A renter's guide to Tárnok
Tárnok is a village of about ten thousand people directly west of Érd, on the railway and the old route 7 between Budapest and Székesfehérvár. It does not border a Budapest district; Érd lies between it and district XXII. The village is flat and spread out along the railway, with vineyards and orchards on the slopes of the Öreg-hegy to the north, and it has kept the feel of a farming settlement even as new streets of houses have filled the gaps.
There is a primary school, kindergartens, a doctor, a pharmacy and a few small supermarkets; a real shopping trip means Érd, five minutes away, or the Budaörs retail zone. Tárnok's appeal is simple: a house with a garden at a lower rent than Érd or Diósd, twenty minutes from Kelenföld by train, with the M7 a short drive away. Sóskút and its quarry lie to the north-west, Martonvásár with its Brunszvik park a stop further down the line.

Getting around
- By car: route 7 through Érd or the M7 from the Érd junction, about 25 minutes to Kelenföld off-peak and 40 to 50 minutes in the morning rush.
- Train from Tárnok station on the Székesfehérvár line: 20 to 25 minutes to Kelenföld, 30 to 35 to Déli, with zonal trains roughly every half hour at peak.
- Volánbusz through Érd towards Kelenföld, slower than the train and mostly useful for reaching Érd itself.
- A car is close to necessary for anything beyond the daily train commute.
What the homes are like
The market is detached houses, in three broad kinds: older village houses in the Ófalu with big plots and mixed condition, 1970s and 1980s family houses on the flat streets near the station, and newer detached and semi-detached homes in Tárnokliget and on the outer streets, often 90 to 150 square metres with a garage. Flats are rare, usually a separated floor of a house; a genuine one-room let hardly exists here, so the low end of the ranges is indicative.
Heating is gas in nearly every house, wood stoves in some older ones. Ask about insulation and window age in anything built before 1990, and whether the plot has a well or is on mains water.
Who it suits
Families and couples who want a house with a garden on a modest budget and are happy with a train commute to Buda. It suits people who work in Érd, Budaörs or along the M7 corridor. It does not suit anyone wanting a flat, a lively centre, or an easy trip to the Pest side.
