changes in traffic organization, indicating local issues with planning and communication of investments. Street lighting is partially sufficient, but improvements and additional lighting in specific places are requested — SBO projects include similar proposals. The water and sewage network is connected to municipal systems, and ZWiK is carrying out phased modernizations, so I would assess the availability of water and sewage as stable, although local works may cause temporary disruptions. Electrical power in Szczecin is generally stable; in Niebuszewo, there are no reports of chronic outages, but there are planned shutdowns and occasional problems during extreme weather events. Access to the internet and telecommunications in the city is good — in Niebuszewo, as a district close to the center, the availability of broadband internet and mobile 5G should be at a decent level. Waste management operates according to municipal schedules, but the quality of service may depend on the specific street and the frequency of reports. Overall maintenance of infrastructure is moderate — works and renovations occur, but they are spread out over time and do not always cover all deficient areas simultaneously. The lack of strong evidence for systematic, comprehensive revitalization of the entire district means that improvements are fragmentary. Compared to better-rated leafy districts (e.g., Pogodno), Niebuszewo is average in terms of sidewalks, parking, and street aesthetics. At the same time, the location close to the center provides an advantage in access to services and municipal investments, which partially balances the technical deficits. Projects reported in SBO and announcements from ZDiTM suggest that there is awareness and demand for improving lighting and surfaces — this is a positive signal, but implementation can be spread out over time. I recommend verifying the condition of specific streets and places (address mapping), as the quality of infrastructure in Niebuszewo is strongly varied locally. In summary, I classify Niebuszewo as a district with average infrastructure (rating 3): it has solid foundations of urban networks but requires systematic repairs of sidewalks, better lighting of selected routes, and improvements in traffic organization to achieve a higher level of assessment.

The assessment is based on the analysis of the city's acoustic maps (2019), available air quality measurements, and local residents' reports. Niebuszewo largely consists of multi-family housing and urban estates, which results in moderate street traffic during the day. Good access to public transport and proximity to main thoroughfares cause local increases in noise levels, especially along streets with heavier traffic. However, the acoustic maps do not indicate levels as high as those in the city center or near major transit arteries. There is no significant exposure to industrial noise or proximity to large port-industrial zones that worsen conditions in some districts of Prawobrzeże. The air quality in Niebuszewo usually reflects the city average — the heating season can lead to increased concentrations of PM2.5/PM10, similar to other parts of Szczecin. The lack of a dense network of local sensors means that air quality assessment relies on readings from GIOŚ stations in the city and regional trends. The cleanliness of the streets in Niebuszewo is generally at a city level: regular maintenance and inspections by the Municipal Guard, but occasional local issues with littering or illegal dumps are reported and addressed through interventions. Nighttime disturbances are not common at the level characteristic of the Old Town, although they may occur around service centers and tram stops. Residents' reports indicate typical urban problems — periodic renovations, roadworks, and increased traffic during peak hours affect the subjective perception of noise. From an environmental health perspective, there are no major, permanent sources of emissions here, but seasonal dust spikes require attention. The acoustic maps from 2019 and field observations suggest that within the district, one can find both relatively quiet sections (residential streets, courtyards) and areas with higher noise burdens (main communication routes). Therefore, I recommend paying attention to the orientation of the apartment (street side vs. courtyard), distance from main streets, and current readings from GIOŚ stations on the day of the visit when choosing a place to live. Overall, Niebuszewo deserves a rating of "average" (3) on a scale of 1 to 6: it is not an area with serious noise or emission problems, but it also does not feature the level of tranquility and air quality typical of the quietest districts of Szczecin. For those sensitive to noise, it is advisable to choose apartments further from main streets or on higher floors and to check conditions at different times of the day.

Based on the collected data, Niebuszewo has approximately 51 listings of apartments for sale in the Otodom results. This places the district in the range classified in the report as "Average" availability. The number of 51 listings indicates a moderate supply in the secondary market, but not the wealth of choice characteristic of the city center or large housing estates. The structure of Niebuszewo's buildings—a mix of old tenement houses and blocks—provides some variety in sizes and types of apartments. However, in the context of development, Niebuszewo does not stand out with a large number of new investments, at least compared to areas such as Międzyodrze or Stołczyn. This limits the increase in supply in the short term and affects the moderate future availability of properties. Regarding the availability of rental listings, the preliminary data in the report did not separate sales from rentals for this district, which reduces the precision of the assessment. There is a variety of apartments (studios, 2–3 room apartments), but the supply of large apartments or single-family homes is more limited. The transportation factor works in favor of Niebuszewo—a relatively close distance to the center enhances its attractiveness and facilitates finding tenants or buyers. The average exposure time for listings in the city is extended (~108 days according to the cited report), which may also affect availability in Niebuszewo and indicate moderate turnover of listings. The lack of large development projects in the district itself suggests that supply will not increase sharply in the near future. On the other hand, the proximity of Niebuszewo-Bolinko with a higher volume of listings (118) may partially compensate for the supply limitations in the district itself. From an investor or tenant's perspective, Niebuszewo offers a reasonable selection of apartments at moderate prices and with a good location relative to the center. However, for buyers looking for specific solutions (e.g., a large apartment or a new flat), the choice may be limited. The variety of apartment types is sufficient for a wide group of buyers, but not enough to call the availability "very good" or "excellent." The lack of precise data on house listings and rentals, as well as vacancy rates, reduces the accuracy of the assessment, so I recommend clarifying this data. In summary—Niebuszewo has a moderate number of listings and decent variety, but without a strong development impulse. On a scale of 1–6, I propose to rate Niebuszewo as 3 (Average / Średnia dostępność). This rating reflects the number of listings (approximately 51), the mix of apartment types, and limited development activity. If you would like, I can supplement the analysis by separating listings into sales vs rentals, houses vs apartments, and average exposure time to enhance the precision of this assessment.

The assessment is based on the median from SonarHome, indicating around 9,000 PLN/m², which is slightly above the city median of approximately 8,640 PLN/m², placing Niebuszewo as a district with affordability close to the average. The location, relatively close to the city center, generates steady demand, especially for apartments in tenement houses and smaller units — this raises prices compared to the outskirts. The building structure is diverse (tenement houses, blocks, parts being modernized), which provides some choice in standards and prices, but the average offer is moderately more expensive than the city average. From the perspective of a first-time homebuyer, entering the market in Niebuszewo usually requires a higher down payment than in the cheapest districts (Skolwin, Wielgowo, etc.). For tenants, Niebuszewo may offer a good compromise between price and access to services and transportation; however, rental rates will more often be in the upper part of the city range than in the cheapest areas. In terms of price stability, there are no signals of strong instability specific to Niebuszewo; observed market corrections affect the whole of Szczecin, and a district close to the center usually exhibits relative resilience to declines. The value-for-money ratio is average — the quality of life and access to infrastructure partially compensates for the higher price. The burden of housing costs relative to local incomes will be moderate, but worse than in truly affordable areas. Short-term trends (2024–2025) indicated some offer corrections in the city; for Niebuszewo, the outlook remains stable with a slight risk of increasing price pressure due to proximity to the center and interest in rentals. The diversity of offers — from cheaper apartments to more expensive renovations and renovated tenement houses — provides opportunities for various buyers, but the average buyer will pay prices around or above the average here. In terms of market fairness and availability of information, Niebuszewo is well-covered with listings and analyses (SonarHome, Otodom, Morizon), which facilitates comparisons of offers. The investment risk is moderate — a good location fosters stable rental demand, but the potential for price growth is more limited than in the most expensive, exclusive areas. For families seeking a compromise between location and cost of living, Niebuszewo can be attractive, though not the cheapest. For investors looking for the highest return on low CAPEX, there are cheaper districts in the city. Credit affordability will depend on bank offers and down payments; the average borrower should expect slightly higher requirements than in areas rated 4–5. In terms of long-term forecast, moderate attractiveness of the location and availability of services may sustain demand and stable prices. In summary — Niebuszewo is a district with average price affordability, with some parts being cheaper (e.g., Niebuszewo-Bolinko) and some parts being more expensive; the rating of 3 reflects this balance between accessibility,

