Prague Metro Continues to Drive Property Prices Up in 2025
Buying an apartment close to a metro station has always been one of the safest bets in Prague’s property market. It is not just about convenience or saving a few minutes on the way to work. Living near a metro stop adds long-term value to any property, and the newest Metroindex report for the first half of 2025 confirms that this trend remains strong. Prices continue to rise across much of the city, with the highest growth concentrated around stations that combine easy accessibility with desirable neighborhoods.
Line A: Still the Most Prestigious and Expensive
The green metro line, also known as Line A, keeps its reputation as the most expensive one in Prague. This is hardly surprising, since it runs through the very heart of the city. Around stations such as Staroměstská and Malostranská, prices have once again climbed beyond 200 000 CZK per m2. In some of the most central locations, like Můstek, new development projects have pushed prices even higher, reflecting how strong demand remains for properties in the historic center.
Staroměstská has kept its position as the absolute leader, with prices now averaging around 250 000 per square meter. That is almost ten thousand more than half a year ago. The green line continues to represent the symbolic gold standard for property values in Prague, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
Line B: A Story of Contrast
Line B stretches across the entire city, from Zličín to Černý Most, and that naturally creates huge differences in price and character. In the very center, stations like Národní třída and Můstek attract both local buyers and foreign investors who are looking for premium properties with guaranteed long-term value. Here, prices approach a 250 000 crowns per square meter, making this part of the yellow line one of the most desirable in the capital.
Once you travel a few more stops, the atmosphere — and the pricing — changes. Stations such as Luka, Lužiny or Černý Most are significantly more affordable, often falling below 120 000 crowns per square meter. These areas are attracting a new wave of young families and professionals who want to live in Prague but prefer to balance location with price. Thanks to solid infrastructure and reliable public transport, the outer parts of Line B are becoming increasingly popular among those looking for long-term housing options.
Line C: More Affordable, but Still Competitive
The red Line C offers some of the more accessible housing options, though “affordable” might be a generous word in today’s market. In the southern areas around stations like Roztyly, Opatov or Háje, prices hover around one hundred ten thousand crowns per square meter. In the north, places such as Prosek and Kobylisy show similar figures, proving that Prague’s outer neighborhoods still provide entry points for buyers who want good metro access without paying central prices.
However, the closer you move toward the center, the steeper the prices get. Around Muzeum, Florenc or Hlavní nádraží, property values easily exceed two hundred thousand crowns per square meter. These central locations continue to attract people who want to live in the thick of the city’s cultural and business life — and who are willing to pay for it.
Line D: Rising Prices Before the Trains Even Arrive
The upcoming Line D, although not yet in operation, is already influencing the property market. All planned stations along the route now have average prices above one hundred twenty thousand crowns per square meter. Buyers clearly expect these locations to become valuable once the line opens, and many are securing their investment early. It is another example of how public transport development shapes the long-term real estate landscape of Prague.
Where Buyers Are Most Active
Data from the Metroindex also highlights where the most transactions are taking place. Kolbenova recorded more than three hundred seventy sales in the first half of the year, while Stodůlky followed with over two hundred seventy. Both areas are hubs for new residential construction, offering modern apartments with good access to services and transport.
Older buildings are performing well too. In traditional neighborhoods around Muzeum, Náměstí Míru and Jiřího z Poděbrad, more than one hundred apartments were sold in existing housing. These locations combine classic architecture with the charm of established city life, which continues to appeal to many buyers.
What It Means for Buyers and Investors
If you are planning to buy or invest in Prague, the Metroindex results send a clear message. Location near a metro station continues to be one of the strongest factors driving property value. While the city center remains expensive, areas along future metro lines or at the outer edges of existing ones offer opportunities that may still bring attractive growth in the coming years.
For those thinking about refinancing, upgrading or simply exploring new housing possibilities, this data can be a great guide. It shows where demand is growing and where new projects are changing the face of entire districts. Even a few stops further from the center can make a big difference in both price and lifestyle quality.
A Closing Thought
Prague’s housing market is constantly evolving, but some things never change. Easy access to the metro remains one of the most valuable features a property can have. Whether you are searching for your first home or looking for a long-term investment, understanding how transport connectivity influences prices can help you make smarter and more confident decisions.
