Vysoký Újezd: Peaceful, affordable living 20 minutes from Prague

As properties in Prague become increasingly expensive, many people are now opting to base their new homes just outside the capital, combining affordable prices and tranquil settings with easy and quick access to Prague.

The impressive Vysoký Újezd residential development offers a compelling option. Situated by the Central Bohemian town of Beroun on the southwestern edge of Prague, this new development from Crestyl—the masterminds behind the Semerinka and Hagibor housing projects—blends the charm of a historic village with modern amenities and infrastructure. 

There is something truly for everyone here, with family houses and bungalows ready to move into at prices noticeably cheaper than in the center of Prague. You can also buy plots of land in the area—an especially lucrative investment opportunity for future years. 

Those who work in Prague or simply need to visit the capital center often have the best of both worlds on offer. The adjacent D5 motorway ensures that the city center is within a 20-minute drive, and surrounding public transport links mean that Prague’s metro system is accessible in just 15 minutes. What’s more, Prague Airport is just a 20-minute drive away.

Nature enthusiasts—or those who simply enjoy the peace and quiet—can enjoy the village’s natural beauty, including the nearby Křivoklát forests and the picturesque Svatý Jan pod Skalou, both perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The famous Karlštejn Castle and Velká Amerika quarry are also nearby, adding to the area’s historical and natural feel. 

One of the best parts about life in Vysoký Újezd is the combination of rural tranquility with modern conveniences and essential parts of life.

A huge plus for families is that the area has schools and a kindergarten. The village offers a range of essential services, including a grocery store, delicatessen, fitness center, cosmetics, restaurants, and a post office. 

For leisure, residents have a football and golf course on offer, as well as a resort that offers a restaurant, bar, and clubhouse. The village also boasts a rich social and cultural life, with plans for a boutique hotel at the local historic castle, further enhancing the area’s appeal.

The Vysoký Újezd project respects the village's original design, which dates back to the Middle Ages, and is carefully planned.

“We’ve approached the project with a long-term vision. By incorporating sustainable features like rainwater retention tanks and tree-lined streets, we’re not just building homes; we’re crafting a sustainable community that will thrive for generations." 

The area’s urbanization also takes into account the natural landscape, ensuring that new construction blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment. 

The development also emphasizes sustainability; homes are designed with rainwater retention tanks, and trees have been planted in the area to enhance the green spaces and contribute to the local ecosystem.

Family homes in the area boast a huge 178 square meters, together with two living rooms, a large garage, a storage room, and up to three bathrooms. 

"The interiors of these homes were crafted with functionality and elegance in mind. From spacious layouts to high-quality finishes, every element reflects a commitment to comfort and style."

The living rooms feature colored plastic windows and laminate flooring, whereas the luxury bathrooms feature a wall-hung ceramic toilet, Ceramic tiles, and a glass shower screen. Each new home comes with photovoltaics and heat pumps, which ultimately save substantially on annual heating bills. 

The gardens are spacious and sprawling at 800 square meters, giving families ample space for outdoor activities such as bathing, installing a pool, or playing sports.

Homes on this project are especially perfect for large families, with a 5+kk starting at CZK 16.59 million—several millions of crowns cheaper than a Prague equivalent. 

The project's affordability, and popularity, are also underscored by just how few of the remain: all bungalows and apartments are sold out, and only one remaining plot of land (1,093 square meters) remains on sale. 

More family homes are slated to be ready to move into at the end of this year, which makes it all the more important to keep track of available housing in the area.

More than just residential apartments, Vysoký Újezd is a community in the making. The development is divided into several residential districts, each designed to foster strong neighborhood ties. The careful planning of these districts also ensures that the village will grow organically. 

The developers' collaboration with the local municipality further reinforces the sense of community. Ongoing dialogue with local representatives focuses on improving infrastructure, expanding educational opportunities, and revitalizing the village square, ensuring that Vysoký Újezd remains a vibrant and dynamic place to live for the years and decades to come.
