Cars come in from outside for the Borongaj campus, for deliveries to the wholesale market, and for work in the Žitnjak industrial zone.

How Parkly calculates the rating
We score three published figures and print all three below. Residential density and the number of charged streets are worth up to two points each, and a district with no public garage picks up one more, 5 at most.
- Residential density, 1,502/km²: 0 points. Two points from 5,000/km² up, one from 2,000.
- Charged streets on the official list, 0: 0 points. Two points from 100 streets up, one from 25.
- No public Zagreb parking garage: one point.
The rating is our own assessment of the whole city district, computed from the three figures listed above. It is not a measurement of occupancy: it says nothing about how many spaces are free in your street, or at what hour.
Frequently asked questions, Peščenica - Žitnjak
How much does parking in Peščenica - Žitnjak cost?
Nothing. There is not a single charged street in Peščenica - Žitnjak. Zagreb sets charging street by street, and none from this district is on Zagreb parking's official list, so there is no zone, no meter and no resident permit either. It also means nobody has a space of their own on the street: it is free, but in the evening you hunt for it. A private space carries its price on the listing and has no time limit.Is there a garage in Peščenica - Žitnjak?
Zagreb parking runs no public garage in Peščenica - Žitnjak, and neither does it in 12 of the 17 city districts; all 10 city garages are elsewhere, the nearest being Maksimir's, at Kvaternikov trg and Svetice. Zero means the city runs no garage here, not that there is nowhere indoors. Shopping centres and retail parks along Radnička cesta and Slavonska avenija have car parks of their own, but those are private, the owner sets the rules, and they close when the centre closes. Private garages and courtyard spaces are on no list.Where do you park at the Borongaj campus?
The streets around the campus are not in a paid zone, so parking is free, which is exactly why the spaces are gone by mid-morning. Borongaj takes students and staff from across the city every day, and Ferenščica and Volovčica next to it are residential, with spaces that already belong to someone. A private space nearby is taken by the month or for the whole academic year, and does not depend on who arrived first.How much can I earn renting out my parking space in Peščenica - Žitnjak?
We publish no average: there are not yet enough listings in Peščenica - Žitnjak for a number to be anything but an anecdote, and an invented one is worse than none. Check the active listings in your own street and the nearest ones in the district. A monthly resident permit is the floor and a public garage space the ceiling, neither exists here, so both are only reference points. The owner sets the price, and it is on the listing.