The assessment is based on a synthesis of official sources (KMP, Municipal Police), local media, and preliminary research regarding lighting and residents' reports. In the working materials, Niebuszewo has been indicated as an area with reports of robberies and police actions, which lowers the sense of security in some parts of the district. The presence of police and Municipal Police patrols is noticeable, but according to residents' comments, it is not always frequent enough during nighttime hours. The National Threat Map system and local reports indicate points with a higher number of interventions, although there is a lack of complete, publicly available district statistics, which complicates precise comparisons. ZDiTM is modernizing lighting in the city, but there are still sections in Niebuszewo with inadequate lighting and reported vandalism of installations. The older buildings and denser urbanization in parts of Niebuszewo contribute to petty crimes (burglaries, thefts), which is confirmed by local media reports. Some areas of Niebuszewo-Bolinko are rated better, indicating a variation in safety within the district. Nighttime walkability and the availability of lit pedestrian routes are sometimes insufficient, affecting the sense of security after dark. Residents in comments are calling for more frequent patrols and better lighting at pedestrian crossings. A real response from services to reports is noted, but responses often turn out to be reactive rather than long-term preventive measures. Vandalism of lighting infrastructure (e.g., cable cuts) reduces the effectiveness of modernization and requires better protection and monitoring. The availability of emergency services and police stations is typical for urban areas, which is a neutral/positively correlated factor. Local initiatives and the ability to report threats through MMZB are functioning and help direct patrols, but there is a need for systematic analysis of reports to better allocate resources. The lack of detailed statistics prevents a clear shift in the assessment towards a higher classification. Compared to the safest districts (e.g., Pogodno or Krzekowo-Bezrzecze), Niebuszewo has a higher level of reports and greater concentrations of problems. I recommend an "average" rating due to the existing patrols and actions, but also because of documented incidents and poorer lighting in selected areas. Priorities for improvement include enhancing lighting at critical crossings and sidewalks, increasing the visibility of nighttime patrols, and analyzing MMZB exports and KMP statistics for accurate mapping of "hotspots." After implementing such actions and obtaining statistical data, the assessment may be updated upwards. The current rating of 3 thus reflects a moderate situation, falling between "poor" and "good" safety in Niebuszewo.

Based on the collected materials, I assess the communication in Niebuszewo as good, therefore I give a rating of 4/6. Niebuszewo has a relatively dense network of tram and bus stops compared to the city's peripheries. As a result, most residents have a stop within a reasonable walking distance. The tram services provide direct, fast connections to the city center and downtown. The bus lines complement the network and provide connections to neighboring districts. The frequency of services during peak hours is usually medium-high, which positively affects the usability of transport. Outside of peak hours, the frequency decreases, but remains better than in peripheral districts. The quality of connections to the center is good — direct routes or short transfers at hubs prevail. Niebuszewo also has reasonable night and inter-district connections, although their number may be lower than in the city center. However, there are points that require improvement: during track renovations, there are disruptions and temporary route changes. Residents sometimes report delays and overcrowding during peak hours, which lowers subjective satisfaction with the services. The fleet serving the lines is mixed — there are low-floor trams and newer buses, but also older vehicles. In terms of accessibility for people with disabilities, the situation is gradually improving thanks to platform modernizations and fleet replacements. Transfer hubs within the district allow for relatively convenient transfers, although not all stops are fully modernized. Regional connections (SKM/POLREGIO) are not a main element of the district's service, but ticket integration improves residents' mobility. Overall reliability is good, but can be lowered by track work and sometimes insufficient redundancy of lines. Compared to other western districts of Szczecin, Niebuszewo ranks above average in terms of public transport accessibility. This makes Niebuszewo an attractive choice for those who need regular access to the center without a large number of transfers. To achieve a very good or excellent level, improvements in punctuality, further modernization of stops, and increased frequency outside of peak hours would be necessary. In summary, Niebuszewo offers solid and functional connections, hence the rating of 4/6 reflects both strengths and existing limitations.

The assessment is based on a synthesis of available materials and opinions from local residents included in the study. Architecturally, Niebuszewo-Bolinko does not stand out with clear gems—mixed quarters with tenement houses and lower-intensity buildings dominate, resulting in a moderate level of visual attractiveness. The condition of the facades varies: in some areas, renovated facades are visible, while in others, neglect and sections requiring repair are present. Architectural diversity is evident but not always harmonious; there is a lack of a cohesive character that would enhance the overall aesthetic value. Urbanistically, the district has local contrasts—a mix of quarters with different scales and qualities of development leads to spatial inconsistency. The integration of greenery with the built environment is moderate: there are green areas that improve the perception of the space, but there is no extensive, representative greenery as found in more prestigious districts. The historical value of parts of Niebuszewo positively influences the area, but the scale and scope of revitalization are smaller than in the city center or in Pogodno. New investments and the quality of modernization appear sporadically and are not always coordinated with the surroundings, which lowers aesthetic coherence. Infrastructure issues (parking, condition of sidewalks) and residents' opinions about insufficient care for some courtyards negatively affect perception. Lighting and elements of small architecture are being modernized in the city, but the effects of these programs are less visible or scattered in this district. The lack of a uniform aesthetic policy during renovations (e.g., disputes over facade colors in other parts of the city) may also affect the uneven results of revitalization here. A positive aspect is the availability of sections with renovated tenement houses and the quieter character of some areas, making the district potentially attractive in terms of price for those who value peace and greenery. In light of the criteria: architectural attractiveness—average; facade maintenance—variable; diversity and character—present but inconsistent; quality of urban planning—moderate; integration of greenery—good locally; historical value—present but not fully utilized; quality of new construction—sporadic and heterogeneous. Therefore, I assign a rating of "3 – average aesthetics," which reflects a mix of positive elements and significant areas requiring intervention. To improve the rating, coordinated facade renovation programs, actions for a cohesive color policy, and an expansion of plantings as well as improvements to small infrastructure (sidewalks, lighting, parking spaces) are recommended. Investigation and support from municipal revitalization programs could significantly enhance the visual attractiveness of Niebuszewo-Bolinko in the medium term.

Niebuszewo Bolinko is a peripheral part of the larger Niebuszewo area, characterized by a mixed development of tenement houses and apartment blocks. The district has basic neighborhood grocery stores, bakeries, and a few service points such as hairdressers and beauticians, which provide residents with daily shopping and essential services. The restaurant and café offerings are more modest than in the city center or near large shopping malls, resulting in a limited choice of dining options. Pharmacies and bank branches are available in the area, but their number and opening hours are less than in central districts; some specialized medical services and 24-hour pharmacies require travel. Polish Post offices cover the city, but the nearest full range of postal services may be outside Bolinko itself, located in neighboring parts of Niebuszewo or closer to the center. The lack of large shopping centers within Bolinko reduces access to a wide range of chain stores and larger services, which is why residents often travel to Galeria Turzyn, Kaskada, or other centers. Public transport (trams and buses) positively affects accessibility — good connections facilitate travel to places with a broader range of services, but local accessibility without transport remains moderate. Discount chains (Biedronka, Lidl, etc.) and ATMs are scattered throughout the city; in Bolinko, one can expect access to a few basic points, but not a high density of them. Local service establishments (hairdressers, small workshops, tailors) are present, which improves the daily convenience for residents. However, the lack of concentration of specialized services (e.g., larger dental offices, larger professional service salons) forces residents to seek services outside the district. The opening hours of small shops can be limited compared to shopping centers, which affects convenience outside standard working hours. The commercial infrastructure in Bolinko is sufficient to meet basic needs but does not provide a wide selection or competitive prices that come with a greater concentration of stores. The assessment is based on general observations gathered in the study: urban service layouts, catalogs of pharmacies and post offices, and discussions with residents indicating the need to travel to richer commercial areas. Compared to neighboring, better-connected neighborhoods (e.g., Pogodno, Nowe Miasto), Bolinko is average in terms of service diversity. For those who value convenience in accessing a wide range of restaurants, banks, and chain stores, central districts would be a better choice; for those preferring a quieter, neighborhood environment, Bolinko provides basic amenities. To improve the assessment, a greater concentration of basic and specialized services within the district or improved connections to the nearest shopping centers would be required. In summary, Niebuszewo Bolinko offers a solid basic commercial and service infrastructure, but it lacks the richness and density of services characteristic of higher ratings.

