Summary/Abstract: Changes on the Polish housing market determined by the demographic shifts occurring within the society are, according to many experts, imminent. For this reason, in recent years, an increased interest in the issue of developing the housing offer for seniors has been observed. The purpose of this article is to present the preferences of senior citizens regarding their future places of residence. In order to achieve this objective, questionnaire surveys conducted among professionally active real estate agents operating in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, have been employed. The results of the conducted research demonstrate that senior citizens are most likely to search for flats which consist of two bedrooms and have a floor space of up to 50 sq m. Flats in blocks of flats are the most sought-after types of real estate The features of the real estate which are of greatest importance to senior citizens are the location – close to family members and public transport, a balcony, and whether the building has been adapted to the needs of the disabled.
