Cultural Note
Most Polish families in cities live in 'mieszkania' (apartments) rather than houses. After getting married, finding or buying a 'mieszkanie' is a major milestone. In Polish culture, having your own apartment is seen as essential for starting a family, and many young couples save for years to achieve this.
