Nádražní: the best connectivity in town
Nádražní is Šternberk's modern transit artery. The railway station and bus terminal are within walking distance of the building, which makes this the natural first place to look for anyone who works or studies in Olomouc but wants to live more cheaply. Trains to Olomouc run regularly and the journey takes about 15 minutes — commuting here isn't a compromise but a full alternative to paying substantially more rent in the regional capital.
Nádražní also concentrates the town's retail and services — Tesco and Lidl supermarkets, medical clinics, sports facilities and schools are all a few minutes' walk away. A tenant has everything needed within a radius manageable on foot.
Why Nádražní makes sense for investors
- Connectivity is a rental apartment's most liquid feature. Units within walking distance of the station let faster and with shorter voids between tenants than comparable apartments on the town's edge. That feeds directly into real, not just theoretical, yield.
- Entry prices around a third lower than in Olomouc. Less capital per unit means a higher percentage yield and room for future appreciation.
- Price convergence with Olomouc. Olomouc prices have climbed at double-digit rates in recent years, and that pressure spills into more affordable surrounding towns. The gap to Šternberk acts as both a cushion and an engine for value growth.
- The Olomouc commuter effect. Demand isn't confined to the local market — the pool widens with everyone heading to Olomouc for work or study who wants affordable housing with a real connection.
- Resilience to market fluctuation. Accessible healthcare, strong regional employers and the education sector sustain demand even in weaker years. Rental markets in district towns are less volatile than those in regional-capital centres.
- The town's commercial and logistics hub. Tesco, Lidl and associated services immediately nearby. The tenant needs no car — and the owner has one more argument at every re-letting.
- Location quality protects value. A setting at the foot of the Nízký Jeseník highlands, an urban heritage zone and Šternberk Castle give the town an identity that sustains demand and reduces tenant turnover.

Investor takeaway
Nádražní is Šternberk's shortest walk to both the train and the shops. For a rental apartment that means the most valuable things of all: short time-to-let, minimal voids, and a tenant with no reason to move. A low entry price and proximity to a growing Olomouc add long-term value growth on top.
