Peščenica – Žitnjak or Sesvete?
Two city districts that share a border, side by side: what people ask for rent there today, how you get to the centre and what's nearby. The numbers don't choose for you: each says how many listings stand behind it.

How we count
Rents are medians of today's active asking prices (a flat listed twice counts once), with the number of listings behind each. A median is shown only from 10 listings per district.
Minutes are ZET tram or bus travel time with walking, for weekday departures between 7 and 9 am (ZET timetable, 28 Sept 2026 – 31 Dec 2026).
Residents, renting households and empty dwellings are from the 2021 Census (as of 31 August 2021); kindergartens, schools, pharmacies and parks from City of Zagreb open data and OpenStreetMap, per 10,000 residents because a bigger district has more of everything.
