Ochota
Ochota has a residential-recreational character. There is still space available for investment. It is conveniently located between Warsaw's center and the Okecie International Airport and on the main road leading to the south and south-west of Poland. Land along the main roads in Ochota - Zwirki i Wigury Street and Krakowska Avenue - is perfectly suited for company offices and hotels. Ochota is quite distinctly divided into two parts: Stara (Old) Ochota which is closer to the center and has mainly a dense pre-war urban character (especially in the areas of Filtrowa Street and Narutowicza Square), and the southern part with residential estates and green areas. Szczesliwice is a vast recreational area with Warsaw's only ski-lift which is favoured by the inhabitants of all Warsaw boroughs.

Wola
Wola is a western district located on the main road leading to Poznan and Germany. Wola was for many years regarded as a working-class district. Wola seems to be the most rapidly changing district in Warsaw and is one of the most rapidly developing areas. Whole blocks of derelict houses are being demolished and high-standard residential developments are going up instead. The former "bad districts" and "Wild West" areas have already been forgotten. Wola does not have many historic monuments.

Zoliborz
Zoliborz is clearly the smallest district in the Central part of Warsaw. Zoliborz is, first of all and foremost, residential. There are pre-war residential quarters (Officers' Zoliborz and Journalists' Zoliborz), and new ones, including Sady Zoliborskie, recognized as a very successful residential project. What is typical of Zoliborz is that it is mostly inhabited by well-educated people, and has the most highly developed local patriotism in Warsaw, presumably resulting from the fact that many people have lived in the same place, their "little homeland", for generations.

Praga
Polnoc (Northern)
Both districts (Praga Poludnie and Praga Polnoc) on the right bank of the Vistula River are considered to be inferior part of Warsaw, a "Second-Class" city. Praga Polnoc with its areas called Stara Praga and Szmulowizna is in the opinion of Warsaw citizens not a safe place.This is not fully justified. The crime rate is indeed higher than in other areas, both when it comes to petty and more serious crime, but for a couple of years has been constantly falling; strengthened police and city guard forces have improved security.

Poludnie (South)
Praga Poludnie (South) is a large district located on the southeastern edge of the Central part of Warsaw.