I assign a rating of 3 (Average) for Niebuszewo-Bolinko based on the available materials and district analysis. The district has a few cultural initiatives and community meeting points, which provide some cultural life at the neighborhood level. However, there is a lack of larger institutions such as a theater, museum, or independent cinema located directly within the district's boundaries. Thanks to its relatively close proximity to the city center, residents have relatively easy access to major cultural centers (Castle, Philharmonic, museums). This positively affects the overall availability of cultural events despite the limited local offerings. The entertainment options and nightlife in Niebuszewo-Bolinko are limited — there are no larger clubs or concert venues that would attract a younger audience. Events often take place in libraries, community centers, or in the form of grassroots initiatives, which indicates social activity but limits the scale and diversity of programs. Festivals and larger showcases mainly occur in the city center, which means residents have to travel to participate in a richer offering. In terms of transportation accessibility, Niebuszewo-Bolinko performs well — connections to the center allow participation in city events. However, the frequency of local cultural events is moderate and often depends on the activity of individual organizers. Cultural programming is local and community-oriented, which is valuable for integrating residents, but it has limitations in terms of professional artistic proposals. There is also a lack of permanent creative spaces (art studios, small galleries, independent stages) available on a daily basis for residents. The cultural diversity of programs is moderate — local, educational, and recreational events dominate. Residents signal the need for better coordination of events and the creation of permanent integration spaces outside the center. On the positive side, there is potential for outdoor activities and the use of neighborhood spaces for small fairs or concerts in the open air. I recommend actions to strengthen the offerings: development of small stages, support for local initiatives, and better marketing of events aimed at residents. Investments in cultural infrastructure at the district level and programs for youth could enhance the cultural attractiveness of Niebuszewo-Bolinko. In summary, the district has solid socio-cultural foundations and a good location relative to the center, but a limited number of professional institutions and events. Therefore, the rating of 3 reflects a moderate availability of culture — sufficient for daily cultural life, but incomparable to the city center. I can prepare a detailed list of local places and proposed actions (mapping addresses → district) if you want to move on to the stages of recommendations and planning.

Niebuszewo-Bolinko is characterized primarily by neighborhood greenery and several smaller parks/pocket recreational spaces, rather than large, continuous park complexes within the district's boundaries. In terms of the number and size of green areas, the district performs average — there are places for walks and playgrounds, but there are no extensive parks comparable to Park Kasprowicza or Jasne Błonia. The quality and maintenance of recreational infrastructure is mixed: available sources indicate that residents report both positive feedback about new investments and concerns regarding the condition of lawns, benches, or lighting. There are several playgrounds and sports fields, which provide basic accessibility for families, but the offerings are not as rich as in greener districts like Pogodno or Warszewo. The network of bike paths in the city is being developed and also includes areas nearby; however, Niebuszewo-Bolinko does not stand out as a hub for bike routes — I assess the availability of pedestrian and bike paths as moderate. The variety of recreational forms (outdoor gyms, sports fields, running trails, forest areas) is mainly limited to neighborhood activities and walks; there are no large sports and recreational zones. From the perspective of resident satisfaction, sources show mixed evaluations and criticism related to consultations and maintenance — this signals that expectations regarding investments and standards are higher than the current quality. The distance to larger parks and reserves is not significant — residents have relatively quick access to green spaces in the neighborhood (e.g., Pogodno, Park Kasprowicza within a short distance), which enhances practical recreational accessibility. The coverage of green areas in percentage terms and the area per resident in Niebuszewo-Bolinko is rather moderate — better than in the most compact parts of the city center, but worse than in villa or forested districts. Urban investments (programs like "Parks for Szczecinians") offer hope for improvement, but their impact on this specific district requires confirmation in local plans and implementations. Accessibility for seniors and people with limited mobility depends on the specific facility — some new projects consider accessibility, but it is not uniform. Safety in parks (lighting, monitoring) has been indicated in discussions among residents as an area requiring attention. There are places for running and active recreation, but not on the scale of dedicated trails or sports parks. The presence of allotment gardens and small green areas increases the local potential for contact with nature, although these are fragmented solutions. Overall, Niebuszewo-Bolinko has solid recreational foundations for the daily needs of residents — walks, playgrounds, basic sports fields — but it lacks strong assets in the form of large, well-maintained parks and developed sports infrastructure. For these reasons, I propose a rating of "4 — good": the district offers decent, functional greenery and recreational infrastructure, with clear room for improvement in terms of maintenance quality, diversity of offerings, and the development of bike paths and larger green areas. Recommendation: focus future investments on the revitalization of existing

Niebuszewo-Bolinko has a mixed character — blocks and single-family housing, which affects the diversity of infrastructure conditions. The quality of road surfaces is mixed: main streets are usually well-maintained, while local sections require repairs. Reports of potholes and unevenness on several side streets appear in the report and local discussions. Sidewalks have uneven availability; in some areas, sidewalks are renovated, while in others, there are no paved pedestrian paths. Gaps in sidewalks and damaged curbs in places hinder movement for people with strollers and cyclists. Street lighting is generally sufficient, although residents have reported spots that require additional lighting. The Citizen Budget projects include requests for lighting and modernization of sidewalks in this part of the city. The water supply and sewage network is connected to the municipal system; ZWiK is carrying out gradual upgrades, which limits serious water supply issues. Local water and sewage works cause temporary inconveniences, but there are no reports of systemic failures. Electrical power is generally stable, although occasional outages and planned shutdowns occur throughout the city. The availability of fixed and mobile internet in Niebuszewo is good — operators offer fiber optics in many locations. The waste collection system operates according to municipal schedules; residents have not reported significant problems with collection. Overall maintenance of infrastructure is average — the city carries out individual repairs, but local needs are still evident. Residents have conducted protests and consultations regarding changes in traffic organization, which shows tensions in road investment planning. Compared to willow districts, Niebuszewo-Bolinko performs worse in terms of sidewalk aesthetics and traffic flow. However, compared to some peripheries, it has better access to public transport and municipal services. Available investment plans and SBO applications indicate that some problems have been identified and are planned for improvement. However, there is a lack of quick, coordinated modernization of the entire network of local streets and sidewalks, which limits residents' comfort. For those considering moving, it is worth checking the condition of a specific street and the availability of essential installations before purchasing. Based on the above observations, I assign a rating of 3, indicating average infrastructure with clear points for improvement.

The assessment is based on the analysis of the city's acoustic maps (Geoportal 2019) and general data from GIOŚ stations and local residents' accounts included in the research context. The acoustic maps indicate that the area of Niebuszewa and Bolinka has noise levels typical for multi-family housing with good transportation accessibility — meaning higher levels along main thoroughfares, while moderate levels are found deeper within the neighborhoods. The proximity of tram and bus routes, as well as relatively intense local traffic, results in noticeable road noise during the day, especially near main streets. However, there is no strong exposure to industrial noise or port sources as seen in Skolwin or Śmierdnica, which lowers the overall level of nuisance. Air quality in the district will be generally similar to the readings from nearby GIOŚ stations (e.g., Piłsudskiego/Łączna) — seasonal deteriorations in PM2.5/PM10 are observed during the heating season. The lack of a dense network of local sensors means that micro-differences between streets may occur, and current readings should be checked before deciding to move in. The cleanliness of the streets in Niebuszewa-Bolinka is rated as average — the city conducts regular cleaning, and the Municipal Guard and civic initiatives intervene, although local littering near some squares and in street areas is reported. Nighttime nuisances are moderate — the district does not have the same level of entertainment activity as the Old Town, but local events and traffic can cause occasional disturbances. Roadworks and communication renovations periodically increase noise and dust, which is typical for central and semi-central parts of the city. Green spaces and squares partially mitigate emissions and noise, but not to the extent seen in Pogodno or Bukowo. Residents' accounts included in the sources indicate fewer complaints than in industrial districts, which confirms the average assessment. Considering the above criteria — road noise, lack of industry, seasonal air quality deterioration, and cleaning standards — I assign a rating corresponding to "average" (3/6). If the goal is to reduce noise and improve air quality, I recommend choosing apartments set back from main streets, looking at building sides facing courtyards or greenery, and checking current GIOŚ readings on the planned visit day. Additionally, it is advisable to visit the area at different times of the day (day, evening, weekend) to verify exposure to noise and local nuisances before making a housing decision.

Preliminary data indicate 118 offers of apartments for sale in Niebuszewo-Bolinko, placing the district above the average for Szczecin and providing a relatively wide selection. Compared to the immediate Niebuszewo (51 offers) and many smaller neighborhoods, Niebuszewo-Bolinko offers a significantly larger volume of listings. This level of supply facilitates easier finding of apartments in various sizes and standards than in districts with low supply (e.g., Skolwin, Płonia). The variety of building types is moderate — apartments in blocks and older tenement houses dominate, along with segment offers, providing options for different groups of buyers and tenants. Developer activity is mainly visible in the city center and selected locations, which is why Niebuszewo-Bolinko has a smaller share of new large investments, but the available volume of offers indicates a healthy turnover in the secondary market. The exposure time and sales dynamics are not directly measured for the district in this analysis, but overall city trends suggest a moderate time for listings, which may translate into availability in Niebuszewo-Bolinko. The location closer to the center and transportation connections (the impact of tram and bus routes described in the urban context) further enhance the attractiveness of the offer for buyers and tenants. As a result, it is easier to find an apartment for rent or purchase than in the peripheral parts of the city, although the selection of new developer apartments is smaller than in top areas. The rating of 5 (very good availability) reflects a favorable ratio of the number of offers to the quality and diversity of the offer, with the caveat that it is not at the "excellent" level achieved in the center. The lack of detailed breakdowns on sales vs. rentals, apartments vs. houses, and the absence of vacancy data limit the precision of the assessment, so I recommend supplementing the data with these categories. In summary: Niebuszewo-Bolinko offers very good property availability on a city scale, with a wide range of secondary offers and a moderate number of primary offers; it is a good place for those looking for opportunities near the center without the competition and prices typical of the strict city center. I recommend taking a snapshot of offers separately for sales and rentals and analyzing exposure times to move from preliminary assessment to a full, quantitative ranking of availability.

