Due to the high demand on the housing market, it may seem that every investment will find buyers’ interest and the key is its economic dimension. Meanwhile, in the Krakow real estate market, one can observe the trend of SMART market creation, in which the added value is the quality of life of residents of a given investment, especially in terms of using renewable energy sources and ensuring a well-organized space around the investment. The implementation of intelligent energy networks and the widespread use of renewable energy sources will result in more efficient energy transfer, waste recycling, faster identification of the threat and repair after a possible failure. Using, for example, the resources of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, the implementation of ecological solutions is not related to the excessive price of such investments, and guarantees a higher quality of life for new owners. The article presents good practices in the design of housing estates in the city of Krakow. One of such closed settlements is "Osiedle Fi", whose location guarantees good public transport, additionally underground parking places a lot of green areas outside, positively affecting the microclimate of the area. The buildings are made of natural materials and the common parts of the property are illuminated from solar energy. The use of renewable energy sources favors both the environment and reduces the cost of maintaining the property. Rainwater is also used. The next smart housing estate is "Osiedle Ozon". It is a comfortable housing estate with functional land development. Among its main attributes, it is worth mentioning a lot of greenery and naturally diversified terrain. There were used plant species, which have the ability to catch harmful chemicals or dust from soil and air. In this work, a statistical analysis was conducted to compare the prices of housing properties in these two selected settlements to the prices of real estate in the area, indicating statistically insignificant differences in the economic aspect, with significant differences in the quality of life of the potential buyer.

The construction of such a large road facility as the city beltway can not have an impact on the environment. In addition to the obvious benefits to transport, attention should be paid to the environment of the area, in particular noise and air pollution. In December 2017, the Minister of Infrastructure and Construction signed the investment program for the implementation of the northern Krakow bypass road. General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, the Kraków branch has announced an open tender for its implementation into the EU. Today, in our tender for the design and construction of the northern bypass road of Krakow, 8 offers was received. All tenderers give the date of completion of all works within 47 months. The length of the two-lane section of the beltway is about 12 km, each roadway will have 3 lanes. The POK (North Beltway od Cracow) will run mostly in the area of the Zielonki commune, through the towns of: Zielonki, Bibice, Węgrzce, Bosutów, Dziekanowice and Batowice. The analysis carried out show a very large increase in the value of real estates located in the northern part of Krakow and adjacent areas in recent years. According to the authors, the construction of the northern beltway and easier access to the center of Krakow through the modernization of the November 29 avenue will contribute to even greater interest in real estates located in this area. Real estate prices will certainly increase, rather only at the beginning of the investment. Residents will gain the comfort of an alternative transport line, but there will also be an increase in noise and air pollution, which is a particularly important problem in and around Krakow. The article presents the validation of these three issues in relation to changes in the real estate market in the commune of Zielonki.
