Why live in Luqa?
Position
Beside the airport and on the main road network, so most of the island is reachable.
Price
Well below the coastal towns for the same space.
Amenities
Larger than the villages around it, with shops, schools and services.
The south
Central to the southern employment areas.
The lifestyle
Luqa is defined by the airport in both directions: it makes the town very convenient for anyone working there, and it puts aircraft over parts of it. Which streets are affected varies with the runway in use, and this is the single thing to check before committing. The town itself is an ordinary Maltese one with a square, a church, shops and schools. Road connections are good — better than most southern villages — which makes the commute north more bearable than from the deeper south, though still a real journey at peak times. Prices reflect all of the above and are low.
Property in Luqa
A mix of townhouses, maisonettes and apartments, most of it plain rather than characterful, with newer blocks appearing. Outdoor space is common in the older stock. Prices and rents are among the lower on the island for the space offered. Both furnished and unfurnished lettings occur.
Who is this area best for?
Airport and logistics workers
The shortest commute available to the terminal and the freight areas.
Value-seekers
Space at prices the north cannot match.
Drivers
Better connected than most of the south.
Less suited to
Anyone sensitive to aircraft noise, and anyone wanting character or a sea view.