The median price in Niebuszewo-Bolinko is around 8,076 PLN/m², which is approximately 6-7% below the average for Szczecin (around 8,640 PLN/m²). This level falls into the 'good' affordability category — cheaper than most central and prestigious districts, but not extremely cheap like the least expensive outskirts. For tenants, this usually means slightly lower rental rates compared to the strict center and elite neighborhoods. For first-time homebuyers, it is an attractive alternative: a lower capital entry threshold with relative proximity to urban amenities. The market in this part of Niebuszewo is diverse — there are apartments in tenement houses, blocks, and newer developments, providing a choice in terms of standard and price. The quality of the price-to-value ratio is good, especially considering access to infrastructure and relative centrality compared to the periphery. Regarding price stability, there are no indications to expect sharp declines; this area is not among the most speculative or fastest-growing segments. From the perspective of housing burden relative to local incomes, lower prices per m² reduce the required down payment and the amount of the mortgage installment compared to more expensive areas. Short-term prospects appear neutral to slightly positive — without strong growth momentum, but also without significant depreciation risk. The offer is sufficiently broad to meet various needs (singles, families, investors seeking medium-term rentals). Compared to neighboring Niebuszewo (around 9,000 PLN/m²), the Bolinko segment is more favorable in terms of pricing, which may attract those seeking a compromise between price and service availability. A downside may be the smaller number of super-premium investments and limited supply of very modern development projects, which reduces attractiveness for the premium segment. Additionally, demand for rentals may be slightly lower than in the center, affecting the pace of real estate turnover. From the perspective of an investor expecting quick capital gains, this area is not the best choice, but it is adequate for stable long-term rental investments. Good conditions for buyers are combined with a moderate level of market risk. In terms of market accessibility and fairness — there are no clear entry barriers, prices are transparent in listings, and comparable to similar locations. Considering all criteria: rental affordability, purchase availability, price stability, quality-to-price ratio, and market prospects — a rating of 4 (Good) is appropriate. In summary: Niebuszewo-Bolinko is a reasonable choice for those seeking a compromise between price and location; however, it is neither the weakest nor the most attractively priced district in Szczecin.

The safety assessment for Niebuszewo-Bolinko is based on a synthesis of official sources, local media, and residents' opinions gathered in the study. Preliminary materials indicate the presence of isolated reports of robberies and increased police interventions in the area. The Municipal Guard declares a system of patrols 24/7 within the city, which translates into a visible presence of services in this district as well. The police conduct preventive actions and respond to reports from the National Threat Map, which helps reduce recurring issues. In terms of lighting, ZDiTM is implementing modernization projects (replacement with LED, illuminating crossings), which partially cover areas of the city such as Niebuszewo-Bolinko. At the same time, the study identified incidents of vandalism damaging lighting infrastructure, which reduces the effectiveness of these investments. Residents in comments and local media repeatedly express the need for more frequent night patrols and better illumination of critical crossings. The character of the buildings (older tenement buildings and areas with higher density) contributes to reports of thefts and street incidents in certain sections. The lack of a single public, complete set of district statistics limits the precision of the assessment and necessitates caution in the final conclusions. Based on available reports and media coverage, I assess the risk of incidents as moderate, rather than high. The presence of patrols and preventive actions reduces the scale of the problem but does not eliminate specific hotspots with a higher frequency of reports. Nighttime pedestrian accessibility is average — in well-lit areas, the sense of safety is noticeably better than in poorly lit alleys. The availability of police stations and district officers positively affects response times, but in some areas, residents signal the need for increased service presence. Local incidents of infrastructure vandalism affect the perception of safety and require quicker service responses. The ongoing investments in lighting and community activity in reporting issues on MMZB are in favor of the district. Risks mainly remain in the form of crimes such as thefts, burglaries, and occasional robberies reported by local media. Considering the above elements, a rating of 3 (average safety) is adequate as a working assessment due to the variability of reports and the lack of complete statistics. I recommend exporting reports from the National Threat Map and requesting 12-month statistics from KMP to verify and possibly adjust the assessment. Additional practical actions include accelerating the illumination of areas indicated by residents and increasing night patrols in critical points. After these steps are taken, it will be possible to more accurately adjust the assessment upwards or downwards based on solid data.

I rate Niebuszewo-Bolinko as a very good part of the public transport network in Szczecin. The district is located close to the main tram lines in the western part of the city, which provides numerous stops within walking distance for most residents. In addition to trams, there are also bus lines that complement the network and serve the smaller streets of Bolinko. During peak hours, the frequency of trams and buses is high, resulting in short waiting times and good capacity. Connections to the city center are direct and fast — trams running from the western tracks provide convenient access to the city center and the Main Station. The availability of transfers to nearby districts (Pogodno, Turzyn, Pomorzany) is good due to the dense network of lines and transfer hubs at major intersections. The quality of the fleet on the operating lines is often high — many trams and buses are low-floor, which improves accessibility for people with mobility limitations. Residents generally rate this part of the city positively — preliminary studies and sources indicate that the western districts have better service than the periphery of the right bank. Weak points include parts of Bolinko located further from the tram lines, where one has to rely solely on buses or face a longer walk to the stop. Outside of peak hours and late in the evenings, frequency decreases, which can hinder mobility outside standard working hours. Further difficulties arise periodically during track renovations in neighboring areas (e.g., Pomorzany), which temporarily affects service quality in Niebuszewo-Bolinko as well. Night connections and direct routes to some smaller destinations are limited compared to the city center. Nevertheless, the network of stops is dense enough to ensure good access to key service and commercial points. Transfer hubs and main communication routes also allow for efficient movement between districts without the need for long detours. Punctuality is generally acceptable, although local delays due to road traffic and track work do occur. The ticketing system (SKA, mobile apps) is integrated and facilitates the use of various means of transport. From the perspective of planning daily commutes, Niebuszewo-Bolinko thus offers very competitive transport conditions. To achieve a rating of 6 (excellent), it would be beneficial to increase frequency outside peak hours, improve night connections, and mitigate the effects of renovations through planned temporary replacements and information for passengers. In summary: high quality of tram and bus connections, good access to stops, and solid connections to the center — hence the rating of 5/6.

Nowe Miasto has a typical mix of functions found in port areas: historical and industrial structures coexist with multi-family housing, resulting in architectural diversity but also a lack of coherence. In positive areas, the effects of revitalization are visible — renovated facades and adaptations of post-industrial buildings improve the local perception of the space. At the same time, many blocks are characterized by neglected courtyards, fragmented renovations, and visible degradation of facades, which lowers the average assessment of the building's condition. Urban coherence is limited by historical parcel divisions and port functions, which hinder a smooth transition between residential and service zones. The integration of greenery is visible in some places — especially near the waterfront and a few green enclaves — but on a district scale, greenery does not compensate for the aesthetic shortcomings of entire streets. In terms of historical value, the district has fragments with conservation potential, but there is a lack of a strong, recognizable historical core comparable to the Old Town or Wały Chrobrego. The layer of new construction is uneven: some investments fit well into the context and enhance the quality of the space, while others are scattered and have limited design quality. The condition of facades reflects this discrepancy — there are both well-maintained facades and those requiring urgent repairs. Lighting and the standard of public spaces are improving thanks to municipal programs, but implementations are often fragmented and do not cover the entire district. Therefore, urban coherence is moderate: local revitalization successes do not compensate for numerous disordered fragments and the industrial character of some areas. Nighttime aesthetics can be improved through lighting upgrades; however, vandalism and neglect negatively affect the perception after dark. Residents' opinions (according to collected sources) indicate a significant variation in quality — there are places praised for revitalization and proximity to the waterfront, but also sections criticized for the condition of courtyards and infrastructure. The potential for improvement is real, especially in the context of projects along the Oder River and urban policies regarding revitalization, which can gradually enhance the district's aesthetics. However, there is currently a lack of a coordinated, district-wide aesthetic strategy that would unify the color scheme of facades, planting programs, and standards for new investments. Therefore, the rating of 3 reflects the current balance between positive but scattered examples of good development and numerous fragments requiring intervention. For potential residents and decision-makers, I recommend a micro-local assessment — the choice of a specific street or block is crucial for the aesthetic experience. In the perspective of a few years, with the continuation of waterfront revitalization and coordinated facade programs, the aesthetics of Nowe Miasto have a good chance of improvement and raising the rating to 4.

