Types of Properties in Malta & Gozo

Apartments & Maisonettes

Apartments are the most common type of residence in Malta, ranging from studios suitable for individuals to spacious seafront penthouses with terraces and stunning views. They can be found in small independent blocks or large complexes with communal amenities like pools or gardens. Maisonettes are a variation of apartments with separate entrances on the ground floor, often featuring backyards, while top-floor units have private roof terraces. These properties are becoming more common across Malta as recently most terreced houses are being converted into apartments as seen in localities such as Gzira, Pembroke, Naxxar, and Swieqi.

Villas & Bungalows

For those seeking ultimate privacy and spacious living, detached or semi-detached houses offer surrounding gardens and private or communal pools. Bungalows, single-story dwellings, are a popular choice, while villas, spread across two floors, are considered luxury properties due to their size and typically large plots of land. These are typically found in the most sought-after areas of Malta and Gozo, such as Madliena, Mellieha more specifically Santa Maria Estate, and Lija.

Terraced Houses

Modern terraced houses, built over two floors with at least a 6m frontage, offer a blend of spacious living and outdoor enjoyment. These properties typically include a garage, both front and back gardens, and vary significantly in price based on location and finish. Owning a terraced house in Malta presents an attractive investment opportunity, providing ample outdoor space for entertaining while still offering the privacy and comfort of a house with minimal disturbance from neighbors. Most of the terraced houses still remain in the residential areas of Malta, such as Mosta, Naxxar, and the southern part like Gudja, Kirkop and Mqabba.

Houses of Character & Farmhouses

Malta boasts charming houses of character and farmhouses, available both in their original state and beautifully converted with modern amenities. These properties seamlessly blend contemporary comforts with historical features like wooden beams, mill rooms, and central courtyards, often found nestled within villages or the countryside and offering ample outdoor space. As these properties are protected by law, these properties are typically found in the rural areas of Malta, such as Rabat, Siggiewi, and Mgarr. Gozo also offers a selection of farmhouses, particularly in the village of Gharb and Kercem.
