Why live in Munxar?

Victoria
A few minutes away for everything practical.
The lifestyle
Munxar is a residential village that happens to sit above one of Gozo’s busiest summer spots. That is a good arrangement: Xlendi’s restaurants and swimming are close enough to walk to and far enough that the summer noise stays down there. The village itself has little beyond basics. The walk down to the bay is easy; the walk back up is not, and most people drive it. Winter is very quiet, as Xlendi largely closes. A car is needed.
Property in Munxar
Apartments and maisonettes make up much of the newer stock, with farmhouses and older houses in and around the village. Some properties take the sea and valley views. Holiday letting competes for the best of it in summer. Prices are more moderate than in Xlendi itself for much the same access.
Who is this area best for?
Couples
Xlendi on the doorstep without living in the middle of it.
Families
Quiet streets, close to Victoria and its schools.
Value-seekers
Cheaper than the bay for a short walk.
Less suited to
Anyone without a car, and anyone wanting a lively winter.