Nowe Miasto is located close to the strict center of Szczecin, which automatically increases residents' access to a wide range of services and commerce. Within a short walking distance, there are numerous neighborhood shops as well as access to chain discount stores and supermarkets, which in the study were found to be dispersed but present in the central districts. Restaurants and cafes are less concentrated directly in each part of Nowe Miasto than in the Old Town or the City Center, but due to the proximity of these areas, residents have easy access to a rich culinary offer. Pharmacies and ATMs are available in the area or are quickly reachable by public transport; the overall network of pharmacies in Szczecin has been recognized in sources as well covering the city. Polish Post offices are distributed throughout the city, so access to postal services in Nowe Miasto is not problematic. Personal services (hairdressers, beauty salons) and basic professional services are represented locally — residents can take advantage of them without the need for long commutes. The proximity of shopping centers in the vicinity of the center (Galeria Kaskada, Turzyn, Galaxy) is a significant complement to the commercial offer for residents of Nowe Miasto. Public transport (ZDiTM) provides convenient connections to other parts of the city, which enhances the real availability of more specialized services located outside the district. Opening hours and convenience of using services are typical for urban areas — most points have standard hours, and some pharmacies and shops offer extended hours. Local trade and small businesses cater to the daily needs of residents, although for more sophisticated shopping or a greater choice of dining options, people often use the central areas of the city. Compared to the City Center and the Old Town, Nowe Miasto has a slightly lower concentration of service points on a single street, but compensates for this with a short distance to these areas. The district is not peripheral, so there are no service limitations typical of the outskirts of the city (e.g., Skolwin or Płonia). Potential downsides include the fragmented distribution of some larger stores and a smaller number of dining establishments in the immediate vicinity compared to the center itself. Overall, the commercial and service infrastructure of Nowe Miasto is solid and meets the daily needs of residents, and access to the full offer of the city is quick and convenient. For these reasons, I assess the quality of commerce and services in Nowe Miasto as very good, but not absolutely the best in the city, hence the rating of 5 on a scale of 1–6.

Nowe Miasto benefits from a very advantageous location — its direct proximity to the Old Town, the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes, the Philharmonic, and branches of the National Museum provides residents with easy access to a wide range of events and institutions. In practice, this means that residents of Nowe Miasto rarely have to travel long distances to attend concerts, exhibitions, or performances. However, within the district itself, there is a lack of concentration of large theater stages, independent cinemas, or an extensive network of music clubs — the local offerings are limited and more dependent on occasional outdoor events. Nevertheless, there are spaces in Nowe Miasto with cultural potential (e.g., riverside areas, Łasztownia/Podzamcze nearby) that are sometimes used for festivals and seasonal events. The number of permanent venues (clubs, commercial galleries, large museums) is smaller than in the immediate center, which affects the diversity of offerings on a district scale. Access to cultural institutions is good, which positively influences the assessment — public transport and pedestrian accessibility to the city center facilitate the use of a richer offer. The independent scene and local initiatives occur sporadically; these are usually events organized by non-governmental organizations, libraries, and smaller galleries. Nightlife and commercial entertainment within Nowe Miasto are moderate — clubs and multiplexes are more often found outside the district, in the center and near shopping malls. Cultural event programming is frequent due to city calendars and citywide festivals, but these benefits are indirect — the local offer does not always reflect this frequency. In terms of social activities and hobby clubs, there are resources (cultural centers, libraries), but their scale is limited. In terms of creative spaces (art studios, cultural incubators), Nowe Miasto does not stand out as a cluster; such places are more often located in the City Center and Łasztownia. Cultural programs are relatively diverse thanks to city events, but the limited number of local institutions reduces the availability of daily, permanent cultural offerings. Therefore, culture in the district has a distinctly complementary character — residents rely on the center, and the district itself serves more of a supplementary function. The quality and diversity of events available from the perspective of residents are good, especially considering the convenient access; however, the independent offerings of Nowe Miasto are rather at an average level. For these reasons, I assigned a rating of 4 — "Good" — which reflects solid access to culture due to the location, but also a lack of sufficient numbers of its own permanent institutions and stages to consider the district as very culturally rich. The local rating could be improved through the development of small stages, better utilization of riverside spaces, and greater support for independent initiatives within the district.

Nowe Miasto is located in the city center and has direct access to significant green areas and the riverside boulevards, which serve as important recreational spaces. Nearby, there are large green axes of the city (including city parks and promenades), allowing most residents to have short distances to larger parks. The boulevards along the Oder offer long walking paths and places for active recreation by the water, which is a major asset of this district. Within the district and in its immediate vicinity, there are numerous playgrounds, sports fields, and sports zones, which are conducive to families and active individuals. The network of bike paths in Szczecin is being developed, and some routes connect the center well with other areas, but continuity and safety on certain sections still require improvement. The recreational offerings are diverse — from walking and running to urban sports and outdoor gyms. The greenery in this part of the city is mainly public; in the dense urban development of the city center, there is a lack of fragmented private greenery and pocket parks in some areas. The quality of maintenance of green areas is assessed by residents as mixed: there are well-maintained places, but also areas that require modernization and better care. Comments regarding lighting and safety in some parks appear, which affects the comfort of use after dark. City programs (e.g., "Parks for Szczecinians") improve the accessibility of small parks and playgrounds, even in the center. The short distance to larger parks and easy access to the boulevards ensure that most residents have convenient access to recreational areas. Residents appreciate the presence of large parks and riverside spaces for the opportunity for active recreation and outdoor events. However, in the dense urban development of the city center, the lack of pocket green areas can hinder daily short outings with small children. The quantity and distribution of playgrounds and sports fields are at a good level, although some facilities require modernization. The development of cycling infrastructure is noticeable, which enhances the district's rating, but full coherence of routes and safety of cycling traffic remain to be improved. Overall, the accessibility of recreational facilities and the variety of activities are high compared to the city's peripheries. The main drawbacks are uneven maintenance of greenery, points of concern regarding nighttime safety, and the lack of dispersed neighborhood greenery. Considering all criteria — the number and size of parks, accessibility of boulevards, playgrounds, and the developing cycling infrastructure — I rate Nowe Miasto as a district with a very good level of greenery and recreation, deserving a score of 5. Recommended further actions: supplementing pocket parks, improving maintenance and lighting, and completing coherent cycling routes.

Nowe Miasto is located close to the center of Szczecin and benefits from more intensive renovation work carried out by ZDiTM compared to the peripheries, which improves the condition of the main streets and traffic organization. The provided materials (ZDiTM announcements, city BIP) show that surface modernizations are being carried out in the city center and neighboring areas, which also positively affects Nowe Miasto. Sidewalks in the area of the main streets are often renewed as part of revitalization and municipal projects; however, side streets and local sections still show unevenness and require repairs in some places. Street lighting in the center and in Nowe Miasto is generally sufficient — SBO projects and municipal applications foresee further illumination of pedestrian paths, which improves safety after dark. The water and sewage network covers the area and is managed by ZWiK; historical modernization programs and ongoing work minimize the risk of serious problems, although local works may cause temporary inconveniences. Electrical power in this area is usually stable, although the city records periodic, planned outages and sporadic failures in extreme weather conditions. Access to fixed internet (fiber/cable) and mobile 5G in Nowe Miasto is good — reports and speed tests indicate high availability of operators in the city center. The waste management system operates according to municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin), ensuring regular collection and segregation in this part of the city. Overall infrastructure maintenance is active due to municipal investments and the Citizens' Budget, but the pace and scope of work can be uneven depending on the street. Residents in local discussions point to positive changes in service availability and communication, but at the same time report problems with parking and areas of damaged sidewalks. This area does not exhibit specific industrial or port-related problems characteristic of some right-bank districts, which benefits the quality of public space. The priority remains to complete the modernization of local road sections and systematically standardize the quality of sidewalks. I recommend checking the condition of a specific street before purchasing property, as standards can vary even within one district. If you want maximum certainty regarding water and sewage installations or the history of power outages, it is worth asking the seller or the community for documentation of recent installation repairs. SBO projects indicate residents' willingness to improve lighting and pedestrian spaces, which signals further investments in the coming years. Considering the availability of transportation, the quality of municipal services, and ongoing modernizations, I assess Nowe Miasto as a district with good infrastructure, but with room for improvement in terms of minor repairs and standardization of sidewalk quality and organization of parking spaces. If needed, I can refine the assessment for a specific address or prepare a list of ZDiTM/ZWiK announcements and tenders related to individual streets in Nowe Miasto.

