Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the spatial and socio-economic transformation of one of Warsaw’s large-scale housing estates – Służew nad Dolinką, especially after 1989. In spite of potential threat of physical and social degradation, the area has not converted into a city slum and still offers attractive living conditions for its inhabitants. Continuous and regular actions of the local housing association, city authorities, entrepreneurs and dwellers, as well as propitious circumstances of the Warsaw real estate market, protect the estate from physical and social decline.
