Zagreb is on fire with demand for studio apartments!
If you thought the real estate market in Zagreb was boring, think again! The hottest property right now is a studio apartment in Borongaj, measuring 34 square meters, located on the 5th floor of a 1960s building without an elevator (but with plans to install one!). The price? A modest 115,990 euros.
Why is this studio such a hit? Location is key! Borongaj is known for its access to all essential amenities and public transport. Heating is central gas, a big plus in winter. Although the building lacks an elevator, plans to install one mean the property’s value will only increase.
But wait, there are other offers! For example, in Makarska, a newly built apartment of 48.33 m2 with a 5.3 m2 terrace is for sale at around 150,000 euros, with mandatory purchase of a garage spot for 18,000 euros or an outdoor parking spot for 10,000 euros. Or maybe a weekend house near the Drava river with an orchard and a large yard for just 33,000 euros? Or a luxurious century-old stone villa on Brač with a pool and jacuzzi for a staggering 1,200,000 euros?
Zagreb or Dalmatia? While Borongaj is hot for those seeking a functional and affordable apartment, Dalmatia offers luxury and peace but at higher prices. Apartments in quiet neighborhoods of New Zagreb, like Trnsko, sell for about 120,000 euros, while seaside properties in Zadar or Brač are significantly more expensive.
What do buyers want? Functionality, location, and affordability. The Borongaj studio is a perfect example — enough space to live, close to everything, and the price isn’t astronomical. For those with deeper pockets, luxury villas and seaside apartments are tempting options.
Conclusion? The Croatian real estate market is as diverse as its offerings. From modest studios in Zagreb to luxury villas on the Adriatic, there’s something for everyone. But if you want to be in the spotlight, the Borongaj studio is the star of the market right now.
So, what about you? Would you pick the studio for 115,990 euros or the villa with a pool for a million and a half? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s the realist and who’s the dreamer!