Nowe Miasto, located close to the center of Szczecin, exhibits a mixed acoustic profile and air quality. The city's acoustic maps (2019) indicate that noise levels in this district are variable and strongly depend on the exposure of specific streets. Streets directly adjacent to arteries and communication routes have elevated levels of road noise both during the day and at night. Parts of the neighborhood located further from the main routes are relatively quieter and more conducive to relaxation. Proximity to the center also means a higher density of car and tram traffic, which translates into higher emissions of NO2 and particulates in the areas near the streets. The air quality monitoring system GIOŚ in Szczecin (stations such as ul. Piłsudskiego, ul. Łączna) provides urban trends, but the lack of a dense network of sensors makes it difficult to accurately distinguish micro-zones in Nowe Miasto. The heating season contributes to a deterioration in PM2.5/PM10 values throughout the city, which is also felt in central districts like Nowe Miasto. Air quality in more built-up areas and near busy streets is average to moderate and periodically reduces the comfort of residents. Regarding street cleanliness, standard municipal services operate in the district, and there are occasional local cleaning initiatives organized by residents. Overall, the maintenance of order is at an acceptable level, but there are places with garbage accumulation near squares and waterfront slopes. Residents have reported occasional nuisances related to roadworks and city events, which temporarily increase noise levels. Reconstruction and traffic organization (ZDiTM) can periodically change noise levels locally, affecting residents' perceptions. The lack of newer acoustic maps after 2019 means that the assessment is also based on observations and local reports, not just on current measurements. For those choosing to live in Nowe Miasto, I recommend selecting apartments facing the courtyard or rear elevation and on higher floors relative to the street. Good solutions also include checking current GIOŚ readings and visiting the area at different times (day, evening, weekend). Compared to peripheral districts (Bukowe, Pogodno, Zdroje), Nowe Miasto offers worse conditions in terms of quietness and air quality. However, on a city scale, it should not be treated as a critical zone — the problems are moderate and point-specific. In summary: noise and emission levels are average, and street cleanliness is usually sufficient, with local deviations. The rating of 3 reflects the proximity to the center and mixed exposure to sources of noise and pollution. Further actions useful for a more accurate assessment include installing local sensors and updating acoustic maps, as well as consulting with the neighborhood council.

The assessment is based on preliminary data from the study, which indicates 132 residential listings for sale in the Nowe Miasto district. This number places the district above the "average" threshold in terms of availability (50–200 listings) and below the "high" threshold (>200 listings), hence the rating should reflect good, but not perfect availability. The position of Nowe Miasto close to the center increases the attractiveness and diversity of the offerings — there are both older buildings and partial developer or revitalization offers. From the perspective of the variety of types of apartments available, there are enough listings for different groups of buyers (singles, couples, families), although the selection of single-family homes is limited compared to the outskirts of the city. Developer activity in the immediate vicinity of the city center suggests that future supply may increase, but the largest projects are still concentrated in areas such as Międzyodrze. The time listings remain on the market and the turnover rate in Szczecin is moderate, which suggests that listings in Nowe Miasto may stay longer than in the hottest locations, but shorter than in the peripheries with very low supply. I would rate the ease of finding a suitable apartment in this district as good — there is a significant choice, especially for those looking for a location close to the center. Vacancy rates and the availability of rental properties seem moderate; the sales offer is more visible than the rental offer in available sources. From an investor's perspective, Nowe Miasto offers a reasonable balance between availability and potential value growth due to its location. For tenants, the district is attractive in terms of transport and services, which increases the practical availability of apartments. A downside is that the supply is not as large as in the largest urban areas, so those looking for a very wide selection of specific types of apartments (e.g., very large apartments or a large number of new investments) may face limitations. There is price diversity, but prices in Nowe Miasto are usually higher than in the right bank or further peripheries, which affects the cost of availability. The overall impression of the market is a stable, well-stocked district with moderate turnover of listings — sufficiently good for most buyers and tenants, but not as extensive as the largest offering centers in the city. I recommend supplementing the analysis with a breakdown of sales vs. rentals and data on houses and commercial premises to more accurately assess all criteria. In summary: Nowe Miasto has good availability of listings (hence the rating of 4), offers diversity and locational advantages, but lacks the scale of the highest supply observed in key urban areas of Szczecin.

The median price in Nowe Miasto is approximately 9,908 PLN/m² according to SonarHome data, which is about 115% of the city median (~8,640 PLN/m²). This price relationship translates into a clearly higher cost of purchasing an apartment compared to the average in Szczecin. For buyers, entering the market in this district usually requires a larger down payment and higher loan installments. Rental rates in the center and revitalized areas are also elevated, which reduces rental affordability for tenants with average incomes. The value for money in Nowe Miasto is moderate — proximity to the center, good transportation, and investment potential increase attractiveness, but this only partially justifies the higher prices. In terms of market stability, central parts of the city tend to be more resistant to short-term fluctuations; however, NBP reports and local observations indicate corrections and greater seasonality in offers, which does not necessarily lower entry barriers. Revitalization and new investments in the area may maintain or raise prices in the medium term, limiting improvements in affordability. The supply of apartments in lower price ranges is limited in the district — apartments in tenement houses and new projects of higher standards dominate. This restricts the possibility of finding affordable offers without compromising on location or standard. For short-term investors, a central location may mean better rental returns, but for local family buyers, the cost of maintenance and higher loan repayments increase budget burdens. When comparing Nowe Miasto to the cheapest districts (e.g., Wielgowo or Skolwin), the difference in affordability is significant. There is a variety of housing options, but realistically affordable segments are few. Local trends suggest that without a significant drop in demand, central prices will remain above the city average. The price risk for buyers in the next 1–3 years is moderate — possible offer corrections, but a sharp decline in central price levels is not expected. From a market fairness perspective, entering Nowe Miasto is more challenging for households with average incomes compared to peripheral areas. For those prioritizing location, transport, and access to services, a higher price may be acceptable; however, for the average buyer and tenant, Nowe Miasto remains relatively inaccessible. In summary, 2/6 reflects: good location and investment features alongside low price accessibility for a wide range of buyers and a moderate risk of maintaining higher price levels in the future.

The assessment is based on available sources (KMP announcements, Municipal Guard, ZDiTM, local media, and the National Threat Map) as well as on the working findings of the report. Nowe Miasto is located directly next to the city center, which results in higher pedestrian traffic and greater exposure to pickpocketing and incidents during nighttime hours. Local reports and media coverage indicate recurring reports of vandalism, petty thefts, and occasional drinking parties in areas adjacent to the center. The police and the Municipal Guard monitor the area and conduct preventive actions — this improves response and visibility of services, especially in critical points. ZDiTM is implementing lighting upgrades in the city; where lighting improvements have been made at crossings and streets, residents' sense of safety has increased, but not all streets in Nowe Miasto have been fully modernized yet. The problem of vandalism on lighting installations (cable cuts, etc.) diminishes the effects of modernization and affects the quality of nighttime lighting in some places. The lack of publicly available, complete crime statistics broken down by districts limits the precision of the assessment; however, working sources suggest a higher intensity of reports than in quieter peripheral districts. Residents' opinions collected on forums and under local articles often request more frequent nighttime patrols and better lighting at pedestrian crossings — this indicates a noticeable deficit in the sense of safety, especially after dark. In terms of the availability of emergency services and district police stations, Nowe Miasto has a relatively good location, which shortens response times compared to more peripheral areas. The nighttime accessibility of sidewalks and pedestrian paths is mixed: main streets are better lit and more frequented, while side streets and pathways in parks require improvement. The infrastructure of urban monitoring and more frequent patrols in commercial and entertainment areas partially balance the risks associated with traffic intensity. In summary, the balance of factors — higher incident intensity due to proximity to the center, visible presence of services, and partial improvements in lighting — leads to an assessment of "3" (average safety). To raise the rating, it is necessary to: export reports from the National Threat Map for Nowe Miasto, request crime statistics by district from KMP for the last 12 months, coordinate with ZDiTM for lighting improvements on new sections, and increase nighttime patrols in areas identified as "hotspots" by residents. Conclusions and recommendations should be verified after obtaining detailed data, which may lead to an upward or downward adjustment of the rating.

