Living in Naxxar
An old central village that has grown a great deal around its historic core. Naxxar offers village character with modern housing around it, and sits close enough to the middle of the island that most places are a reasonable drive.

Why live in Naxxar?
Village character
A real square, a parish church and an old core that has kept its shape.
Central location
Roughly in the middle of the island, so most destinations are reachable without a long drive.
Space
Houses with outdoor space are attainable in a way they are not near the coast.
Quiet
Residential and calm, particularly away from the main roads.
The lifestyle
Naxxar is a family town. The old centre is attractive and quiet; around it are newer residential developments that are ordinary but comfortable, with the usual local shops and schools. There is little nightlife and not much to walk to in the evening, so social life tends to involve driving. Main roads through the area carry commuter traffic and are busy at peak times. It is a place chosen for the home rather than for what is outside the door.
Property in Naxxar
A broad mix: apartments and maisonettes in the newer parts, townhouses and houses of character in and around the old core, and villas on the outskirts. Properties with terraces, yards or gardens are far more common than in the coastal towns. Unfurnished long lets are more common here than in the expat-heavy areas, which suits people bringing their own furniture and planning to stay.
Who is this area best for?
Families
Space, schools, quiet streets and a central position.
Longer-term renters
The kind of area people settle in rather than pass through.
Couples wanting space
More house for the money than the coast.
Less suited to
Anyone without a car, and anyone who wants restaurants and bars within walking distance.
