Stodůlky or Řepy?
Two large housing estates in the west of Prague where families move for a bigger flat and greenery. Stodůlky has metro line B, Řepy the tram and a quieter, smaller scale. The table shows how they differ today.
Stodůlky (Prague 13) and Řepy (Prague 17) lie next to each other on the western edge of Prague. Both are mainly prefab housing estates from the 1980s with newer buildings on their edges, with lots of greenery and playgrounds between the blocks. For families they differ mainly in transport, size and services. The table is calculated live from the data; the better value in each row is highlighted.

Stodůlky
Stodůlky is much bigger and has metro B, so you get to the centre without changing. Around the stations there are shops, restaurants, sports grounds and cultural venues, and the Central Park lies in the middle of the estate. The main roads and the metro also mean more bustle in some streets; the address check shows whether it affects your building.
Řepy
Řepy is a smaller, more self-contained estate without the metro: you get to the centre by tram and change to metro B at Zličín. It is close to Bílá Hora and to the countryside on the edge of the city. There are fewer services and schools, so it pays to check in advance where your child will go to school and nursery.
Which one to choose
If you need to get to the centre quickly by metro and want services and children’s activities close by, Stodůlky fits better. If you prefer a smaller estate with the tram and nature behind the building, look at Řepy. In both, the specific building decides: the catchment school, noise from the main road and the distance to the stop vary from street to street.
