Nowe Górce (Polish: [ˈnɔ.vɛ ˈɡur.t͡sɛ]; lit. 'New Górce') is a neighbourhood in the Bemowo district of Warsaw, Poland, in the eastern side of the City Information System area of Górce. It is a high-rise residential area dominated by apartment buildings. The neighbourhood features the Bemowo station of the M2 line of the Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground system.
Górce was founded prior to the 15th century, as a small farming community. It suffered significant damage from the Swedish army during the Second Northern War, recovering in the 17th century, and further developing in the 18th century. Between the 1920s and 1940s, the village became a suburb of Warsaw, with the development of single-family detached homes, and was incorporated into the city in 1951. In the 1980s, the area was crossed by Powstańców Śląskich Street, cutting it into two neighbourhoods, Stare Górce to the west, and Nowe Górce to the east. It began being developed with the housing estates of apartment buildings.
