A renter's guide to Solymár
Solymár is the first village on route 10 out of Óbuda, bordering district II at Pesthidegkút and district III along the Bécsi út side, with Üröm to the east and Pilisvörösvár beyond. It sits under the first hills of the Pilis, with the Kálvária hill above the church and the ruin of Solymár castle on its own knoll. Trails into the Jegenye valley and up to the Zsíros-hegy start at the end of the streets. It has been a commuter village since the 1980s and now has around eleven thousand residents, but the Swabian centre with its German-Hungarian street signs still reads as a village.
Daily life is easy: a primary school with a German minority programme, kindergartens, a health centre, a large supermarket and a strip of smaller shops along the main road, and a retail and light-industrial zone along route 10 where the PEMÜ factory used to be. Óbuda's shopping is ten minutes away by car. The price of that convenience is that route 10 and Bécsi út are among the most congested approaches to the city in the morning.

Getting around
- By car: route 10 to Bécsi út and Óbuda, then Margit híd or the Árpád híd. About 20 minutes to Óbuda off-peak; 40 to 60 minutes to Széll Kálmán tér or Árpád híd in the morning rush, when the queue starts at the village edge.
- Train on the Esztergom line from Solymár station: 30 to 35 minutes to Nyugati via Óbuda and Angyalföld, two trains an hour, with a connection to metro 3 at Nyugati and tram 1 at Kaszásdűlő on the way.
- Bus 64 from Hűvösvölgy runs into the village over the hill in 15 to 20 minutes; Volánbusz lines on route 10 reach Árpád híd in 35 to 45 minutes.
- A car is useful but not essential if you live within walking distance of the station or the main road.
What the homes are like
The market is mostly detached houses: older Swabian long houses in the centre, some carefully renovated, 1980s and 1990s family houses on the slopes, and newer detached and semi-detached homes on the Kerekhegy and the outer streets, typically 100 to 160 square metres with a garage. There are also flats, more than in most villages: the PEMÜ estate has 1970s brick blocks with small two- and three-room flats, and a few recent low-rise developments near the main road offer newer two-room flats. Houses on the Zsíros-hegy side come with views and a steep drive in winter.
Gas central heating is standard; check insulation on anything built before 2000 and whether a hillside house has parking that works in snow. Rents are among the higher ones in the Pilis villages because the village is so close to Buda.
Who it suits
Families who want a village with a real centre, hills on the doorstep and a train to the city, and who can accept route 10 traffic. It suits people working in Óbuda or the northern office corridor. It does not suit anyone who needs to be in the centre quickly by car every morning, or who wants the cheapest option in the Pilis.

Questions people ask about Solymár
How long is the commute from Solymár to Budapest?
By train, 30 to 35 minutes to Nyugati. By car, 20 minutes to Óbuda off-peak, but 40 to 60 minutes to Széll Kálmán tér or Árpád híd in the morning because route 10 and Bécsi út fill up early.
Do I need a car in Solymár?
Not strictly, if you live near the station or the main road: the train, bus 64 and the Volánbusz cover the city, and the shops are in the village. Most households still keep one for the hills and for shopping in Óbuda.
Are there flats to rent in Solymár?
Yes, more than in the other Pilis villages. The PEMÜ estate has small older flats, and a few newer low-rise buildings near the main road have two-room flats. The bulk of the market is still houses.
Is Solymár expensive?
For the Pilis, yes. Its position next to district II and III and the train keep rents above Pilisvörösvár or Piliscsaba, though still well below the same house inside Buda.
