The lifestyle
Zebbug is a working Maltese town with a fine old core and ordinary residential areas around it. It is quiet, inexpensive and local, with little aimed at foreign residents. The main roads through it are busy at peak times. It is a reasonable drive from most of the island and a poor one from Sliema at rush hour. For anyone who wants an old house with a courtyard and does not need the coast, it is among the better-value places on the island.
Property in Zebbug
Good stock of houses of character and townhouses in and around the core, with apartments and maisonettes in the newer parts. Courtyards and generous room sizes are common. Prices are low relative to the equivalent inland villages nearer the centre. Older properties vary widely in condition and many need work. Unfurnished lets are the norm.
Who is this area best for?
People wanting character
Old houses at prices that make restoration realistic.
Families
Space, schools and quiet.
Budget-conscious renters
Considerably more property per euro than the coast.
Less suited to
Daily commuters to the harbour towns, and anyone wanting the sea or modern housing.
