Żurrieq is one of the larger villages in Malta’s South Eastern district, with a historic core set back from the coast and close to both the Blue Grotto and the small fishing hamlet of Wied iż-Żurrieq. Newer residential development has extended around that older centre in recent years, giving the town a broader mix of housing stock than many of its smaller neighbours.
Property market
Price levels in Żurrieq are low relative to Malta’s central and coastal localities, part of the broadly affordable southwest of the island, while rental demand is moderate. The town’s larger size and more varied housing stock give it a somewhat deeper rental market than the smaller villages immediately around it.
Who buys in Żurrieq
Żurrieq suits buyers and investors looking for affordability with a bit more scale and choice of housing type than the smallest South Eastern villages offer. It draws both local families and value-focused rental investors rather than tourism-driven or lifestyle buyers.
