The lifestyle
Fgura is dense and built up, with heavy traffic on the roads through it and limited parking. There is no old core to speak of and little that is picturesque — it grew as housing and remains housing. What it offers is affordable, reasonably sized flats close to the southern harbour towns. It is a local town with few foreign residents, and everyday life happens in Maltese as much as English.
Property in Fgura
Apartments and maisonettes almost exclusively, much of it built in the last few decades. Flats tend to be larger than their equivalent rents buy in the north. Condition varies and the newer blocks are noticeably better. Both furnished and unfurnished are common. Rents are among the lower ones for a central-south location.
Who is this area best for?
Budget-conscious renters
Space for less than anywhere north.
Families
Larger flats and schools nearby.
People working in the south
Well placed for the harbour and southern areas.
Less suited to
Anyone wanting quiet, parking, character or a short commute to St Julian’s.