Nowe Miasto is located close to the city center, resulting in a large number of tram and bus stops in a relatively small area. The frequency of services during peak hours is high, especially on tram lines and main buses connecting the district with the city center. Connections to key hubs (Stare Miasto, Dworzec Główny, plac Kościuszki) are direct or require one transfer, which shortens travel time. Communication with neighboring districts is well organized — lines connect Nowe Miasto with Pogodno, Niebuszewo, Pomorzany, and further parts of the city. Transfer hubs and loops in the city center allow for efficient transfers and access to night lines. The quality of the fleet on most operating lines is at a good level — low-floor trams and new buses dominate, improving accessibility for people with limited mobility. The ticketing system (SKA and integrations with mobile applications) operates smoothly and facilitates travel between modes of transport. Residents generally rate accessibility positively, pointing to quick access to the center and short waiting times. The main complaints concern periodic track work and temporary route changes, which can temporarily worsen comfort and punctuality of services. Reliability and punctuality of services under normal conditions are at a good level, although delays do occur during peak hours due to traffic and breakdowns. The stop infrastructure is mostly satisfactory, although not all stops have been fully modernized yet — work is ongoing to improve platforms and access. The level of integration with regional transport (e.g., SKM/POLREGIO) is improving, which further increases the attractiveness of public transport for residents of Nowe Miasto. Night and weekend availability is better than in peripheral districts, which positively affects user convenience. Despite good service, there is room for improvement in coordination between buses and trams during changes in traffic organization. Further investments in the modernization of stops, better communication about route changes, and monitoring of capacity during peak hours are recommended. In summary, Nowe Miasto offers very good public transport conditions due to its location, dense network of stops, and high frequency, with minor drawbacks mainly resulting from ongoing renovations and occasional punctuality issues.

Osów is primarily characterized by low-density single-family housing and new developments, which gives it a cohesive suburban character. The aesthetics of the district are generally good due to modern house designs and regular maintenance of facades. A large amount of private and public greenery (gardens, street trees) positively influences the perception of the space. The facades of buildings are mostly well-maintained, and there is no visible degradation typical of some parts of the city. However, the lack of historic buildings in Osów means a lower historical and cultural value in the assessment criteria. Architectural diversity is limited — modern single-family homes and typical neighborhood typologies dominate. This limitation makes the aesthetics cohesive but less interesting than in districts with a mixed fabric. Urbanistically, Osów is well-organized for low-intensity development, with a clear layout of plots and streets. Nevertheless, there is a lack of high-quality public spaces (squares, small plazas) that could enrich the urban space. The integration of greenery with buildings is a strong point — private gardens and green corridors create a pleasant microclimate. The quality of new investments is usually high, but there are instances of chaotic stylistic insertions and varying quality of fences. Street lighting and sidewalks are at a moderately good level, although in some areas, pedestrian infrastructure could be better developed. The lack of density and service functions in the immediate vicinity results in a lower assessment of urban coherence in a city sense compared to centers. Overall, Osów gives an aesthetic impression of comfort and order, which is an asset for families seeking a peaceful environment. However, long-term maintenance of aesthetic coherence may be problematic without local regulations regarding facades and fences. Compared to the top aesthetic districts of Szczecin (Pogodno, Warszewo), Osów scores slightly lower due to the lack of historical values. In contrast, compared to the peripheries with lower building standards, Osów presents itself much better. The potential for improvement lies in developing the quality of public spaces, standardizing aesthetic criteria, and better managing urban greenery. Considering all criteria — architectural attractiveness, condition of facades, urban coherence, and integration of greenery — Osów deserves a good rating. Therefore, the proposed score of 4 (Good) reflects the balance between the district's strengths and the areas where it can achieve a higher rating.

Osów has a primarily residential and suburban character, which affects the lower density of commercial and service points compared to the city center. In practice, residents have access to basic services — small neighborhood shops, occasional hairdressers, and a few service points — but the selection is limited. Chain discount stores and large supermarkets are less common directly in Osów, so larger shopping trips often require traveling to nearby districts. The dining options (restaurants, cafes) are modest and do not compare to what is available in the center or near large shopping malls. In terms of pharmacies and medical facilities, there are a few establishments, but comprehensive specialist and pharmacy coverage is usually found outside the neighborhood. Banking institutions and post offices are not concentrated in Osów — residents use branches and ATMs in neighboring districts or the center. The availability of professional services (e.g., dentistry, specialist offices) is limited and often requires travel. The opening hours of local points are typical for neighborhood businesses, but there are no 24-hour pharmacies or large stores open late. The quality of commercial infrastructure is sufficient for daily needs, but there is a lack of variety and density of points. Transportation connections affect the assessment — good access by car somewhat compensates for the limited local offer, while a weaker public transport network makes it difficult for those without a car to quickly access larger centers. Compared to districts like the Center, Turzyn, or the Old Town, Osów performs worse in terms of service and dining availability. However, compared to the peripheries with very poor infrastructure (e.g., some parts of Płonia or Śmierdnica), Osów has an advantage due to its basic service network. For those who prioritize proximity to a bank, a 24-hour pharmacy, or a wide selection of stores, Osów may be less convenient. For families and individuals who value peace and greenery, Osów offers advantages, but at the cost of commercial and service density. I recommend checking specific points (pharmacy, nearest discount store, ATM, medical office) before moving, as the distribution of services may be scattered. If someone values quick access to a rich commercial and dining offer, districts closer to the center or near large malls would be a better choice. In summary, Osów has functional but limited commercial and service facilities — hence the rating of 3 on a scale of 1–6, corresponding to average service availability.

Osów is primarily a residential and recreational district with a small number of local cultural institutions. In the studied material, Osów was rated as having "Low" availability of cultural life. No cinemas, theaters, or large museums were identified in the district. The lack of permanent concert venues or music clubs limits the entertainment options, especially at night. The cultural events are mainly concentrated in the city center, which forces residents of Osów to commute. Local initiatives are few and occasional, such as outdoor events or neighborhood meetings. The availability of educational cultural programs and artistic workshops in Osów is limited. There is also a lack of creative spaces like art studios or independent galleries. Public transportation provides connections to the center, but this does not compensate for the lack of cultural infrastructure on-site. Residents often point to the need for a permanent cultural meeting place in the district. Parks and green areas offer potential for outdoor events, but these are carried out sporadically. Due to the residential profile, the commercial gastronomic and entertainment offerings (cafés, clubs) are limited. Cultural programming in municipal libraries or cultural centers is not widespread in this part of the city. The diversity of programs and events is low, which affects the limited opportunities for residents to participate. The lack of a strong independent or alternative scene in the district worsens access to a diverse artistic offer. The assessment of Osów's cultural infrastructure should also take into account its character as a recreational district, which partially explains the investment priorities. Nevertheless, if the goal is a rich cultural life without the need for commuting, Osów currently does not meet these expectations. There are opportunities for improvement through support for local initiatives, the establishment of social clubs, or mobile cultural programs. From the perspective of access to large events and cultural institutions, Osów ranks significantly below the city average. Therefore, I recommend a rating of "2 — Poor," reflecting the limited cultural offerings and the necessity to rely on resources from the city center.

Osów is distinguished primarily by its proximity and access to the Puszcza Bukowa / Szczecin Landscape Park, which provides residents with easy access to large forested areas, running trails, and cycling paths; this element significantly enhances the overall rating. The large natural areas result in a high amount of green space per capita, and the quality of the natural experience (silence, habitat diversity, opportunities for outdoor activities) is very good. The infrastructure for mountain biking and running trails around Osów is well-developed due to the natural terrain, which will satisfy runners and cyclists looking for routes away from crowded urban paths. On the other hand, Osów is a district with a more suburban character — it lacks the density of small pocket parks, playgrounds, and sports fields found in urban districts, which may be felt by families with small children seeking nearby, paved recreational facilities. The quality and maintenance of urban facilities in Szczecin were mentioned in the study as mixed; the same may apply to amenities (benches, lighting, bins) in the neighborhood spaces of Osów — there are no signals of exceptionally high maintenance standards for this district in the available materials. The availability of cycling paths and communication routes within the district may still be under development — the city is implementing programs to expand the cycling network, but the fragmentation of road infrastructure is significant in assessing the comfort of daily cycling mobility. The variety of available activities is strong in the context of outdoor activities (walking, running, MTB, Nordic walking), but limited in terms of urban sports facilities (e.g., multifunctional fields, swimming pools) directly in the district — such facilities often need to be sought in neighboring parts of the city. The distance to the largest natural recreational areas is short for most residents of Osów (easy walking or cycling access), which is a significant plus in the criterion of "distance to nearest park." Residents' opinions, collected in a general study for forested areas, usually emphasize the positives of contact with nature, although they also signal deficiencies in small retention infrastructure and maintenance — these remarks are also relevant for Osów. The network of allotment gardens and private green areas is smaller than in some suburban districts typically known for allotments, but the natural forests compensate for this difference in practical use. From the perspective of safety and lighting, areas in forests and less urbanized fragments require solutions to improve safety after dark; this is an element that can affect the sense of comfort when using recreational facilities in the evening hours. Overall, Osów has a "very good" profile for those who value access to large, natural green spaces and outdoor activities; however, for families seeking intensive urban recreational infrastructure, there may be some limitations. Considering the number and size of green areas, access to recreational trails, moderate deficiencies in urban infrastructure (playgrounds, sports fields, density of cycling paths in the urban layout), and mixed signals regarding maintenance, I rate Osów a 5 — "Very Good." To raise the rating

