From the annual observatory on the luxury real estate market, it emerged that Sicily is the fifth most sought after region, but Palermo is the most sought after city in Italy. The great historical / cultural charm of the Sicilian capital, the tourist revival of the whole region and the numerous luxury properties combined with competitive prices may be some of the reasons for this unexpected surge.
It often happens that those who visit Palermo for vacation or for other reasons fall in love with it and decide to invest in the purchase of a property. Characterized by a mild and temperate climate during the year and very hot summers but with a low humidity rate, this Sicilian city has an area of about 5000 square kilometers.
In fact, in the surrounding area there are agricultural land dedicated to the cultivation of typical products of the Mediterranean area. Breathtaking landscapes and architectural and monumental beauties are not lacking (and in fact Palermo is always frequented by tourists, all year round).
If you decide to find a property in Palermo to live there permanently or to have a point of reference on the island, you must first know the city and the best neighborhoods where to buy it.
Generally the cost of living in Palermo is quite low (especially when compared to the Italian regions), so there are excellent opportunities for real estate in the center too.
Palermo is divided into 25 distinct districts, each with different characteristics, services and options. What is the best neighborhood to buy a property in?
If we take into account the prices and the quality of the services offered, among the best neighborhoods of this charming Sicilian city there are certainly La Kalsa, Brancaccio, Partanna, Zen. Let's see them one at a time.
La Kalsa: is the oldest district of the city, the one that already existed during the domination of the Arabs. The historic center is characterized by old buildings and often in poor condition that need renovation to be able to live there. But great deals are made here, and buying a property can turn out to be a good investment.
Brancaccio: located in the south-eastern part of the city, this fairly "new" neighborhood is well connected to other parts of the island through the main traffic arteries. Unfortunately, however, in this neighborhood the traffic is quite strong, and it is far from the relaxing atmosphere that can be breathed in other areas of the city. However, if city life and traffic are not a problem, this area can reserve pleasant surprises.
Partanna: located in the north of Palermo, it is a neighborhood well connected to the center and is rather quiet. Here the costs of real estate are quite low, so there is a real possibility of making profitable purchases.
Zen: in Palermo this is the district where, due to the low rental prices, the greatest number of students is concentrated. However, this area, full of popular buildings, does not enjoy a good reputation. However, this does not mean that, with a bit of luck, more peaceful and pleasant situations can also be found in this neighborhood.
Of course, to avoid unpleasant situations and unnecessary waste of time, it is preferable to contact agencies specialized in real estate sales to find the best offers and areas of Palermo that best suit your personal needs.
