Modern house in Radość: Peace and quiet
Radość near Warsaw not only has a joyful name but it is also a great place to live.
There are two parts of Warsaw that always put a smile on my face when I hear their names. The first is Wesoła (which translates from Polish as ‘merry’) and the other is Radość (its name literally means ‘joy’). Today’s post is devoted to the latter as I have recently listed a house in Radość at my company Crystal House.
Radość is an old summer village near Warsaw. Its history dates back to the 19th century. This was when the first summer villas owned by wealthy Varsovians were erected in the Zbójna Góra area. One such villa owned by Antoni Fertner was called Radość and it lent its name to the entire village.
Radość is located along the so-called Otwock railway connecting Warsaw with Otwock. Owing to excellent commuting opportunities with the centre of the city Radość quickly expanded in the inter-war period. This was primarily because the area is very pretty and the air was much cleaner than in the city.
In fact, Radość maintained its suburban style despite being made a district of Warsaw a few dozen years ago. Single-family housing, a slower pace of life, lots of greenery and the vicinity of the forest are some of the core merits of this district.
