Too tight for children. Surprising report results

As shown by a report prepared by the Inquiry agency on behalf of Nieruchomosci-online.pl, as many as 31 percent of Poles living in apartment blocks admit that too small an apartment prevents them from deciding to have their first child. Even more, 43 percent of respondents, declare that limited space is the reason for giving up another child.

Interestingly, owners of single-family houses also have similar concerns. Every fifth respondent living at home believes that the current size does not allow them to expand their family. When deciding to have another child, this percentage increases to 25 percent.

Apartments you grow out of

The report draws attention to another important problem - the changing housing needs of Poles. As many as 44 percent of people living in apartment blocks admit that their current apartment met their needs a few years ago, but today it no longer meets expectations.

The authors of the study emphasize that almost half of the residents of apartment blocks have "outgrown" their apartment. Studio apartments and two-room apartments, which were once ideal for singles or couples, turn out to be dysfunctional after many years when lifestyle changes and the idea of ​​enlarging the family arises.

The study "This is us. Poles about real estate - Q3 2026" was conducted on a representative group of 1,016 adult Poles.