Osów, as part of the western, villa, and green areas of Szczecin, is rated above average due to the generally high quality of road and sidewalk infrastructure. The main streets and access routes in the district are well-maintained, which corresponds to the standard of villa areas mentioned in the study. Sidewalks are usually built and appropriately wide in the most frequently used pedestrian paths, improving accessibility and safety for pedestrians. Street lighting in Osów is at a good level — municipal SBO projects and other local initiatives often include replacements and enhancements of pedestrian paths in similar districts, suggesting active maintenance. The water and sewage network in the villa areas of Szczecin, including Osów, is generally connected to the municipal network and is subject to phased upgrades by ZWiK, minimizing the risk of serious water supply or sewage issues. Electrical power is stable, with only occasional planned outages typical for the city; there are no signals of chronic energy problems in this part of Szczecin. Access to the internet and telecommunications is good — commercial operators offer fiber optics and 5G coverage in the western districts, which supports remote work and digital services. Waste management is carried out according to municipal schedules (ecoSzczecin/MPO), with no specific complaints reported en masse for this district. The overall maintenance of public spaces is more often rated positively than in peripheral or industrial areas, which contributes to the perception of a higher standard of infrastructure. However, in Osów, there may be local issues on side streets that are less frequented — occasional surface defects, requirements for hardening access to individual properties, or needs for minor sidewalk repairs. Additionally, as a district with dispersed single-family housing, some new sections or unpaved access routes may require additional work, which lowers the rating from the maximum. Public transport availability is usually weaker here than in the center, affecting residents' convenience, although it is not directly a component of the technical infrastructure rated the highest. Conclusions from local sources and SBO show that residents and the local government report projects related to lighting and sidewalks for similar areas, indicating active care for the infrastructure. However, there are no signals of recurring sewage failures or major water supply issues in Osów. In summary, Osów deserves a rating of "5 — very good infrastructure": it has stable, well-maintained basic technical networks, good road and pedestrian conditions, and solid coverage of telecommunications services, while also having some local, minor deficiencies requiring ongoing repairs and improvements.

Acoustic maps of the city (Geoportal 2019) and spatial analysis indicate that Osów is located on the periphery of the city and is distanced from major road arteries and industrial zones. In practice, this means lower levels of road noise compared to the city center and port districts. Osów is characterized by a significant amount of green spaces and low-density development, which serve as acoustic buffers and improve air quality. The absence of large industrial and port facilities in the immediate vicinity reduces the risk of local emissions and dust. The transportation network in the Osów area mainly consists of local roads — traffic intensity is moderate and limited to commuting hours. Occasional roadworks or investments may generate short-term inconveniences, but do not change the overall low exposure to noise. Unlike districts such as Skolwin or Śmierdnica, Osów is not exposed to noise related to port or shipyard logistics. Regarding air quality, the lack of direct industrial sources contributes to lower concentrations of PM and NO2, although the heating season may periodically raise PM2.5/PM10 levels. It is worth noting that the nearest automatic GIOŚ stations are not always located within the Osów district itself, so local measurements may differ from data from city stations. The cleanliness of the streets in Osów is generally good — there are no reports of systemic littering, and the activity of municipal services and local initiatives supports the maintenance of order. Excessive littering occurs in some places along communication routes and at the edges of the housing estate, but these are rather local problems addressed through cleaning actions. Nighttime noise is generally low — the absence of intense nightlife and entertainment locations minimizes disturbances after hours. The lack of a railway line or intense tram traffic in close proximity further limits specific sources of noise. From a residential perspective, Osów offers high acoustic and environmental comfort, especially for those who value peace and contact with greenery. The main risks to consider are local renovations, potential expansion of transportation routes by the city, and seasonal deterioration of air quality during heating. I recommend checking current GIOŚ readings before purchasing or moving, as well as visiting the area at different times of the day and week to assess actual traffic intensity. Further actions to improve the assessment include maintaining green belts, local monitoring of air quality (local sensors), and oversight of planned road investments. In summary, Osów ranks above the city average in terms of noise and pollution, deserving a rating of 'very good.' The score of 5 reflects low traffic intensity, the presence of green spaces, and the absence of strong industrial sources in the vicinity. For individuals who are very sensitive to noise or require the highest air quality, it is advisable to consider additional checks of local measurements and to choose locations further away from even local access roads.

Based on the available context, Osów has listings visible on Otodom, but the specific number has not been confirmed. Compared to central districts (e.g., Międzyodrze, Nowe Miasto, Turzyn), the volume of listings in Osów is noticeably lower. Osów is characterized mainly by low-density development — single-family homes and low-rise blocks — which naturally limits the number of apartments available on the secondary market. Analysis of sources in the study indicates that new development projects are primarily concentrated in the city center and selected areas, rather than in Osów, so the supply of new apartments here is limited. Nevertheless, the presence of listings on Otodom suggests that availability is not zero and that options for purchase or rental can be found. The variety of types of listings is moderate — segments, houses, and smaller premises prevail, while standard apartments in large blocks are fewer. The supply for tenants is likely smaller than in better-connected and more densely built districts. The turnover rate in the Osów market is probably slower than in the central parts of the city, which may mean longer listing times. The distance from the center and the availability of transportation affect demand, which in turn limits the number of active listings. The lack of precise metrics in the provided study limits the accuracy of the assessment, so the conclusions are based on a comparative context. For buyers looking for typical apartments in blocks, the choice will be smaller than in the center, while those seeking a single-family home may find better options here, although their number is also limited. From a developer's investment perspective, Osów does not currently seem to be a priority area, which suggests little increase in supply in the short term. The vacancy rate is likely low, which translates to less turnover of listings. Overall, I assess the ease of finding a suitable property as moderate — possible, but it requires time and a broader search. To increase the certainty of the assessment, I recommend supplementing the study with a direct count of listings (Otodom/Morizon) for Osów, separating sales/rentals, and dividing into apartments/houses. It is also worth gathering opinions from residents and checking planned investments that could change supply in the future. Based on this, I give Osów a rating of 3 (Average) — availability exists, but it is clearly lower and less diverse than in the more urbanized parts of Szczecin.

Osów has a median price per square meter of approximately 11,449 PLN (source: SonarHome), placing it among the most expensive areas of the city. Compared to the city median (~8,640 PLN/m²), this represents a significant (~32%) exceedance of the average price level, which considerably reduces affordability. From a rental perspective, this area generates higher rent rates than most districts, making it difficult for lower-income tenants to access housing. For first-time homebuyers, Osów requires a larger down payment and higher mortgage installments, limiting the ability to enter the market. In terms of price stability, Osów is relatively resistant to sharp declines due to the nature of its development (new housing estates, single-family homes) and steady demand; however, this stability maintains high price levels. In terms of "value for money," Osów may be justified for buyers who value greenery, space, and higher standards, but it is not favorable for those seeking economical solutions. The burden of housing costs (installments, maintenance) in Osów will be higher than the city average, worsening accessibility for average households. Market trends indicate corrections in some segments, but limited supply in Osów and its prestige may keep prices relatively high. Price diversity is limited—more expensive segments and new construction dominate, with a lack of offerings in the lower price range. For this reason, Osów is not attractive for investors looking for low-cost entry. For families seeking quality of life, Osów offers significant advantages, which partially justifies the prices, but does not affect their affordability. In the context of housing market fairness, the presence of such an expensive district increases entry barriers for a broad group of residents. In the short term, prices may be relatively resistant, while long-term affordability depends on credit policy and demand in the premium segment. The risk for budget buyers is high due to the small number of cheaper offerings and strong competition for better locations. Tenants with limited budgets should not consider Osów due to higher rents and maintenance costs. Compared to other premium districts (e.g., Gumieńce, Warszewo), Osów ranks similarly or higher, confirming its status as an area with low affordability. The dominant factor influencing the assessment is the high price base and limited availability of cheaper options. Therefore, considering the criteria of rental affordability, purchase availability, cost burden, diversity of offerings, and price outlook, the overall price affordability of Osów must be rated very low. The suggested final rating is the lowest score on the affordability scale (1), reflecting significant financial barriers for most buyers and tenants.
