Pomeranian Voivodeship capital on the Oder River in northwest Poland — 10km from the German border, historically a German Hanseatic port (Stettin) handed to Poland in 1945. The Old Town (rebuilt post-WWII with Hanseatic-revival architecture) and Aleja Jana Pawła II (the main commercial axis) anchor the walkable cores. Same Poland visa story; Schengen. The structural draws are meaningful sub-Warsaw/Krakow pricing, the Oder-river-mouth geography (the Szczecin Lagoon and Baltic access), and direct rail to Berlin (2h15) — Poland's cheapest Baltic-adjacent base.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
